The first ever KL Cocktail Week was a celebration of a vibrant, growing scene


The KLCW Festival Village saw all the bars and brands come together for a vibrant day of drinks and revelry.

The city went cocktail crazy a couple of weeks ago when the first ever major Kuala Lumpur Cocktail Week swept across the Klang Valley with a stellar lineup of guest shifts by international bars, masterclasses and seminars, a nationwide cocktail competition, cocktail dinner pairings, and a one-day Festival Village that brought all these elements together.

The KLCW ran from April 24 to 30, and though it isn’t the first event to bear the name ‘KL Cocktail Week’, it WAS arguably the first MAJOR one, as the previous one in 2011 was held at a much smaller scale, with just five bars and spanning five days.
