6 Best Sports Bars in Klang Valley for Your Beer Pong and Drinking Games Fix
Remember sports bars? The kind that you see on American television, where your favourite sitcom dudes would hang out watching football? They used to be a thing in KL too! But after suffering a decline in the early 2000s, we’re beginning to see a new rebirth of these sports haunts where you can enjoy cheap beer and loud company. Sports bars are officially BACK with these 6 new places in the Klang Valley!
1. Arena Bar

This one already has a reputation among the local community for being quote-unquote, the ‘biggest sports bar’ around. We don’t have a measuring tape at hand but by judging the crowds it accommodates, we don’t dare dispute that. Bringing a very New-York inspired theme to its decor, Arena features all your bar-fly favourites, including beer pong, darts, and plenty of wide-screen TVs to keep you up to date with your scores.
Reasons to visit:
- Supposedly the biggest sports bar around town! (we believe it)
- Offers a whole host of sports-bar approved entertainment (darts, slap cup, beer pong, etc)

You take control of where you want the night to go when you visit CRTL Bar in Solaris. As a sports/games bar, CTRL features all the typical neon-festooned amenities that one should come to expect from a place that opens at nightfall. Skewed with a retro gaming, 1980s theme, neon art of Pacman and Space Invaders greet you as you walk into the place. It’s a great place to spectate live sports from, if you enjoy feeling like you’ve been transported back into an arcade from 1989.
Reasons to visit:
- Unique arcade-themed interior decorated extensively with neon motifs.
- Plenty of sports-bar appointed amenities such as beer pong, plus arcade machines too!

- Ambiance is less intense and more relaxed, allowing customers to enjoy a pint and the game without any fuss

If you want a sultry twist on the sports-bar recipe, Mamacina has got you covered. Decorated with lashings of red in various different hues and lit by bright neon, there’s almost a spicy seduction that you feel upon entering the bar.
