Step beneath Chinatown’s bustle into the former bank vault that is Lavantha, where mixologist Jon Lee invites you to sip “cocktails as poetry.” Expect beautifully balanced signature drinks—Lavantha, Michelada, Siccamore, Plakus Nectar—organized into thoughtful categories and served in sophisticated art-space surroundings. With glowing gold accents, moody lighting, a secret Conservatory lounge, and decked-out highballs and sours, this is ideal for late-night cocktails, stylish after-work drinks, or quiet conversation in Kuala Lumpur. Lavantha KL bar feels luxe, intelligent, and deeply atmospheric.
Serving craft cocktails in Chinatown, Lavantha is Jon Lee’s immersive lounge bar located in a repurposed bank vault within Moxy Kuala Lumpur Chinatown. It’s a nocturnal sanctuary where design, storytelling, and mixology intersect—perfect for those searching craft cocktails or romantic bar in KL. The space channels Penrose’s ethos—climate of intention, curated conversation, refined plating of flavours—but scaled to feel more expansive and communal. The Lavantha drinks menu is structured into four pillars: Tall (refreshing highballs), Sharp (vibrant sours), Forward (spirit-driven), and Savory (umami-rich cocktails). Signatures include the eponymous Lavantha gin cocktail, Siccamore, Michelada (mezcal-tomato umami blend), Plakus Nectar, Pastica, and Adonis #2—each crafted with clarity, restraint, and depth. The ambiance plays a central role. Housed within a polished, geometric vault with champagne lighting, sleek black marble, reflective gold monolith, and secret lounge rooms, Lavantha KL delivers drama without pretense. Seating accommodates 40 at the bar, plus sofa nooks and a private Conservatory space for VIPs or intimate groups of four. It opens late (around 8 PM–2 AM), making it a top pick for date night, late night bar and stylish after-work drinks. Currently, Lavantha serves cocktails only; a small curated menu of Japanese-inspired, fresh and citrus-driven tapas is set to launch soon—designed for pairing. But even now, the focus on liquid craft, layered flavours, and refined hospitality stand out. It’s a place where each drink unfolds like a conversation, and where precision meets spacious expression. If you're planning a chic evening out, hunting for best cocktail bar or seeking a sophisticated nightcap with craft at the core, Lavantha Kuala Lumpur delivers atmosphere, artistry, and discretion. Ambiance, cocktails, curated design—this is elevated nightlife in Chinatown, KL.
