KL Live Bands are very entertaining, when you see great musicians perform
Update 2018 – There are a lot of new places where you can find live music, and many of these new places may come and go. However, some of the notable places mentioned above have been around for more than a decade and will still have great live music.

You can also check out my other posting about Live Band Music at Bars in PJ, Selangor. That list caters to only the places that have live music.

Take note that some
places even offer great beer promotions like 3 for RM60.00 or Buy-1-Free-1
while on special occasions, you might have to pay cover charges at the
door which usually includes one drink.

For those
who frequent these places, I would love to hear your feedback on some of
the bands performing around KL.

Also, if you know of any particular bar or
pub with live music that is not listed, please feel free to comment
