One of the best places to end an evening would have to
be the Heli Lounge Bar in the heart of KL. How heart are we talking?
You can see both KL Tower and KLCC from the bar so this is right at the very
heart of the city. The attraction though is not so much the view but from where
you can enjoy the view. There are only 5 helicopter pads in the city and one of
the working ones is open for business and for the public’s enjoyment after
hours. That is what Heli Lounge Bar is all about. Think being able to witness
360-degree view of one of the most happening cities in Southeast Asia, with the last
rays of the sun hitting your face and lighting up your pictures, and the
glittering metropolitan lights that comes out when it's dark. Such views would make one
think of how much bigger the world seems to be and for that reason views like
this would always attract people. Plus the idea of being on a no-border helipad is just too cool and daredevil-ish to pass up.
That
is the story upstairs. Heli Lounge Bar actually has two sections, with the
lower floor being a lounge tastefully decorated according to the aviation
theme. The section upstairs on the 36th floor is closed off after a
few hours and the party now moves downstairs to the 34th floor. Once
you enter the lounge, be prepared to see parts and pieces (the smaller ones)
from an airplane laid out all over the place. Propellers, turbines, cabin
seats, you name it, it’s there. The party people can enjoy their range of drinks,
from spirits to beers and cocktails, by city standard it is not overly
expensive and you get to bask in the ‘flying’ theme. They also have
non-alcoholic drinks for those non-drinkers as well as some food choices to
keep your stomach full and happy.
