Many clubs enforce a dress code, so it's wise to check beforehand. Opt for smart casual attire; avoid rugged or torn jeans, sandals, slippers, or shorts, as these may prevent entry. The typical clubbing attire in Kuala Lumpur includes t-shirts, long sleeves, jeans, short skirts, and high heels. If you plan to dance, opt for comfortable yet stylish outfits.
Cover Charge
Be prepared for a cover charge at most clubs, especially on weekends or for special events. Prices can vary, so it's advisable to inquire or check online before arriving.
What’s the cover charge. It depends on the club itself as different clubs’ cover charges ranged from as low as RM25 to RM50 which normally includes 1 free drink for you to choose from. Most clubs in Kuala Lumpur charge an entry fee, especially on the weekends, but some clubs are free on the weekdays. You can as well open bottles of liquor beverages, and a minimum of 1 bottle can let 4-5(depends) of your friends enter the club without a cover charge. If you paid for an open bottle, some clubs have promoters or ambassadors, who will guide you in the club, trying to look for a place or table for you.
Smoking Area
You can smoke in most of the clubs in Malaysia as the non-smoking trend is still yet to come. The non-smoking venue in Malaysia was first introduced at the Ministry of Sound by Euphoria with a special smoking room for smokers. Most of the time you will have to end up going home with your clothes with the smell of cigarette smoke.
Clubs Open Till… Most of the clubs in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia open till 3 am. There’s a curfew in some PJ areas the entertainment outlets like clubs, pubs and bars are only able to operate till 2 am at the latest. Keep in mind that clubs, bars and lounges are located near residential areas, under one roof with hotels usually closed at 2 am or earlier. So do check out with the clubs or venues about their operating hours.
Don’t Drink and Drive
Don’t drive a car when you’re drunk. Never drive a car based on your intuition – ‘Okay, I’m not drunk, I can handle it if you drink a lot. You might feel uncomfortable, start to puke and blackout anytime (pengsan). Drink driving is dangerous and pose danger to other drivers around you and risks your life too. Always beware of roadblocks, or else you’ll end up in trouble with the authorities.
If you can’t drive back home, why not hang out at some food stall, eat and drink something light until you recover from the hangover. Read Where To Go After Clubbing for more info.
