Cocoon Restaurant and Bar is a vibey bar and eatery located in the vicinity of Hyatt Regency Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Borneo
At only a couple of years old, Cocoon is a must-visit watering hole in Kota Kinabalu.
Featuring contemporary décor inside the bar, a more casual atmosphere is to be found in the outside seating area for meals, snacks and drinking, where conversation is more important than live music.
The drinks prices at Cocoon are reasonable for this part of town, and you’ll find the usual range of beers, spirits and wine. The elongated bar is skirted by a stage from where the local DJ does his thing when the live bands are not performing.
Currently playing at Cocoon Restaurant and Bar is Earth Rising, a Filipino band who is hotter on looks than sound. This 7-piece band only arrived last week is made up of 4 gents, one of which is a lead singer, and 2 ladies guaranteed to hold your attention.
The usual repertoire of cover-songs leans heavily toward hits in the grungy, angry-girl spectrum, but provides sufficient variety to cater a little something for everybody. Earth Rising performs live at Cocoon every night except Sundays.
Any pub-crawl or party night in Kota Kinabalu should include a stop at Borneo’s Cocoon Restaurant and Bar.
