Phone+60 13-234 1018
Operating hoursDaily 6:00 PM ā€“ 12:00 AM

Cabinet 8 by JWC serves wine, cocktails, and more. There is no menu; instead, you must select something based on your own preferences and which flavor appeals to you: some are topped with red chili and spices, while others are served with a coffee base. They want you to be absorbed in another world here: whether itā€™s at the end of the day or over the weekend. Itā€™s like stepping into Wonderland when you pull down the shelf to enter a new dimension.

Key differentiators:

  • Hidden in a closet bar
  • Unique cocktails
  • Cozy atmosphere

Customerā€™s Review:

Nice ambience. Great place to chill out with friends.

AddressNo. 75A, Jalan Maju, Taman Maju Jaya. , Johor Bahru, Malaysia
Phone+60 13-525 0062
Emailinfo@haiirousagi.com

The Haiiri Usagi Bar is a little hard to find, as there is no signage outside. From the outside, it appears to be a neglected commercial lot. The most remarkable aspect is that you must ring the doorbells until you discover it.

Haiiro Usagi, which translates to ā€œgrey rabbitā€ in Japanese, is a speakeasy-style bar with fantastic drinks and Japanese flourishes.

Key Differentiators:

  • Top-Notch Drinks
  • Make a reservation before arriving 
  • Contemporary Japanese Vibes and Feels

Customerā€™s Review:

Very cool hidden bar. Atmosphere and design is unique, very good for dates and small meetups
