Review: WIP on the Park
April 28th, 2025
Calling itself ‘a local tavern with a fusion twist,’ this singularly spelled new bar is banking on a bright future in Bangsar.
The.Bngsr Tavern is a first-floor hideout with a chilled-out, sleaze-free vibe & strategic view of Telawi’s streets.
The menu was still a work in progress when we visited, but the kitchen seems to have several intriguing ideas cooking, with bar snacks that include this board topped with spoonfuls of duck meat chopped up with capsicum, carrots & lettuce. Chicken tandoori & paneer pizzas are available too, while in a nod to one of Bangsar’s streets, there’s also a ‘Jalan Bilis’ serving of sauteed sausages with anchovies & onions.
By now, the bar should be offering a full range of booze; for this visit, we sipped on Patron XO Cafe, the popular blend of tequila with coffee essence .
