I never noticed that bar Pahit is literally opposite bar rhubarb roses and I sometimes relax at rhubarb bar after work haha. Had their whisky or whiskey figmentation cocktail which was surprisingly strong and alcoholic and finished with their signature gin pahit #2 both for rm 50 and rm 45 respectively. Very nice and unique cocktails and strong with the alcohol too. The services were friendly and quick at the bar sitting too

Haven’t been back here in 10 years! Nice to see they still have a very interesting collection of gins including a Sicilian one which I really enjoyed. Many thanks to M and crew for the very enjoyable evening learning about gins. Will be back for sure!

Pahit is truly a hidden gem in KL. Tucked away in a small house in Bukit Bintang, this bar offers a cozy and intimate atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, providing excellent service throughout. The prices are quite reasonable, especially considering the high-quality ingredients used in their cocktails. The menu is creative and unique — many of the ingredients and flavor combinations are unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere. I ordered the Gin Pahit, and it was absolutely refreshing — perfectly balanced and full of character. Definitely a must-visit spot for cocktail lovers in KL.

Pahit is one of KL’s best hidden gems! This stylish gin bar offers an incredible selection of craft gins and expertly mixed cocktails. The ambiance is cozy yet sophisticated, with dim lighting and rustic decor—perfect for unwinding after work or a night out. The bartenders are knowledgeable and passionate, crafting unique drinks tailored to your taste. Their Pahit gin cocktail is a must-try! The bar snacks are delicious, especially the spiced nuts. Service is friendly, and the vibe is relaxed but chic. Whether you're a gin enthusiast or just looking for a great cocktail, Pahit won’t disappoint. Recommended!

A great vibe restaurant and think would be a perfect place to go on a date, loved ones, friends and colleagues. Food was delicious and drinks were amazing too. The team were very friendly and gave great recommendations. The Gin Pahit Cocktail was their signature and I do indeed recommend to try! There are outdoor seatings and think this would be nice place to chill and even work remotely. Would definitely go back in the near future! :)
