Those who prefer something sweeter should give a try for the gin-based cocktail, Dynasty. Dynasty is an Asian-inspired cocktail of Tanqueray No. 10 Gin, Grapefruit juice and Jasmine tea served in a traditional Chinese teapot and cups.
A must-try drink, the Pulau Panjang, Mantra bar's version of a Long Island Iced Tea which is served in a stainless steel mug, like our popular Malaysian refreshment teh tarik. Another highlight is the Sky Juice. It is a Bahamian-inspired blend of pandan coconut, Cachaca 51 and evaporated milk served in a fresh coconut. MANTRA BAR & LOUNGE presented innovative and creative cocktails by using their own home-brewed Bentong ginger ale.

Besides than the extensive list of cleverly concocted cocktails, MANTRA BAR & LOUNGE also serves munchies, small plates and desserts. Think Crispy Whitebait with truffle oil and potato foam topped with Japanese Onsen egg, or Mantra's Man Tau sliders with lobster or crispy soft shell crab. These dishes are perfect to tuck your tummy while enjoying the beautiful view. I wanted to give a try on their bites, but unfortunately, the kitchen is closed by the time I arrived. Next round, maybe?
A selection of red and white wines are available at MANTRA BAR & LOUNGE for those who prefer sipping a glass or two wines over the night while counting the stars at the deck. However, there is only limited wine to choose from. Price starts from RM 168 and above for a bottle of wine.
MANTRA BAR & LOUNGE is perfect for an after-work chillout or a late night party. One concept lounge that will become the name on everyone's lips. I truly enjoyed my night here. This bar will definitely lands a spot on my most-hangout place in the coming months and I highly recommend all readers to visit at least for once.
