Founded by veteran bartender CK Kho, Coley is one of the original movers on Malaysia's cocktail scene and remains a much-loved neighbourhood bar on Jalan Abdullah in Bangsar. It is named after Ada Coleman, the head bartender of The Savoy's American Bar who created the hanky panky, and was named The Best Bar in Malaysia in 2019.
Coley's claypot-aged hanky panky is the must-order. The wider list runs from boozy, stirred brown drinks to longer, lighter serves, often with local touches such as dragon eye, sour plum and air mata kucing, and there is even a spiked soft-serve. A short menu of small plates leans mostly on Malaysian dishes.
The bar regularly hosts pop-ups and guest shifts. It appeared on Asia's 50 Best Bars 51–100 list in 2024 (No.70), 2025 (No.92) and 2026 (No.83). Relaxed and cosy, good for unhurried conversations.
Bars tweak their hours and menus often, so it's worth a quick check before you head out.
