Biru San
The lot beside APW Bangsar’s Kaiju Company-a Japanese and Thai fusion restaurant-is finally occupied, up and running. Started by the folks behind Kaiju, the alfresco craft beer bar has a Japanese leaning as its moniker suggests. Pick your poison from an extensive list that includes (but is not limited to) notable names from Japan while you munch on small plates from the kitchen nextdoor.
Address: APW Bangsar, 29, Jalan Ring, 59100 Kuala Lumpur
Opening hours: Tues to Fri (4.30pm-12am), Sat to Sun (3pm to 12am)
