In a city constantly chasing the next high-end rooftop or hyper-exclusive speakeasy, a new spot has opened its doors, or rather, its basement, offering a refreshing kind of escape. Say hello to LandOn, the new underground bar beneath Wisma Central that promises quiet sophistication without the fuss.

Opened in 2025, LandOn avoids the “secret” bar tropes. It’s not a puzzle to find, but once you descend, the transition is instant. Think mosy, mood-lit intimacy of a London tube at night, all without the city’s noise. The atmosphere is grounded, quite literally, with thoughtful design touches like tables crafted from local KL trees and a bar name – a playful nod in itself.

Cocktails That Tell a Story at LandOn

LandOn’s drinks are the main attraction, fueled by a self-taught mixologist with 18 years of experience from established venues across KL. The menu is a rotating cast of bespoke creations, refreshed every few months, but always built on house-made syrups infused with Malaysian flavours like nangka and pandan.

The cocktails are inspired by moods and cravings, with signatures like the Magenta Blitz and the spiced, gin-based Madagasia setting the standard for inventive flavour. For those skipping alcohol, the bar has ensured there are quality alternatives, making everyone feel part of the conversation.

The Soundtrack of Conversation

Crucially, the music is set to a “conversational level.” This is a bar built for talking, not shouting. The sound evolves with the night: chill R&B and nostalgic tracks define the early hours (5 PM onwards), before the energy shifts after 10 PM to a groove of soul, funk and high-energy rhythms, complemented by regular DJ sets and themed nights.

With no private rooms, the vibe is deliberately communal and inclusive, a sophisticated update on the welcoming neighbourhood pub. If you’re looking for a relaxed, refined setting where the drinks are as inventive as the décor is intentional, LandOn offers a new destination in KL’s nightlife.

LandOn is open Tuesday through Sunday from 5:00 PM (closing at 1:00 AM on weekdays/Sunday, and 2:00 AM on Friday/Saturday).
