Rooftop bar view of the Petronas Twin Towers at night

KL's best rooftop views of the Twin Towers

Few skylines look better at night than KL's. The Petronas Twin Towers glow silver after dark. The best seats in town are on the city's rooftops.

Here are 10 rooftop bars in KL where the towers are the main view. Each comes with floor, hours, dress code and prices where the sources list them.

Note for Muslim travellers: These are bars that serve alcohol. Some list mocktails or non-alcoholic drinks. We've flagged those below. For a halal-friendly way to see the towers up high, try the Petronas Skybridge and observation deck. Our KL 3D2N itinerary covers it.

Tips for rooftop bars in KL

Malaysia Asia offers these tips:

  • Go in the evening to catch sunset before the city lights up.
  • Haze or rain can reduce visibility.
  • Weekends and public holidays get very crowded.
  • Cover charges may apply after 21:00 at busy venues.

Our own tips:
