Oops. They have moved to CapSquare in KL (since Dec 2008).

CONTACT DETAILS:
(New) Name: Urbanattic @ KL
Address: G-46 CapSquare, No. 7 Persiaran Capsquare, Off Jalan Ampang, Capital Square, 50100 Kuala Lumpur
Phone: 03-26933808

[ END EDIT ]
I love the ambience here.... It's arty, airy and modern with funky furniture and cool colours with a stark contrast of a bright red chandelier near the stairwell:
I have been there twice and noticed that they change the art pieces periodically, which is nice.
:)
There are also some delicious desserts to try there:
I can't remember the names but they were all very yummy.
They usually have 2 or 3 different types of pastries at a time (priced at RM10 each) and the selection is changed daily... There is only a limited amount though, so if you're not lucky then it may have run out by the time you go there for drinks at night.
(They also have an ala carte menu of Spanish/ Italian food here but I haven't tried it yet)
There is also a range of classic drinks as well as interestingly named drinks (some of the names are quite naughty! *blush*). Generally, they taste pretty good and are moderately priced (not expensive but not cheap either) at around RM18++ to RM28++ for cocktails.
The major plus point for me is that they are a smoke free bar.
(Yay - no second hand smoke!)
Smokers will have to puff on their cancer sticks on the adjoining balcony area.
Sadly, this is probably the exact reason why it's always so empty on Saturday nights....
Still, you can call me weird if you want but I really enjoy having lots of space and clean, smoke free air which adds up to a comfortable and conducive environment to catch up with friends.
(As opposed to loud, crowded and smokey clubs/ bars/ lounges)
:)
Overall: Nice restaurant/ bar in Bangsar area that is smoke free! It has nice tasting and reasonably priced drinks and yummy desserts.

Hehe.. My dentist is on the same block. Went there with him for a drink after my check-up. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting. I haven't been down Jalan Bangkung for ages. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeletesmoke-free bar! goodie :p ooooo... da desserts.....making me really wanna have a bite on it right now!!! *drool*
ReplyDeletethe place looks really nice, and the desserts really sinful...
ReplyDeleteprobably not a good place for dieters to visit...but if i weren't on a diet, i'd definitely give it a go.
from all those horror movies i've watched thus far, the word attic is enuff to give me image of things that go bump in the night up the attic like in the movie The Grudge!
ReplyDeleteJQ, you shouldn't have..
ReplyDeletenow we can't get a table the next time we go..
Damn. Your title was so deceiving. I thought this post had to do with making babies or something when it appeared in my bloglines. Haha
ReplyDeleteI was conned! Hahah
Anyway, finally did the meme
to jemima:
ReplyDeleteHmmm,.. daliances with your dentist?
Oh, behave!
;)
Haha.
*hugs*
to boo_licious:
No probs! I hope you like it if you go there.
:)
to meiyen:
bwahaha.
Just promise that (if we are there together), you won't fight with me for the desserts.
:)
to laksa:
Diet Shmiet!
There's more to life than that so don't deny yourself that wonderful thing called chocolate!
(But of course, everything in moderation lah)
to wuching:
Haha.
Ask your wife to hold your hand then.
(Hope that helps!)
to soojin:
Now, now - we shouldn't be so selfish!
Besides, I am sick of not having any eye candy to perve at while we are at the Attic.
(Erm... present company excluded of course)
:)
to Merv:
ReplyDeleteHuh?
Fun in the attic = Making babies?
Haha.
Merv, you are definately reading waaaaaay too deep into those innocent words.
:)
Thanks for doing the meme!
j, went to this place yesterday after watching The Devil Wears Prada and it was closed! :( i didn't know that they close at 11pm though and i was somehow craving for cakes at 12am!!! pathetic... didn't even get to eat any of them cause starbucks & coffeebean has got nothing to tempt me and while i walked in to alexis about to order, da waiter told me that they are closing and asked me if i wanna take-away da cakes.. blehh...:( anyways, i ended up eating roti tissue at devi's corner... ;)
ReplyDeleteto meiyen:
ReplyDeleteHaiyah, my dear girl, why you didn't see properly? - I put the opening hours in the summary box already maaaaaah.
;P
Anyway, you poor thing.
It must have sucked going to 1 place - find it closed - drive to another place - they tell you they are closing.
I suppose most places in Bangsar close pretty early on weekdays.
Nvm lah.
Roti tisu also good.
:)
(How was the movie?)
yeah...my mistake, didn't read properly! oh by da way, i love da movie! go watch it..;)
ReplyDeleteeh, come by say hallo lah!
ReplyDeleteto meiyen:
ReplyDeleteNext time, open your eyes a little bigger.
hee hee hee.
And yeah - just watched the movie: It's nice!
:)

Re: Posting up about the Attic
No probs man.
I give honest reviews of places I visit and I enjoyed the Attic so I will give credit where it's due.
(That's fair, right?)
I'm sorry I missed the Pop Art exhibition launch - I'm sure it was great!
I'll mail you soon - it would be nice to pop in for the next event.
Cheers,
