Rum bar in Bukit Damansara, Kuala Lumpur
Jungle Bird
Cheese In A Cocktail
Jungle Bird is a rum bar with rattan furniture and tropical prints and a collection that a September 2026 review puts at about 300 bottles. It has a new 2026 menu that stretches beyond rum into vodka, gin and tequila, but the spirit of the place stays the same. This is a bar that wants you to have a good time and also happens to be serious.
The kitchen cooks Southeast Asian ingredients with Caribbean and Latin American influences, and it makes things from scratch where it can. The cocktails to look at are the Blue Bird #2, a milk punch with white truffle, blue cheese and olives at RM60, the Picante Mamacita, a reposado tequila drink with habanero heat at RM55, and Guava and Cheese, a clarified rum milk punch with pastry. Cheese in a cocktail should not work. It works.
Happy hour is RM30++ from 5 to 9pm on weekdays and 3 to 7pm on weekends. The bar opens at 5pm Monday to Thursday, 5pm on Fridays until 2am, and at 3pm on weekends. Arrive for happy hour, stay for a second round, and eat something.
