Heading towards Solaris or Publika? You’ll want to make a pit stop at any of these fine establishments to grab a frosty brew or creative cocktail while you’re there. There’s also plenty of mouth-watering fare available at each spot for a well-rounded experience.
Tap It Out
Malaysia’s first self-service beer bar lets punters pull their own pints from tap points all around the bar. It’s a cashless system, so all you need to do is grab a reloadable ‘ATM’ beer card, choose your preferred brew, slot your card in the terminal and pour away. You can pour as much or as little as you want, and you’ll only be charged for the specific amount. Choose from Carlsberg, Hoegaarden, Connors, Löwenbräu, Asahi, Erdinger, Leffe, Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc and Stella Artois. Meanwhile, you can battle it out with friends on the electronic beer pong tables – the age-old game brought right into the 21st century. Tap It Out WHERE K-01-05, Soho KL, No 2 Jalan Solaris, Kuala Lumpur WHEN 4pm-2am TEL 016 879 8079 facebook.com/tapitoutmsia
