A new sports-themed bar has opened in Kuala Lumpur’s Bukit Damansara neighborhood, offering patrons a blend of lively social spaces and more intimate settings. Sukan, The Fifth Game features an array of eye-catching sports memorabilia, including a replica Formula 1 race car displayed prominently in an illuminated case, a large dartboard, and pristine NBA Los Angeles Lakers jerseys, creating a decor that resembles a global sports museum.
The venue caters to diverse preferences with distinct areas designed for different group dynamics. An alfresco section serves as a social hub where guests can enjoy draught beer and casual conversation, while the air-conditioned interior offers a more comfortable environment for dining and sampling a range of cocktails. Further inside, the bar provides a quieter space for intimate conversations and a hidden cigar lounge accessed via a sliding door.
Sukan, The Fifth Game operates as a sister outlet to the cocktail bars Buku, The First Chapter and Benang, The Second Chapter. Its cocktail menu includes classics such as the Aperol Spritz and Whiskey Sour, along with signature creations. The bar’s take on the Espresso Martini distinguishes itself by using a blend of Indonesian and Malaysian coffee beans and substituting vodka with mezcal, agave, and Kahlúa. This combination introduces a smoky note and rich, nutty undertones complemented by the smooth texture of Kahlúa, garnished with whole coffee beans.
Additional signature cocktails include Your Girl’s Favourite, Adult Slurpy, Golden Boot, and Stadium Lights. Your Girl’s Favourite offers a tropical twist on the classic Piña Colada with rum, pineapple, coconut cream, vanilla, and lime. Stadium Lights blends Grey Goose vodka with dragon fruit, elderflower, and Prosecco, resulting in a vibrant and colorful drink. Adult Slurpy is a slushie-like cocktail combining Don Julio Tequila with grapefruit, lime, and soda, designed as a refreshing palate cleanser after rich meals.
The bar also maintains a curated selection of red and white wines, alongside premium spirits, supported by a professional wine preservation system to ensure each glass remains fresh.
The kitchen serves a menu of hearty dishes, including Grilled Chicken Chop with smoky pepper sauce, a Smashed Lamb Burger with melted cheese and zesty toppings, and Nachos Libre topped with tomato salsa, jalapeños, sour cream, and guacamole. These options are designed to complement the beverage offerings and suit a variety of tastes.
