Nagaba

Nagabar has it all, under and over one roof.
I recently made my first trip to Changkat, Bukit bintang and my friends decided to meet at Nagabar.
When we arrived we entered the bar on the ground floor and hung out for abit over a few pints. The bar on the ground floor was a-​bit more laid back was decorated with a more hipster-​feel to it.
After that, we headed up to the roof-​top bar for some of their famous mojitos. The rooftop was decorated with coloured lights and was more lively. There was a good mix of locals and internationals. Somewhere along the night, a pub crawl came along.
We then proceeded to the middle floor, it was a nightclub playing hiphop. The vibe was completely different from the other two floors and was definitely more crowded. People continued to pour in even at 1.00am.
Overall Nagabar is definitely one of the more happening venues along Changkat which I’ll visit again soon.

The graffiti murals of famous celebrities such as Audrey Hepburn & Amy Whitehouse would definitely grab your attention as you walk or drive pass this place. This old school building houses Nagabar. This lovely restaurant cum bar is segregated into 3 different floors. The ground floor is a more casual setting where you can have a few drinks over dinner; the first floor however is a little more upbeat with a dance floor & classy decorative furniture. Finally it’s the rooftop bar on the 2^nd floor which allows you to overlook the whole party street.
Personally I fell that the rooftop bar is an awesome place to have some casual weekend drinks and a place you’d want to go if you’re not planning to have a real heavy night. The drinks here are pretty simple & standard as it’s not much of a cocktail bar, so I went with a gin tonic. As for food, you can look from some fusion infused food with a modern touch to it.
Pretty often than not, Nagabar showcases a few good dj’s from different scenes & this definitely is a crowd puller. So if you’re looking for something different to do on the weekend then head on down here.

If you are at lest a little into nightlife and partying, you must know this place!
This is where the expats and locals mingle on Friday’s and Saturdays!
It is one of the few disco bars in changkat where you can hear some real good music and shake your booty ;D
I always have a blast with my girlfriends here! Such a good atmosphere. The vibe is perfect for that splendid weekend mood. :)
I highly recommend this bar for anyone who is looking for a fun night out!
Enjoy the good beats here ! :)

I been to the first and second floor of the place. The event I went to was when this international DJ came by called Jacques Greene. It was pretty sick. The place was filled with trendy and up and coming local djs. I had a great time. Drinks are pretty pricey such as the rm25 bottles beers but it’s a nice place to enjoy good music.
You can get bottles that would get you a table for you and your peeps. The second floor is darker, more rnb music. The crowd can get pretty hectic on Saturday nights.
The overall experience I had with the place was pretty chill, nothing much to complain about. You probably just have to walk a little bit when the valet service is full.

This is one place worth going to if you are around Changkat.
Nagaba, like Pisco and other bars in the area, it has different ambiance for different tastes. Downstairs is a bit more quiet. You can sit down and enjoy drinks with friends and have a conversation, since the music isn’t that loud. In the middle floor is the club, which tends to get crowded during the weekends. I personally don’t like it that much, since it doesn’t allow you to talk and interact with people that much. The rooftop is my favorite part, since it is out in the open and offers the possibility to have a big table of friends at a really nice environment.
The prices are reasonably cheap compared to other bars in the area, which makes it a good destination if you are on a budget.
I’ve been there several times and I definitely recommend stopping by for a drink!

Nagaba is one of my favorite places in this area and is yet another example of places on Jalan Mesui that offer a little more class and a little less crazy than around the corner on Changkat Bukit Bintang.
The best thing about this place is that there are different levels and each level is a different concept. The ground floor is a standard bar/​hang-​out kind of place. The music is good, sometimes live, but never super loud and you can sit down and talk with friends. The second level is a hip-​hop club. They have electronic music here sometimes also but on the weekends you can definitely expect the music to be loud and people dancing. With the cover charge, this level is not usually my style. It just is too loud and I can’t talk with my friends so I much prefer the rooftop.
The rooftop at Nagaba is why I love it. They have created such a chill vibe up on the roof that keeps me coming back. I also like how it stays open a little bit later than other places, so often we will end up here after dinner or after drinks elsewhere. Try their Long Island iced tea and share it with a friend. It’s really big and comes with a couple straws that is a fun drink to get the party going. Watch out! They are strong but that’s why I don’t mind the RM50 price tag.

Located just off the main tourist strip of Changkat Bukit Bintang, the hip joint boasts 3 floors of a whole lot of F-​U-​N!
The ground floor is more relaxed, the music isn’t so load and you could still hold conversations with friends without having to say «huh, what did u just say?!» The 1^st floor is where the party is at, banging music, funny & ridiculous dance moves, djs doing their thing and whatever else it is that everyone does at club! The third floor is a mixture of both floors! You can still have conversations with friends (no dj, just music from the second floor playing through their speakers) but it also gets pretty wild up there too. Maybe it has got to do with the view and being 3 floors high!
During weekends Nagaba plays a series of different music genre to suit the masses. On Friday nights a group of local DJ’s (House Department Kuala Lumpur) puts together a night of pure underground techno– a must go for techno lovers!
Now comes Saturday nights, my favorite night of the week! If you are a fan of R&B and Hip Hop this is the place to go. With Dj Naskimo on the decks, he starts off by playing music from the late 90’s (heeyy hoo) and it sails its way through the current stuff, which i think is pretty cool. Anything that has a little old school is cool, dont you think so?!
A great place to unwind with friends after a week of hectic ness. They serve food too and their menu is pretty decent.
Their drinks are very reasonably priced too. My friends and i would usually enjoy the Long Island Iced Tea for only Rm 35 for a pitcher. A great deal i’d say.
So if you are looking for a place to dine, drink or to let loose this is the place to be.

Nagaba is probably the 2^nd home of Hiphop hehe! According to me that is. If you want Hip Hop 2 days in a row, you will have to go to LUST on Fridays and Nagaba on Saturday’s.
This place is at the intersection of Jalan Mesui and Jalan Nagasari, right opposite a club called LUST. I like this place because it is unique! It has 3 floors. First floor is a bar area with a restaurant which serves amazing pizza’s. 2^nd floor is the club with a smaller room area and the 3^rd floor is an open rooftop area too with pretty deco’s and light bulbs running across the top so when you look up, it’s like a floral space dream (that’s how I’d describe it!)

With its exterior walls bedecked with graffiti style murals of famous (and mostly deceased) celebrities such as Jim Morrison, Amy Winehouse and other pop culture icons, Nagaba is difficult to miss and even more difficult to walk away from. One of the newer establishments to tempt KL’s nightlife crowd, it is the more sprightly neighbor to PiscoBar and sits on a street that makes bar hopping a dream. Divided into three sections, patrons don’t have to venture far to indulge in a change of atmosphere. Chill out and people watch in the open air rooftop bar or get your dance on to the dj set. All in all, I would say that Nagaba is a pretty stylish joint that attracts a diverse crowd of people. It works for the party-​hungry crowd looking to dance the night away complete with cocktail in hand but it also suits those who are looking to relax and engage in a spot of conversation with friends, old and new

A friend of my sisters decided to have her wedding after party at Nagaba and seeing as to how I was conveniently in the area with a friend of mine, I decided to crash the party and finally get to check the place out since I’ve heard so many great things about it.
It was a Saturday night and I have one word for you, CROWDED! It was extremely packed with youngsters, hardly a place to stand let alone sit. We were fortunate enough to be seated at a table with a sofa and even then I felt suffocated, I’m not sure if its all the cigarette smoke or the fact that age is finally catching up to me and I was officially done with clubbing but there I was, gasping for air. Didn’t even have the time to really notice anything regarding the interior of the space not to mention the impossible feat of trying to flag down a waiter.
The place was a blur of dancing figures and smiling faces, everyone was having fun and I could imagine me being one of those smiling faces if I was younger, maybe.
So me and my friend shouted our congratulations and well wishes to the blushing bride and handsome groom and headed to the bar downstairs where we had a couple of reasonably priced pints and headed home.
I promise to come again when the place isn’t so packed and really check it out, prolly on a Tuesday night or something, till then… RIP to my wild clubbing days. It was fun while it lasted.

Nagaba Bar provides a mix of romantic and charming drinking experience. It has three floors, each with unique settings. On the first floor, they provide live sets on Saturdays of local well-​known DJ’s that will blast the speakers and vibrate your body into a groove. I’ve been to quite a few of those gigs and none of them have failed to provide me with the rhythmic music I eagerly crave for at the end of a long week.
The cover charge may be steeper than the usual, but you’re paying for drinks and a euphoric experience and it’s absolutely worth the price. On weekends it does get really cramped and rowdy. But it gives you that raving ambience that you would have to head to a festival or concert for. So why not?
Perhaps the most exciting thing about this bar is the rooftop. The open-​air top floor gives you a slight view of the city but the ambience, is just wonderful. I’ve always enjoyed open-​air bars and Nagaba has one that is decorated so pleasantly. If you wish to have a simple nice meal with your friends or family, the ground floor is where you can do that. It’s a unique bar that provides excellent all rounded food and service.
All in all, the usual gigs that they have here can be summed up as ‘pumping!’ The food they serve are up to par and the music doesn’t dampen your weekend spirits. Although pricey, it’s definitely a night out that wouldn’t disappoint. It’s a hotspot that you should definitely check out if you’re in town.
