JOLOKO KL BAR & RESTAURANT

Joloko sits along Jalan Kamunting, right next to the imposing Hotel Stripes. Housed in a two-storey pre-war building, the yellow facade with its leafy entrance is unmissable. Pre-pandemic days, you would have seen the outdoors bustling with patrons gathering around the communal table, sipping on cocktails and soaking in the tropical vibes of the resto-bar. 

Head inside and a full-fledged open bar greets you, bathed in terracotta colours, raw walls, and Mexican-inspired murals by local tattoo artist Apoh. Bottles of mezcal and tequila are on display, and you can choose to sit by the bar or at a regular table. But walk in just a bit more, and you’ll be greeted with a gorgeous courtyard bathed in natural light — the perfect setting to have your meal with. Much of the building’s original structure remains, from its long design to the skylight and courtyard area. There’s an upstairs seating area too.

When trying to navigate the menu at Joloko, think of your meal as a stage play comprising several acts — your appetisers, mains, and dessert. 

Why? Because sharing is caring, the dishes here are designed to be shared with your companions. All the better, i say. 

How else are you going to be able to try more items off the menu? 

Drinks? Tequila and mezcal are the stars in this bar.
