See route

📍 Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur

Once an old cinema, now one of KL’s coolest creative hubs — RexKL is where art, culture, and community collide 🎨📚🍷


✨ Why Visit?

  • Housed in a former 1940s cinema, RexKL has been transformed into a vibrant multi-level space featuring:
  • Independent bookstore (BookXcess) inside the old theater hall
  • Trendy cafés, bars, and a variety of pop-up food vendors
  • Events, art shows, film screenings, live music & markets
  • The vibe is industrial-meets-hipster — raw walls, neon lights, and endless photo ops!
  • Perfect spot for digital nomads, creatives, and curious travelers

🕐  Open daily — most lively in the afternoons and evenings, especially weekends
📸  Tip: Grab a drink, explore the nooks, and snap a shot under the cinema’s old marquee!

👟 Just a short walk from Petaling Street and Kwai Chai Hong — pair it with a Chinatown food crawl for the perfect day out.
