Imagine sipping cocktails on a helipad with 360° views of KL’s iconic skyline while watching the sunset? Helicopter pad turned Heli lounge bar in KL is one to add you your experience in Malaysia’s Kuala Lumpur. This helipad by day and heli lounge bar by night is a must-experience! Where in the world can you land a chopper on a helipad, only to have that same helipad turn into a helipad lounge bar after dark? Only in Kuala Lumpur!
The Heli Lounge Bar is quite literally a breath of fresh air. One of 5 helipads in the city but what makes this one special is that you can stand on it and sip cocktails as the sun sets into the horizon. After much exploring of Kuala Lumpur, I was not to leave without checking this place out.
Before you get too excited and rush to the stairs leading to the helipad on the 36th floor, you will have to buy a drink in the bar before being shown up to the roof. The Heli Lounge Bar sits on the on the 34th floor and comes complete with an aeronautical theme to the decor. You have panels from Boeing 737 and 747 turned into sitting booth and DJ console.
The best views in the city! You have 360 degrees of uninterrupted vies of the city of Kuala Lumpur.
The Heli Pad is 2 flights of stairs, also note that other than the light barriers around the helipad, you are basically on the roof of a building with no safety net. There is security on deck to ensure no one gets too close to the edge.
The drinks are surprisingly not expensive either, around $10 a pop and for that you are rewarded with a mind-blowing view of Kuala Lumpur with the famous Petronas Twin Towers staring back at you. The views and atmosphere were great when we visited but from what I had heard it gets super busy on the weekends.
I can’t recall if we visited on the weekend or not. Another note for all working as flight crew, oil and gas crew and banking professional get discounts on particular nights. They also have a ladies night, where the ladies get a drink for RM15.
Getting there: It’s fairly easy to get to and find. Although the building not so obvious. The is a monorail stop just outside but local taxi and uber are plenty.
Heli lounge bar opening hours: Monday to Wednesday 6pm – midnight, until 2am on Thursdays and Friday- Saturdays until 3am. On, 34th Floor, Menara HK, Jalan Sultan Ismail, KL
Inside The Heli Lounge Bar – You are seated here until you purchase a drink. You are then shown up to the Heli Pad shortly after paying for your first drink.
