#CHILLWITHME: P&C COCKTAIL BAR, DESA SRI HARTAMAS (KL)

Hey guys!  Welcome to another blog of mine. Ever since I re-located my hangout place to Publika and Mont Kiara, it has been some time that I visited Desa Sri Hartamas area. Back then, you can spot me almost 4 to 5 days a week here. Well, those were the days though.  I have always wanted to check this bar out but did not have the time and chance to. I'm here today to support a friend of mine,  Mehrdad (A model & artist) - let's reveal the bar behind its secret door - P&C COCKTAIL BAR . Located beside Naughty Nuri's KL, this bar is indeed secretive. There's ain't any signage nor indication of the bar from outside. How can you find them?

Don't be...
