Located 4 kilometers away from Kuala Lumpur, Hilton Petaling Jaya has opened its newest bar concept, Rye, a speakeasy-style bar located in the hotel’s East Wing. Open from Wednesday to Sunday from 4pm to 1am, Rye is a low-lit space and lounge area meant for after-work drinks, pocket meetings, or weekend nights out.
Inside, you’ll see Art Deco detailing, warm lighting, and polished finishes including gold accents. The space can seat 50 guests and has two private rooms for smaller parties or special occasions.
The drinks program at the bar is whisky-focused, so expect single malts, blended whiskies, bourbons, Scotch and Japanese labels, along with regional spirits and wines. For cocktails, the bar offers classics, from Tom Collins to Old Fashioned, but also offers signature drinks like Ryegroni (RM45), a version of a Negroni made with caramelized pineapple and 36-hour lavender infused tea. For a smooth tropical drink, they offer the Peachy Blinders (RM45), made with Bunga Kantan gin, lychee, and peach. And the Resstini (RM45,) a savory whisky and espresso topped with Emmental cheese.
For bites, the food menu at Rye is designed to complement the drinks, with small plates inspired by local Malaysian ingredients and made for sharing.
Those looking to unwind with live music can enjoy performances from The Eclipse Project (a live band performing soul, jazz, and R&B) playing on Wednesdays leading up to the weekend. Once a month, the bar holds a ticketed event featuring guest musicians, giveaways, and crowd-favorite tracks.
If you’re staying at the hotel, you get the extras like priority seating, room charge options, and curated drink pairings. Hilton Honors members can get up to 25% discount too.
Rye is located at Hilton Petaling Jaya, 2, Jalan Barat, Pjs 52, 46200 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. For bookings and event inquiry, call 603 7955 9122 or +6017 643 4862, via email [email protected], or visit eatdrinkhilton.com.
