Entertainment in Malaysian Borneo – Sarawak

  1. A

    Soho

    This is arguably the hippest bar in the centre – even the name oozes London cool. Local Gossip Girl -esque youngsters hobnob to grind-worthy play lists of jazz, dance and latin beats. The atmosphere starts out relaxed but can definitely build up some heat under the red lights as the night draws on!

    Mojo

    Wander through to the back of the Denise wine shop and you may think you’ve entered another world – this is a cocktail lounge every bit as fashionable as you might find in KL or Singapore, with a giggly young crowd trying to live up to the style.

  3. Pelita Commercial Centre

    Those keen on a pub crawl might consider catching a taxi to this warren of small bar-lined streets 3km north of the centre. Anyone with an aversion to disco glitterballs, karaoke and expats need not apply for the experience.

  4. Jambu

    Jambu? Crookshank? The names in Kuching are pretty weird, but this local fave in a blazing pink bungalow is a hip spot to sling back a few designer cocktails with friends. Closed on Mondays.

    Cottage

    Fitted out along the lines of an English pub (albeit one with no walls), proceedings start gently here with lunchtime and evening meals, leading into live music six nights a week.

    Wheels Bistro Café

    This slightly dingy bistro-pub often has live music and is a favourite hang-out for Miri’s expat community.
