Mai Bar — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Aloft Hotel Rooftop Bar (Mai Bar) is a friendly bar with an amazing view. Despite reading some not so favourable comments.. I would like to review this place as a Business Traveller. Firstly I do agree that the place is usually empty (I have been here many times) and food is on the pricey side. However this is balanced by the super friendly staff and people there which I believe will make up for this. Food is also average and nothing much to shout about. I had Satay which was really only so so.

Well as to the 5 🌟 rating... I believe the customer service and staff service really made up for everything negative about the place.. Everyone was so cheerful and friendly. I personally love this place as with most Aloft hotels, it has business travellers in mind.

The good: This place even has a smoking zone near the pool.. unlike many hotels. Well that said their sister hotel Le Meridien Sentral also has a smoking zone near the pool. This itself deserves a mention as with many Aloft around Asia, most has...

The view was amazing! The food was good. We ordered Calsberg 2 long island ice tea Nachos 6/10 Mac and Cheese 5/10 Chicken Wings 8/10 (I remember I ordered buffalo if im not mistaken but it was a dry rub chicken wings, anyway taste was good so its okay)

The LIIT cocktail was not balanced, it was like they just poured the five spirits with a very less amount of the lemon juice and just top with coke, without shaking the ingredients. So it was really really strong!

It taste more of the tequila taste (maybe because its cheaper from the rest of the spirit 😄😋)

The place actually was really beautiful especially at night! The seats was just uncomfortable. Well there’s always a room for improvement. If they can do few refurbishment of their terrace and put more comfortable seats like sofa or couch would be really perfect.

By the way, the service was fantastic!

Thank you for the experience...

Beautiful View

If you ever wonder what a million dollar view looks like, this bar has it.

This place has both outdoor and indoor seating. While the indoor is nice, the table layout is a little wierd although the seats are comfortable. People only sit there to beat the heat. Most sit out in the open to take in the breathe taking view. Only draw back is at times it could be hot. On a cool day though, the outdoors would be amazing.

So, the food and drink got a 3 star from me. Food is really a 4 star for the nice burger but the beer was so expensive. The fries were average. Most of the drinks are way overpriced but then that’s what you have to pay for the view.

Service is good but staff sometimes are busy with other stuff. A call button on tables would be helpful.

Overall worth one visit to soak in the amazing view. There are many other better...
