Review: Mr Brooks at Bangsar Shopping Centre

The BIG Group’s newest watering hole is exceptionally hidden from public view, with no signboards outside to betray their existence. Here’s a peek into Mr Brooks at Bangsar Shopping Centre.

Mr. Brooks can be either an adventure or a chore to locate, depending on one’s tolerance.

Basically, the bar is kinda behind Ben’s on BSC’s third floor; look first for the Sunbeam Alpine car …

… then push through the tool panel to reveal a speakeasy-style bar evocative of Tate at The Intermark.

Expensive Cocktails

This is a sumptuously decorated place, nothing like the minimalism of Barlai. That’s reflected in the stiff prices too: Cocktails here each range between RM50++ & RM95++.

We could only afford two of the cheaper options, but both tasted fantastic, with beautifully balanced flavours. Nan’s Carrot Cake lived up to its description of being thick & lightly spiced, with a cheeky nip from Grandma’s secret Drambuie stash (RM60++).

Fruit N Nut, a cosmo that’s creamy with a distinctive pistachio after-taste (RM50++).

Final Thoughts

By the way, there are rumours that Mr Brooks will turn into a members-only bar, with the possibility that patrons might need to spend RM3,000 on a single receipt for a six-month membership. Best to call to check before coming here.
