Malaysia’s cocktail scene enjoyed one of its best ever showings on the list of Asia’s 50 Best Bars this evening, with one bar in the Top 10, and two others in the Top 50.

Petaling Street cocktail bar Penrose was crowned the Best Bar In Malaysia after coming in at No 8, the best ever placing for a Malaysian bar since the list was created in 2016. The previous highest ranking was the now defunct Omakase + Appreciate's No. 10 placing in that inaugural list.
