Known for its vibrant and free-spirited personality, Monkey Shoulder is set to take over some of Kuala Lumpur’s most popular bars, promising unforgettable nights filled with great music, fun games, and expertly crafted cocktails. Monkey Shoulder, first introduced in the UK in 2005, quickly became a favourite among bartenders and whisky enthusiasts alike. The brand has since been praised for its smooth and versatile character. Now, Monkey Shoulder is bringing its renowned energy and playful spirit to Malaysia, inviting you to join in on a series of bar takeovers that will make your nights out truly memorable.
According to Brendon Khoo, the regional brand ambassador for Monkey Shoulder, “We’re staying true to Monkey Shoulder’s DNA by bringing a wave of fun and bold energy to nightlife, giving party-goers experiences they won’t forget. With Monkey Shoulder, you have the power to transform any evening into an unforgettable adventure. Let’s mix it up and make it Monkey!”
In collaboration with some of Kuala Lumpur’s trendiest venues, Monkey Shoulder encourages you to break away from the ordinary and embrace a new kind of night out. Gather your friends and head to one of the many bar takeovers happening across the city throughout this and next month. Expect spontaneous games, exciting prizes, and a party atmosphere that will keep you dancing until the early hours.
One of the standout features of these events is “Monkey Hour,” where you can collect a Monkey Shoulder token and redeem a complimentary glass of whisky. The fun doesn’t stop there – a stellar line-up of DJs, including DJ Leonard Sinclair, Queen T, LZZY, Ann Jo, Sherry Alyssa, Exclusive Pete, and more, will keep the energy high and the music flowing all night long.
Whether you find yourself in Petaling Street at G String, the lively Souled Out in Bangsar South, or the vibrant Rockafellers along Changkat, each bar takeover promises its own unique experience. From the glitzy vibes of Finch in downtown KL to the laid-back charm of WIP at BSC, Bangsar, the Monkey Shoulder takeover series offers something for everyone, with each venue injecting its unique flair into the signature Monkey Shoulder experience.
