- gazmol prl3 contributionsThe vista is amazing!Everything is spoken when you go into the pub and Petronas is standing in front of you. Skybar was a must during our five days at the Tradders Hotel. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a drink at night, and the service is passable.Visited September 2023Traveled with friendsWritten October 27, 2023
- gringottsgoblin558 contributionsFabulous Views, great vibe but quite noisyMake sure you book ahead and request a window seat. That way you are ensured the most fantastic views of the Petronas Towers. Also it’s better at night. Sitting in the window has only a couple of downsides. Don’t get drunk or you may fall in the pool and to get into the window seats you have to sort of clamber over them and once in you are faced with an awkward clambering out exit so you will want to stay put. That’s aside the food was pretty good and quite reasonable price wise (though considered at the at the top end in KL) . The drinks while pricey were okay and reasonably generous but booze is quite expensive in KL especially in glitzy places. All in all it’s well worth a visit and even though it’s a bit noisy it’s fun and an experience. One thing though the service can be a bit chaotic and you can get wrong orders (btw you order via a QR code menu thing). I mention this because we got stuff we didn’t want and they kept it on the bill. Of course I didn’t pay for that once I copped it. I don’t think there’s any malicious intent just disorder so just check the bill before paying. All in all I enjoyed it and I would definitely go backVisited October 2023Traveled with friendsWritten November 24, 2023
- terri_ann87Rotherham, United Kingdom200 contributionsStunning viewWe reserved a table here with views of the Petronas towers, and it did not disappoint. There are a good choice of drinks at reasonable prices. Easy to order via a QR code and delivered straight to your table. Food was standard, nothing amazing but I had already looked at the menu so knew it was bar snack type food. We were planning to stay for a second drink however a loud DJ set started about 9.15pm which changed the ambience for us. If you like loud dance/R&B then I'm sure it would be a great atmosphere. Overall we came for the view and that was enjoyable. The prices were reasonable and not extortionately inflated due to the view. Definitely somewhere I would recommend to see the view but not necessarily for the food.Visited February 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten February 1, 2024

- SidneemanSydney, Australia362 contributionsGood View of Petronas Towers not muchmoreNot all round vista as blocked by many taller buildings but view of Petronas Twin Towers is very good. I see little else of any appeal at this Bar. Happy that I have experienced this visit but very unlikely to return. Cannot readily recommend but if you are nearby or simply in need of distraction to make your outing work then you could consider.Visited July 2024Traveled on businessWritten July 28, 2024
- YuppieLionheartPhilippines674 contributionsFantastic spot to view the city skyline and stunning panoramic view of the Petronas TowerA glamorous cocktail bar with a fantastic spot to view the city skyline and stunning panoramic view of the Petronas Tower. I love their menu, you will just scan to order and you are able to see your running bill which will allow you to see if you're still on the budget. The staff were really accommodating and the place is really cozy. I highly recommend this place for those who wants to enjoy the city view of Kuala Lumpur. Over all experience was satisfying. Unfortunately, my points was not credited due to the reason that I was not able to provide my member ID upon payment. I thought that it will be automatically credited since I booked the reservation through the app.Visited March 2024Traveled with friendsWritten August 19, 2024

Whilst the view of the Petronas Towers are admittedly stunning, and the atmosphere is quite fun, I have to say that the drinks here are AWFUL.
When you’re paying fairly high prices for a drink, you want it to at least taste alcoholic. I started with a double G&T that barely tasted of gin, so for my second drink I went for one of their cocktails.
Again, it barely tasted like it had any alcohol in at all. Their measures must be criminally small. A total rip off.
So, maybe swing by to see the view, and grab a quick dink. But don’t plan on spending the night there. Bail quickly and find yourself a proper bar.

We had booked a table for 4 adults for dinner at FUZE. However, when we went for dinner the seating arrangements were a bit weird. Some of the table settings were suitable for dinner while others were very low and tiny and not even big enough for 2 adults to enjoy dinner. This should have been explained when we were making the booking. We had a couple of dishes which were exquisite. The Indonesian soft shell crab was amazing and the burger was good with the rendang sauce. Others we had like the Pizza was meh and so was the pasta. We actually booked Fuze because the menu looked tempting and were expecting a little better service as well for the prices we paid. Overall just barely over average. The Hostess needs better training because she was sounded scared of me over the phone when I had questions for her.

The view is spectacular but that's where the positive comments end. We booked a month in advance requesting to be seated on a window with a view of the Petronas Towers. When we got there, we waited for over 5 minutes at the 'please wait to be seated' sign but no one approached us. We then approached the nearest staff member, who happened to be a life guard (because the bar has a pool for hotel guests in the middle of it). He directed us to a waitress who was very rude and just pointed to a table at the back of the bar. She didn't care that we had a reservation - she didn't even look our reservation up! After 25 minutes no one had come to take our order, so we approached a staff member and asked to move tables to a window and if we could order. Thankfully we were able to move to a window. When the food eventually came out, it was pretty average, as were the cocktails.
I was looking forward to Skybar for our entire 3 week holiday and it was an enormous disappointment.

My friends and I showed up at around 11.35pm to celebrate a friend’s birthday. We wanted the seats by the window for photo of the birthday girl. Firstly was rejected as we were not hotel guests and the min spend is RM800. After we decide to order a tower & my friend asked again and they said that min spend is RM500. My friend then said that we saw an online review that they did not spend RM500 and get to sit by the window. The TM said to find the comment and show. We did and they said oh that’s before and for today we need to give the min spend. I then asked for the Manager as they were closing at 1am and it’s a weekday, the seats will not be full. Of course they would say that there’s no Manager and the Team Leader came. I admit I was quite angry and my tone was bad but after telling the team leader the situation, no apologies and only said that to compromise we can take the window seats but just order a snack or two. As it’s my friend’s birthday and she really wanted the window seat so I did not argue and accepted. Why is it that they must wait for complain to happen then they will give in? It’s close to midnight and the bar is closing in 1 hour, isn’t it common sense or basic guest service to compromise? Though attitude was ok, but after my long outburst I was only responded with 3 lines and no apology. This is just a one off and will never return again but I guess this place does not require my patronage anyways

Staff were very kind, view is great.
We visited during ‘happy hour’ and ordered 2 beers. The happy hour discount takes a beer from 30 ringgit down to 28 ringgit.. the deal is only advertised as ‘happy hour’ and doesn’t actually state what makes it so happy - apparently nothing.

Was totally disappointed when we stepped in. We were glad that we were dressed up more casually than smart, as the place was just next to a pool area! Later a couple walked in, the lady was dressed up so formally and we felt so sorry for them!
We were not ushered in but were just told by the female receptionist to just take any seats by the window along the pool, very poor service.
The male server who served us was very attentive and friendly though, and he gave us some recommendations on what to order.
Food was mediocre. If it wasn’t for the spectacular view, I would have given a poorer rating.

A good place to see the city at night. We made a reservation but were not told there was a minimum spend which was very disappointing when we arrived as we got terrible seats. For the quality of drinks and food - very overpriced. Staff were not helpful nor polite.

If we came for an early dinner say 5pm because we have children and wanted a window table is their an additional charge?
Thank you
Written May 6, 2020
Hi there, I am sorry but we only went there for evening drinks - all I can say is there is a minimum spend to get a window seat - but I’m sure if you book and arrive early that would be ok - maybe pre-book to avoid disappointment
Have fun and stay safe
