Zouk

Ignored

Huge club with great music and a vibrant crowd. There’s not much else I can expand on that for numerous alcohol based reasons.
One caveat though is that you can smoke inside… Which can be good… Or not so good.

First Unilocal review in Malaysia! (Welcome :D I’m going to have to brush up on my bahasa so I can do a review in Malay.)
Anyways, Zouk used to be a regular hangout back in the days when I was expatting in Malaysia (and probably one of the best nightclubs in Malaysia).
Theres different sections of the nightclub and a good mix of locals and internationals.
This is the same nightclub as in the one in Singapore (except I haven’t had a chance to make it out to Singapore yet)

I got to be honest, I don’t actually visit clubs that often (probably once a year? I admit I’m lame…), and due to the fact I don’t actually have a lot of experience regarding the clubbing scene in Malaysia. However, during most of my visits to clubs are actually with Zouk KL. I got to admit Zouk is a pretty happening place to be during weekends (Wednesday night to Saturday night). I supposed it’s pretty obvious as they are probably one of the largest clubs in Malaysia and one of the most tastefully done up clubs in Kuala Lumpur.
This place can be really packed almost all the time and it pays if you’re one of their VIP patrons (If you’re a big spender on booze of course!), you practically get by-​past all the unnecessary queue and go straight in to Party! As for me, I am definitely one of those that are queuing patiently to get in. Usually me and my friends will share a few bottles of liquor just to have our entrance fees waived.
Nonetheless if you’re looking for a place to have a great time or just wanted to dance the night away, Zouk Kuala Lumpur is definitely THE place to be!

One of the best night clubs in town.
Zouk has been around for 11 years and boasts 7 different rooms, making it one of the oldest and biggest clubs in KL.
The club is busy almost every night of the week except Sunday, Monday & Tuesdays.
It’s always a good time at Zouk, there are so many rooms to choose from. The club is always packed with both locals and internationals.
Zouk is one of the few entertainment outlets endorsed by the local tourism ministry. Also, they enjoy extended opening hours as a perk of the endorsement. Most clubs close at 3.00am, but Zouk closes at 5.00am. Many frequent Zouk for a second round of drinks after the other clubs close.
Zouk is always a safe bet as it’s always a good time.
Parking in the area is abit expensive but just a stone’s throw away from the club. I wouldn’t recommend parking by the road side and allowing touts to charge for such parking.
Also, be wary of the dodgy cabbies infront of the club that charge absorbent amounts for their service. I’d definitely go with requesting a cab using myTeksi or just hitch a ride with Über to avoid these dodgy people.

I am voting for this club over other clubs in KL. I think they have the best dancing crowd compared to other clubs.
The premise is spacious and they are divided into a couple of segments. Best part is that each segment is with a different genre of music and you can choose to go to the room you prefer :)
I like that they always have international DJs being brought in the house and once in a while they also have special events for occasions. This really ensured the crowd to come here every weekend.
Best nights for me are Fridays because majority of the people are more young and fun. Saturday nights will be filled with more matured audiences.
One thing to be cautious of will be your purse/​wallet/​handphone. I’ve heard of many cases of phone gone missing, which happens to be my very own experience as well. My phone was tucked in my purse and when I leave the place the phone is miraculously gone and my bag was then looking normal with it’s latched closed. They are really skilful bunch of people.
Best advice? Just bring your ID and some cash. Leave your phone at home.

Zouk is one of the more well known clubs in KL. With good reason too. Located at the very heart of the city, you can drive in the direction of KLCC and eventually find it on Jalan Ampang. I feel parking here is what you make of it; either you pay and park in the many carpark lots in the area or you test your luck and get a parking at the roadside. I personally prefer paying. It is actually not so bad if you’re carpooling and sharing the parking fee.
The typical cover charge is RM38. Although, there are always promotions going on so you might be better off checking it first. Weekends are crowded as usual and the crowd are mostly youngster and adults below 30 with music geared to that age group as well. What I like about Zouk is that they have different rooms playing different music. You are able to get a taste of different vibes and see which is too your liking.
As for the drinks served, way overpriced in my opinion but you will fork out the money anyway. They do have a wide selection though.
Smoking indoors is allowed so by the end of the night you’ll end up smelling of sweat and smoke. Attractive.

I’ve always been a regular at Zouk KL due to its many events being hosted such as Kaskade, Will Sparks and many more international djs. There are four rooms in Zouk, the mainroom, Velvet Underground, Aristo Bar and Phuture. My personal favorite room is Velvet, it stays open till 5am and the di residents that play there every Friday and Saturdays are awesome. They even play Wednesday nights for this event called Mambo Jambo. International djs would usually play in the main room.
The bar is equipped with the usual orders of drinks with pretty decent pricing. It’s pretty hard to get table service on the weekends because they would usually be fully booked so don’t forget to call ahead if you’re planning to pay Zouk a visit on the weekends!

KL’s mega club is the longest running in town, 11 years to be exact. The club has seen and experienced KL’s best and worst nightlife days.
These days, young’uns spend their Saturday night at mainroom with uprising DJ duos, BATE playing big room house music. Aristo, one of the rooms, is the only place in KL where you can party (legally) until 5am. It is now the unofficial supper club in town.
Words on the street are after 11 years, Zouk is relocating to a new place. And we couldnt think of a better time. Afterall, the club is looking and feeling a little jaded despite the crowd keeps getting younger.

This club is one of the biggest one’s in Kuala Lumpur. There’s always a massive crowd of people. Special thing about this club is that tourists can get in for free and the residents have to pay 40rm for the entry, just make sure you have your ID with you and that you stand in tourists line.
If you pay cover charge you get a free drink. The cool thing is that this club has many rooms with different music and you can always find a room with the music that you like. Most of the time the crowd is local and the music is really good. A lot of famous DJ’s from around the world come to play there.
They also have a ladies night on wednesdays, where girls can enter the club free of charge. I definitely recommend this club for anyone who loves to dance!
