  • 4/5 Wanderlust W. 1 year ago on Google • 346 reviews
    The place is lively,food is OK. But totally not enough staff to accommodate the customers. The tarven divides into ground floor and upper floor.To get the best spot,really suggest to book in advance. We bumped into the place without reservation but luckily got a table. If you are seat at the back or upper floor.The vibe is not good,like any other restaurants,it is noisy and you couldn't really listen to the live music.This is the major reason to come here. Foodwise is OK,the best thing is the live music.Place are huge and crowd on a Friday night.

    This place seems popular among the young working adult seeking for cheap beer and live music segment . Many groups celebrating birthdays. Happy Hour promo is 13 mugs of beer for RM 150. The coupons can be used for up to 2 weeks. I am normally not a beer drinker, but I felt the taste of beer slightly diluted . Also the beers are not served very cold . Music is a mixed of English, Mandarin and Cantonese . The food was fresh and tasted good . Simple and good . Service staff are fast and helpful . Peak days here are evenings of Monday, Thursday till Saturday so best to call and reserve seats in advance . Valet and road side parking available. If you park by the road side, best to walk with a friend to your car as the road here is without street lamps .

    Walk in to have a quick dinner and plan to listen to live band here. Better call for reservation especially weekend night which is very crowded with ppl. I get a bar table seat on upstairs (Best view/listen live band is at downstairs). Food is great. Ambience is great and chill. Just the service is abit slow and seems less staffs serving customers.

    Hidden location, spacious area. Good food and service. But they charge RM6 for parking which is not so nice after all. Was there during heavy rain. Too noisy due to sound from the roof during heavy rain. Can't really enjoy the atmosphere.

    The live house vibe is great. Food is great ,fair price and big portion too. Pretty disappointed when they said their hoegaarden is sold out. I think the singers rest at 9-10pm and they start singing at 10pm. So if wanna listen ti their singing maybe try to avoid this time period. When u get seated upstairs, u can tell the staffs to shift u downstairs when there is empty seat.

    If you're looking for a place to chill in KL, this is one of the best place. Make sure u booked through their online website to secure a table as this place is always crowded especially during the weekend! Many walk in customers couldn't get a table & left disappointed. Surprisingly their Thai food are amazing, but their western food is just so-so for me. Thai food is very 重口味. Tomyum soup is very spicy & sour. Chili lime steamed fish is also good. Pad Thai is very authentic too. Their 13 glass beer promo for rm150 ends 9pm (all day for Sunday) is worth to buy, and it remains valid for 2 weeks if you couldn't finish on the spot. They also have live band that starts from 8:30pm till 11:30pm. Very nice place to hang out with friends 💕

  • 5/5 Junna Foodie J. 2 years ago on Google • 166 reviews
    Great place to catch up with friends for beers. Price very affordable, the 1 glass beer from RM13. Very spacious with 2 floors, have live music (heard it's everyday), many choices of food or beer food. Customers are mostly young people, good for parties for sure. There is no specific signboard outside at the road, a bit like speakeasy tavern.

    Came here in early January, found out that they relocated. This is their 3rd location but it seems like it wasn't as fun as it used to be. Oh man, it feels like it was understaffed or the staffs were not well trained. Food - was underwhelming, portion quite small Service - we kept getting the wrong order and at one point they missed out one of my friend's food and they offered to replace it with the beer WE ORDERED 😅 Atmosphere - there are little to no sound proofing so despite the large aerial space, the sound just bounces off the zinc walls continuously. To speak to your friends you will have to really raise your voice lol To give it a benefit of the doubt, maybe when we went they just relocated and staff needed time to train n get better.

  • 5/5 Vin 8. 1 year ago on Google
    Walked in on fri night 630pm n got lucky we sat at the balcony, awesome view can see who enter n exit the restaurant (quite fun to watch). Food n drinks came at an acceptable time. Price not too bad. Foreign waiters were good and attentive. Only thing is the staircase used by both patrons n food servers. It’s narrow and I pity the waiters hv to carry food n drinks up and down like 100 times a day n risk of bumping with patrons walking down n fall. Install a food lift la

    Love their thai food and literally, we got our food in 5mins after we placed order. I think it's faster than some fast food chain. The beer package is 13mugs for RM160 but you can mix with the beer options they serve there. The only thing I wasn't happy about is when I ask help to charge a device it was rejected. Well, I understand its not a must to provide this service, but really needed a help but charging just a while however it was rejected. Again, this is my personal view, they do have the right to reject this request. The Thursday live band is my fav!

  • 2/5 Celine Y. 1 year ago on Google • 35 reviews
    Didn’t expect the food portion to be this small as we were a party of 7. Overall, food was pretty good. However, we had an “unexpected guest”, a baby cockroach running across our table. We asked the waiter for help and he literally just killed it for us. Didn’t even have the courtesy to apologize about it or whatsoever.

    The service has gotten really bad. I think I should have brought my own rice cooker and cook my rice because we waited for our rice for like an hour and it never came. Food was relatively okay, nothing too great. Basic meals with some chill vibes.

  • 1/5 John H. 2 years ago on Google
    If u got not enough manpower to prepare food, then don't take in food order, or at least inform customer before they order, not when customer ask only u give excuses say kitchen full this and that. Beer also take more than 30 minutes to serve (and they only serve after when we asked them multiple times), food already waited 1 hour and still counting. Other table came later but their food was served first. Poor management. This place used to be good but really what a let down. Will not come again.

  • 4/5 Phei S. 4 years ago on Google
    This place has changed from a semi-alfresco to a complete indoor bar which I think is a pretty good concept as people can visit, rain or shine. The live band was good, not too loud so, talking was possible. I like the vibe of the bar. It has 2 levels and it's nicely decorated with garden string lights. There is a mini covered carpark attached right beside the bar and the rest are uncovered.

    Went there in March 2022 with friends. I would say this is one of the best place to hangout with friends in PJ as it won’t be too hot even very pack. Awesome Thai food, nice drinks, spacious space and good environment 👍🏻

    One of the best places for beer and live band (mostly Mandarin/Cantonese songs) in Klang valley. Always full of people, and always satisfying experience.

    VERY BAD SERVICE! Ordered stir fried noodles with seafood but came with chicken instead, yet the waiter insisted I was the one ordered chicken. Don’t be stupid please I ordered what I don’t know?? 😅 And the noodle is freaking not nice as well, no taste at all. Won’t recommend here, rubbish place 😅

  • 3/5 Jozse Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Checked out this place to satisfy the crave for live music. Music is good and relaxing environment. Do not put high expectations on food - fried chicken wings is good but not the spaghetti, it is overcooked and taste like Maggie goreng with western noodle version.

  • 2/5 marcushugo 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible place to go, speakers like burst n still turn on so loud. Service sucks as whatever dish they bring u, they will forget to either bring u fork spoon or sauce. Price for 3 chicken wings at $22 which was really very very normal. It will be my first n last visit... Very bad experience in KL with a place like this! However, the singer was great which is why I gave it 2 stars, if not, they won't receive a single star if to rate.

  • 4/5 C.H. L. 6 years ago on Google
    Nice place for after work relaxing , the environment is cozy and food served was nice. This place will be crowded with people after working hours. If you wish to having your dinner there, please go early or make a reservation.

  • 3/5 Debbie C. 8 months ago on Google
    Good alcohol and food. Has good live band starting 8.30 PM. A really good hang out place on normal days. However now their air condition had spoiled and it’s really hot and humid downstairs. Preferably to sit upstairs or closer to the door.

  • 4/5 Janice C. 4 years ago on Google
    Food are mostly above average. The dry butter chicken taste quite good. All our order : tomyum fried rice , sweet potato fries, aglio olio. All taste pretty good. Price is at average range. This place is a lot better as compared to the old tavern as there’s aircond, however parking is a huge problem here. But there’s a parking area which is slightly further than the restaurant which u can park at.

  • 4/5 Jon H. 3 years ago on Google
    A great place to hangout. Environment and ambience is good. Price are reasonable but the foods are too salty. As always food serve in pubs salty level is above average to make you thirsty but in this place the level of saltiness is high.

  • 1/5 Hardip K. 2 years ago on Google
    This place used to be one of my favourate place to come fr chickn chop. Used to have super deliciuos chickn chop. Today i ordered the exact same menu but was serve late and chickn chop was nothing the same like before. On plate there are grilled drum stick chicken, 2 small brocolli, 2 small pieces carrots and instant mash potato (i guess) and sos. Thats all for Rm26.50 with sst. I have a picture of it. Action need to be taken immediately otherwise even loyal customers will tend to leave. Thank you.

  • 3/5 Steph 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Shi O. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Jimmy O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food. Reasonable priced. Good singers. Place is always full so remember to book in advance. Only 1 thing I dont like is the toilet which is dirty which is located outside of the restaurant.

  • 5/5 ethan low kok s. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is very relaxing and nice to hang out. Perhaps they need to work on their reservation call service, I Called two days to make a reservation and the Indian guy could tell me I didn’t make any. There was a lady that call to reserve but the Indian guy gave her 5 people table

  • 1/5 Jerry G. 2 years ago on Google
    Good singer, well performed. but seem like no local manager running the show, 8 Dec 2021 order chicken wing, lamb chop and four season pizza, after 2 hour long wait my pizza and lamb chop had yet to arrive, but the next table who order the same food already served. mr. manager if u see this please give me a call you are ripping your customer off. Very unreasonable. Server name Lokman. Right after i raise my voice to Lokman, the manager - Wen Long approach me to understand the entire situation and hear me out, apologies accepted, thats the way!

  • 2/5 Daniel T. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall service is bad. Very warm environment. Food is normal only. Would not recommend. Ordered Salad chicken for starter, take 40 mins and say kitchen is busy and the chicken is cold. Parking is just not convenient. Give a valet parking and car was at roadside. First and last time.

  • 5/5 Ken H. 2 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Catherine H. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was surprisingly good and portions are huge at a cheap price! Beers are cheap too. Nice place to hang out after work but not the best place if you wanna catch up with your friends. It tends to get really crowded and noisy later at night.

  • 4/5 Joyce Y. 1 year ago on Google

  • 3/5 Liz T. 3 years ago on Google
    Went for some salmon steak and bbq chicken wings. Food took some time to reach, forgotten our chicken wings and proceed to wait for another 20mins+. Taste is okay price is decent ambiance is really cozy. We only had a small problem with the waiter who gave the receipt as they were closing i think. He held on to the receipt until we asked if he can put down on table for us to check. When we wanted to pay by card he wanted to take our card until we asked if he can bring the machine or shld we go to counter. Keyed in the amount and kept asking us to tap the scanner until we asked if we can check the amt he keyed in. Maybe comm breakdown as most servers are non locals.

  • 4/5 Vape Heaven M. 3 years ago on Google
    Helpful servers and parking assistant, nice environment and reasonably priced drinks and food, only reason why 4 stars is place is a bit secluded and not easy to find at night if you've never been there

  • 3/5 jiawei c. 3 years ago on Google
    The lamb chip here is so so, overcook and potion small, but the tomyam is nice. Good place for those have OOTD for beer.

  • 5/5 jeyan s. 3 years ago on Google
    Lots of space Fresh beers, happy hours till 6pm Fresh K1664 But I personally will vouch for the Tom Yam seafood. The aroma,scent,taste,flavour,spice really hit the notes

  • 4/5 Ming Wei Y. 3 years ago on Google
    Love the place. Has always been one of my fav hangout. With live band will always get a 5 star. Waiter I know is nice n helpful. Beer is chill. Nice place. Covid go away n singing comes alive again.

  • 4/5 Malaa C. 3 years ago on Google
    Food was good, ambience is great. Perfect spot to hangout and chill as well. The 1st waiter who assisted us was quite rude however Amin came to rescue. His hospitality was great.

  • 5/5 Alvin C. 3 years ago on Google
    Great place at their new location with lots of space and less mosquitoes than before. Food was affordable and tasted great. We had their sweet potato fries, pizza and salmon steak. Its got a great ambience and really good for a large group or family. Beer is decently priced too for happy hour. Only downside is you do have to pay for parking. Definitely would return.

  • 4/5 tan s. 3 years ago on Google
    First time visitors will have difficulty finding this place as it is at the back of an industrial lot. But once inside you will find it's quite a comfortable place with wooden tables snd chairs/stools. Quite a list of beers and liquors, with offers of a package of 10 beers/stout of your choice from their list of 4. Food is more of the snacks and finger food variety but are all freshly cooked and teams up nicely with the beers and stout, served in ice cold chilled mugs. Nice place to chill out after a hard day's work

  • 5/5 Teebhan Chanthira S. 3 years ago on Google
    Nice to chill out and quite pricey on the drinks. Food is good. Much like single based race place. Parking is expensive though.

  • 5/5 Andrew Tan S E. 3 years ago on Google
    First time there for a meet up with ex-colleague. Not visible from outside. Didn't know it was behind the engineering firm. Perhaps having a signboard outside would help, of course subject to permission form the premise owner. Ambience is nice, spacious and dynamically lit depending on where you want to be seat - there are brightly lit area and a dim lighting area. I tried the beef burger set and it is delicious. Toilet is clean. Good place for get together while observing physical distancing between tables.

  • 4/5 Max T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The environment is good, the beer happy hour before 6pm, a cup only costs 8 yuan, but the beer is actually packed in plastic cups, which reduces the style. (Original) 環境不錯,6pm前啤酒happy hour,一杯只需要8塊,但居然用塑料杯裝啤酒,降低了格調。

  • 2/5 Siegfried Shaun Dela Pena T. 3 years ago on Google
    I'm only giving 2 stars because the food was worth the visit. The drinks is HORRIBLE...I mean, apart from a few cheap beer brands which come by the glass / bottle, the other alcoholic beverages are only available by the bottle. Like why??? The only whiskey offered on shots was Jameson. The only Gin served by the glass is Gordon (which they mixed so horribly). I'd never recommend this place for drinks. Not in a million years.
