The Loft is our current Notable Nightlife due to it’s friendly staff, great views of Sabah’s spectacular sunsets and, for the Waterfront at least, its reasonable prices.

Whenever you walk down Kota Kinabalu’s The Waterfront’s promenade, if every other establishment is quiet, chances are there will be life at The Loft.

Popular with a regular crowd of locals and tourists drawn in the by the atmosphere, The Loft is one of those places where you can simply take a load off. There’s friendly people to meet and chat to if you’re feeling social, or the view and people watching to loose yourself in if you’re not.v

Another notable aspect of The Loft is their extensive drinks menu. Fresh on tap is the ever popular Tiger pint and Guinness, and the equally popular more recent edition of Kilkenny cream ale.

Bottled in the fridge awaits no less than 13 other popular international beers including Hoegaarden, Corona and Victoria Bitter.

Monday’s Tiger & Guinness Draught Happy hour from 15:00 – midnight and Tuesday’s Beer Buffet (RM55 for all you can drink between 18:30 – 22:00, check at The Loft for T&Cs) are aimed especially at beer fans.

Although it might seem as if beer lovers get a lot of love at The Loft, wine lovers need not feel left out as there is, literally, plenty to go around.

From the wine list you can choose your favourite from around 20 different white and red wines. The house Chardonnay and Shiraz are available by the glass, whilst the rest are available by the bottle, all at below RM99 save for two from the Houghton estate at RM128 & RM130 respectively.

If neither wine nor beer suits your pallet, then certainly a cocktail, shooter or a spirit will calm your shaking hands. In all three categories The Loft can meet your needs.

Just ask the experienced bar staff to mix your favourite, or be daring and try a Loftail, like the Borneo Ice Tea which contains, amongst other things, draught beer!

Next time you’re up for sundowners, a nightcap or a warm up venue for your nightlife marathon, keep in mind our Notable Nightlife that is The Loft Kota Kinabalu.
