PinkPass

Gay bars and clubs in Kuala Lumpur, 2026

Every venue checked by hand on 12 October 2026.

Kuala Lumpur’s scene is small and keeps a low profile online, and the venues change faster than the lists about them. So every year we check each one by hand, and this page records what we found.

In 2026 the centre of gravity is Old Klang Road, south of the city centre, where four of the seven venues we list now sit. BlueBoy in Bukit Bintang has run since the 1980s; Cheras has the rest.

Gathe Public (Old Klang Road).

On other lists, but not on ours

These still appear in older Kuala Lumpur guides. We checked each one on 12 October 2026 and could not find it trading, so we don’t list it.

Going out in Kuala Lumpur? If a venue raises an emergency alert, the PinkPass app tells you not to come and pauses check-ins there. Get the app.

Spotted a new venue, or one that has closed? Tell us in the app and we’ll check it for next year’s edition.
