It has been a tough couple of years for the Malaysian bar community, but things are finally looking up now. The industry even had something to cheer about recently when the list of Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2022 was announced at an awards ceremony in Bangkok, Thailand.

Kuala Lumpur bars Bar Trigona and JungleBird came in at #29 and #35 respectively on the list, which featured establishments from 16 cities across Asia.
