It\u2019s safe to say, in Malaysia, there are not a lot of spots where you can enjoy the whole package all together; entertainment, cocktails & food. Ril\u2019s Bar is definitely snugly fitted into that category; also being one of KL\u2019s top hidden speakeasy bars with fun events happening every weekend which brings you back to the vintage 1940\u2019s swing & blues area.<\/p>\n

Ril\u2019s Bangsar is not only known for it\u2019s hidden, plush bar at the top flight of the stairs, but it\u2019s been awarded twice by Time Out KL for having the best steak for fine dining; it\u2019s succulent meat variety and selection is cooked to perfection and it is the perfect spot for avid steak fans. Price range? All I can say is you get what you pay for and maybe even more, every cent invested towards a meal in Ril\u2019s will be fully rewarded by the satisfaction your brain cells will transmit. Full pleasure ahead!<\/p>\n

Walking up those wooden stairs and through the dark, red show curtains, will whirl you back into an era that is very similar to a London-style vintage lounge with a vibe from the 1940\u2019s bars for swing, blues & jazz. Readily and steadily armed with cigars, the best of the best alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages made by award-winning bartender from London who definitely knows his stuff and entertainment awaits guests during busy weekends, Ril\u2019s Bar with its dark & sensual atmosphere gives off the exact vibe you think you\u2019d feel if you turn back to a classic swing bar during war-time in America or Europe. The bathroom, designed by Tunku Khairil Ibrahim\u2019s (owner) wife, Lauren McAughtry is definitely a female\u2019s spot-on retreat to go powder your nose and enjoy every bit of lavish decoration such as the colorful parrot wallpaper, inside. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not hard to see why people flock back to Ril\u2019s Bar for drinks and fun, James Barker who is in full charge and command of the bar knows exactly what to prepare for anyone\u2019s selection of taste for a beverage or cocktail; on top of preparing classics like Old-Fashions, Mojitos, and so on; Barker has also pushed the cocktail world to a whole other level with his custom drinks specially made for Ril\u2019s. In between those drinks, you\u2019ll find yourself taking a sip from fun-titled drinks such as the \u2018No Bra\u2019 which has home-made vanilla bubble pearls, \u2018The Voiron\u2019 which consists of a herbal affair of creamy sweetness and sharp citric sourness, and so much more! If you can\u2019t tolerate a high intake of alcohol, don\u2019t worry as fresh juices and the ever famous \u2018Rawa-Iced Tea\u2019 is served as well, the \u2018Rawa-Iced Tea\u2019 is also served on Tunku Khairil\u2019s notorious island, Alang\u2019s Rawa which is also one of Malaysia\u2019s top spots and so much more satisfying to the palate than your usual iced tea. <\/p>\n

Based in Singapore as head of Yoga Movement and ambassador of several popular sports brands, she is also a talented soul singer; not to mention the fact that she\u2019s appeared on the cover of FHM due to her natural beauty and toned yoga body! Coming back to the point, she\u2019s had a night of delightful soul at Ril\u2019s, including various other artists such as, Greg Lyons, Douche Manouche, The Lost Hat, Bechamel Mucho, Dasha Logan and FAZZ. Apart from this genre of classic music like blues, swing & jazz, events for a slightly more upbeat rhythm like Electro-Swing can be found at Ril\u2019s Bar, one of the artists, DJ French Chris has debuted some fine tunes alongside a live musician such as Aslak on the clarinet and Pei Ann Yeoh on the violin. Another artist, Ushera dedicates a sensual night of cabaret with a resemblance to a Jessica Rabbit vibe, Ril\u2019s Bar also debuts nights of fun indie, and reggae music by musicians such as Miserable Man with his unique voice and songs and Sergey Onischenko from Make Like A Tree singing indie, beard, folk rock. <\/p>\n
