It is like Halloween every night at these places.
If you like a good scare that will make your night just a little bit more interesting, you’re in luck. Malaysians are no stranger to the supernatural world – in fact, some of us embrace it.
These establishments in KL truly take all that is deathly and ghostly into account, turning our superstitions into a nightly adventure for their patrons. Here are 3 horror themed places that you will definitely want to check out soon.

If you haven’t been to this acclaimed speakeasy, then you are behind the crowds! Housed in an old Chinese drugstore, The Deceased has quickly become infamous among serious bar-hoppers as it is the first hell-theme bar in Malaysia.

Once you’ve gotten past the easily-missed blue door, the dark and eerie stairway is infested with creepy looking dolls and props, including a macabre-looking mannequin behind the door and bloodstains on the walls.

The drinks here aren’t your typical bar beverages – don’t expect to see a Long Island Iced Tea on the list. The concoctions are inspired by Chinese and Malay superstitions, spiritual beliefs and mythologies. If you’re into drinking out of a spooky baby doll’s umbilical cord, hit a voodoo doll (your enemy) with a clog or the chopped bloody hand that comes along with your booze, then this is definitely the place for you!
Price range: Cocktails from RM 39 onwards
Address: 55, Jalan Sultan, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur
Opening hours: Monday – Sunday, 6.30pm – 2.00am

The entrance to this speakeasy is hidden in an alley, away from prying eyes. If you don’t know what you are searching for, you will never find it.

The interior is less spooky hideout, but more of a members-only premium lounge with skull decors. Skulls line the walls and bar, but not in an eerie sort of way. The sophisticated chic of this bar makes you believe that the afterlife could be just as lavish as this. The music was amazingly good – nothing too loud that you can’t hear each other.

Skullduggery’s exquisite appeal also intertwines into its drinks. Here, classics are enhanced with premium crafts and spirits, obtained from small batch distillers. Sample the tastes of jackfruit-infused rum and truffle-infused vodka as testaments to how good this place can get. If Dead Poets Society was what you were looking for a watering hole, the dimly-lit speakeasy would be it.
Price range: Cocktails from RM 45 onwards
Address: 2M Plaza Damansara, Jalan Medan Setia 2, Bukit Damansara, 50490, Kuala Lumpur
Opening hours: Tuesday – Thursday, 6.00pm – 3.00am; Friday – Sunday, 7.00pm – 3.00am; Closed on Mondays & Sundays
