Pisco Bar pairs Spanish-Peruvian cooking with cocktails on Jalan Mesui in Bukit Bintang. Start with a Pisco Sour, then share ceviche, lomo saltado or an Iberico pork platter; the menu also includes paella, calamari and prawns. The two-floor space has a retro look, with a more relaxed dinner scene downstairs and music that turns the upstairs into a dance floor on weekends. Thursday brings live music, while Friday and Saturday are geared toward DJs and dancing. Come for dinner, drinks or a later night out, but expect the music to get loud.
Spanish-Peruvian food and cocktails
Pisco Bar is on Jalan Mesui in Bukit Bintang, near Changkat. Its menu brings together Spanish and Peruvian cooking, with dishes suited to sharing. Ceviche and lomo saltado are among the options, alongside paella, calamari and prawns. The Iberico pork platter with Tuak is another pairing to look for.
The drinks menu centres on cocktails, including the Pisco Sour. A whiskey-based matcha cocktail is also available. If you are choosing several plates for the table, ask the staff about the current menu and happy hour.
Dinner downstairs, dancing upstairs
The bar occupies two floors, with a retro interior and a more relaxed restaurant setting downstairs. Music and activity build as the evening goes on. Thursday is associated with live music; Friday and Saturday bring DJs and dancing upstairs.
The change in pace makes Pisco Bar work for both dinner and a late night out. For a meal where conversation matters, arrive earlier. Later on, the sound level and party atmosphere are a bigger part of the experience. The Long Island iced tea is known for its strength, so drink at a pace that suits you.
