Top range of international restaraunts and bars, great Irish Bar here, friendly staff. Choice of night clubs, go early if you want a quiet night as it gets very busy and noisy late!

Highly overated and costly. You're better off going to a proper Restoran than JA. Try somewhere else as this is now a tourist trap.

A quick fix if you are looking for street food. Some good choices are the grilled stingray and the chicken wings, along with the usual Malaysian noodles, curries and so on. Look for the stalls at the end of the street, order a couple of dishes, with one of those large Tiger beer botttles. Then head on down to Changkat... More

Lively interactive people having good food and a great night out. Rain or not this is worth a visit and the food variety is amazing. Everything we ate was great

Rows of mostly Chinese restaurants serving seafood so take your pick. Fresh and reasonably priced and great for big groups.

Having been to Singapore and experienced the great hawkers and street food there I was expecting something similar in Jalan Alor. I was hugely disappointed. To get to the area you have to walk through some of the dodgiest parts of town, then the street itself is so smelly and dirty! I'm not sure if we got there too early... More

Want there expecting yummy street food! Found a dirty, stinky crowded street littered with people using to hock their cheap stuff. Only. Handful of halal stalls and the smell of the street was just so off putting, I was glad to get out of there. Local vendors set up their stalls all over this city, I've had lovely stuff on... More

This street is alive at night. Plenty of Chinese food to choose from along the street. Great place to hang out with friends at night time to past midnight (maybe after partying you need a coconut juice!)
