Midweek, the action hits a fever pitch with the KLCW Festival Village at Sentul Depot (Apr. 26), transforming the iconic space into a boozy wonderland of over 30 renowned brands, craft cocktails, games, and performances. It’s the only day where everyone — bartenders, brands, and fans — comes together under one roof.
Beyond the drinks, KL Cocktail Week will dive deep into the culture of cocktails and host insightful seminars on industry secrets, such as "The Art of Hospitality" by Philip Bischoff of Bangkok’s BKK Social Club, and "Breaking The Paycheck-To-Paycheck Cycle” by Peter Yong, the founder of Mr. Money TV.
Tickets to the Festival Village are priced at RM100 per person. The entry ticket is inclusive of 2 cocktails worth RM80, and additional tokens can be purchased for cocktails, which range from RM35 to RM55. Tickets for the Festival Village are on sale now here.
