DRUNK MONKEY

Neighborhood bar

It's one of the center's few haunts for young people and expats looking for a festive evening out. This lively bar, with its funky decor, is the ideal place to relax and meet new people. The drinks menu offers a wide selection of creative cocktails, international beers and quality spirits. Themed evenings, live concerts and DJ sets are regularly organized. The tree-lined terrace in the adjacent alleyway, with its lanterns, is very pleasant at dusk.

RUMAH KOPI

Coffee shop and tea room

Here's a little café ideally located on pretty Jalan Padungan, frequented by Kuching's youth. It's a great place to share a coffee, but also for breakfast or lunch in the local style - the menu isn't long, but the classics have been mastered. The decor is uncluttered and cosy, the staff young and friendly, and the value for money unquestionably good. We recommend their delicious nasi lemak. And for those with a sweet tooth, try the gula apong palm sugar ice cream, a Sarawak specialty.

21 BISTRO

Lounge bar

This bar-restaurant, popular with locals and tourists alike, is a great place to enjoy a drink in a festive atmosphere. Those who prefer a quiet chat can sit out on the terrace. In the evenings, local bands play live music. The line-up tends to be rock, with covers of international classics mixed in with personal compositions for the more creative. Large selection of draught beers. On the other hand, it's best to skip the food menu.
