Hi,

I've just permanently moved to KL a couple weeks ago and I'm looking for good places to go for drinks and meeet people/socialise. So far I've been to Sold Out, WIP and Ecoba (in Banda Damansara Perdana). I'm wondering if there's any other bars where people hang out in the 20-30s age group. I'm keen to make a new friends pool in KL as I've had to leave my friends back in Europe :(

Also, if anyone frequents the FitnessFirst in Mont Kiara give me a shout. I'm there most days (times varying).

Hi Richard, I found a good place the other week called the Reggae Bar in Chinatown, I think it might be just up your street, there's a good mix of people in there.
Let me know if you're going, I'll meet you there for a beer.
                   Cheers  Dave

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the advice. I'll definitely drop you a line when I plan to go. Hopefully sometime this weekend.

Hi Richie, I reckon you should check out 21 bar at changkat, bukit bintang!

richie243

Thanks Mirnaari, I will definitely check it out. I saw in another thread that you were looking for drinking buddies. I'd be up for a drink with a new group of people sometime. Let me know if anything ever materialises.

3 years since I've been in there but it was a great place back then.
Jalan HS Tun Lee, just outside chinatown.

Watch your wallet and never leave your drinks unattended in BB bars. Bad, and well deserved, rep for naughty people hanging around.

mirnaari

Hi, yeah we should plan something with other members here, a meet up at a pub or sumthing..

richie243

That sounds good. How about we all meet up somewhere this Friday? 9PMish? I'm open to bar suggestions since I was asking for new bars to go to ;)

mirnaari

I can't do this friday, already booked.. how about next friday? do you guys happen to have facebook, its easier to communicate there..

Christine

Hello, :)

An Expat.com meet up is a brilliant idea. You just have to suggest a day, a place and time. ;) You may start a new topic on the Kuala Lumpur forum, for better visibility, we will stick the discussion. (very easy) :)

OK, well next Friday is good too. But I'm going to go out tonight for a few drinks. I guess I'll check out 21 and see how that is. If anyone wants to join me I'll be there around 10PM. PM me or txt (***)

I am keen to go and have a couple of drinks too. Do you guys have any plans for this weekend?

Lauriebug

Hey everyone. I've been living in KL for a while now but missing expat friends - would love to get to know a few more people. If there are any drinks coming up, would love to join and meet some new friends! 28, british, bored. I work in KL but they pay me far too much to do far too little, so I get bored a lot! :) Hope to meet some cool people to have a drink with.
Cheers!

Hey everyone,

Glad to see people are still interested in meeting up.

Issac, Laurie, we've tried to organise a meet up with small success. I've been busy lately so haven't had time to give it another go. But I'm thinking of organising something this week. I'll probably post it in the 'Expat.com Meet Up' post.

Let me know if your interested.
Rich

Lauriebug

Sure. I'm rubbish at remembering to check stuff like this but I saw you posted your number up so I'll give you a buzz Friday ish and see if you're up to anything.

hunnyjune

That will be great...waiting for the confirmation yea

richie243

Issacneng
