Review: Ministry of Crab
March 16th, 2025
A short stroll from Petaling Street, Travel Hub Guesthouse’s third-level bar proves a discreet destination for drinkers; take the spiral stairs up and you might have the entire lounge blissfully to yourself on a Thursday evening, with the terrace offering a sunset view of the national mosque and old railway station on one end and the Petronas Twin Towers and Menara KL on the other.
Cocktails come relatively cheap at The Attic; a Mojito, Melon Martini or Mango Margarita chimes in at RM15 each, while a Long Island Iced Tea tops out at RM20 – you might nonetheless need more than a couple of drinks for a comfortable buzz. There’s also a mystery cocktail called Karma; for RM17, you supposedly get what you deserve but perhaps not what you want.
Attic at Travel Hub Backpackers KL
