About Sphere Rooftop Bar
Sphere Rooftop Bar sits on top of Chulia Mansion and leans heavily into a space and cosmic theme — blue lighting, planet-shaped decor and cocktails served in globe-shaped glassware. The concept sounds gimmicky, but the drinks are genuinely well-crafted. Sphere's Oddity (RM48), a whiskey and plum wine mix with wasabi and yuzu, is the signature. A Wild Eclipse (RM45) uses vodka infused with wild mushrooms and thyme. Beyond Earth's Atmosphere (RM42) blends truffle-washed bourbon with caramel and chocolate notes.
The rooftop terrace gives a street-level view of the Chulia Street area rather than a high-rise panorama, keeping the atmosphere intimate. Open daily from 6 pm to 2 am. The bartenders can personalise cocktails to your taste. Seating is limited, so arriving before 8 pm on weekends secures a spot. Card payments accepted.

Stunning views from Chulia Mansion rooftop. The Sphere Sundowner cocktail (RM45) with aperol and fresh orange juice was perfectly timed with the sunset. The infinity-edge bar counter is a brilliant design touch.

Cocktails are pricey at RM42-48 but you are paying for the ambience and view. We could see the Clan Jetties and the sea from our seats. The truffle popcorn complimentary bar snack was a nice surprise.

Came for sunset drinks and stayed until closing. The rooftop breeze makes it pleasant even on warm evenings. The passion fruit martini was tangy and strong. DJ plays chilled house music from 9 pm onwards.

Good spot on Chulia Street for a special occasion. The wine selection is decent with bottles starting at RM120. Service was polished and our server was knowledgeable about the cocktail ingredients.

We reserved a sofa set for four and it was the perfect way to spend a Saturday evening. The espresso martini here uses locally roasted beans and you can really taste the difference. Opens daily from 6 pm.
