The most vibrant clubs are located along Jalan P. Ramlee - a fusion of bars, disco, life music hall with plenty of girls. Located very near to KLCC this nightlife zone caters almost entirely to tourists with the exception of a few joints that are popular with the local Chinese crowd.
All this places have an entrance fee or cover charge after 9 pm, which is also good for a small bottle of beer and actually pays itself for the great atmosphere.

The girls come in from all over Asia and since around two years more women from Africa have come as well.
They mainly hang around along the Beach Club and the opposite Thai Club. With venues in 53 countries, this well-known place needs no introduction.
The wide choice of Western food here is enticing. The Black Pepper Steak is one of the favourites and it goes really well with the stuffed potato skins. Here, you can easily mingle with lively and cool people, meet other travellers and even a few expats. The place can get very crowded after 10pm more so on weekends. A Sleazy club with style is how some would describe this joint. So this is where most locals with girlfriends or wives usually hang out, when they go there.
They can be pretty aggressive at times. Just walk a little further across the road to the taxi stand in front of the Shang Ri La Hotel and hail a moving taxi, as these taxi's usually use the meter.

Thai Club Apparently popular with the working class Chinese crowd, the place starts to fill in at 10pm. The place has its working gals mostly from China, Vietnam and Filipinos.
