A
Bed
Get those bed puns ready: the space that launched a thousand quips is arguably the fulcrum of Kota Kinabalu nightlife, and it’s a rare night out that won’t see you ending up in Bed at some point. Bands play from 9pm, followed by DJs til closing.

Geographér Café
This ventilated, breezy bar with outside seating and late hours, in a prewar corner shophouse, is a godsend. A tasty choice of local and Western dishes (meals around RM8) and laid-back, but professional, service round it all off.

C
Laundry
The first of the new breed of suburban club-bars in KL, Laundry has a reputation for slow service but brilliant live music. The attitude can be a bit overbearing but the bar does a commendable job of supporting local musical talent, particularly indie bands.

Slippery Senoritas
Vaguely Spanish-style bar that has occasional live music. The dress code is smart casual and it’s popular with Western expats and the Malaysians who love them (or is that the other way round?).

R&B Pub
Inside the Merchant Hotel, this lively club features live music most nights. There's also a dart board and pool table, but shorts and sandals are no-nos here.

Hard Rock Café
Ok, so it's a tacky international chain, but it's worth swinging by for the impressive line up of live bands. Weekends have the best live acts.

Small, chic, jazz and live-music venue and bar with an eclectic line-up of artists; the stage is hidden behind a heavy wood door to the rear. Once a month Time Out also hosts its On the Up event here, showcasing local singers and bands doing their own material.
