Why music?
Well, the team at V88 believe that great music is as essential to the soul as great food is to the body. They have secured a quality soundtrack system in collaboration with KL’s finest audiophiles: Fono. A fun fact for you: most of their acquired equipment are from the late 70s and are still in good working condition. This is a perfect spot for music lovers! Each day offers carefully selected vinyl tracks to not only complement the ambiance of the space, but equally tailored to the mood and vibe of the day!
Great, good music! What about the food?!
Aside from the special musical experience in this vintage space – their menu is a culinary symphony in itself.

From freshly brewed specialty coffee, to vivid cocktails – their drink game is strong! They also serve a wide range of all day brunch and dinner options from their big breakfast and rice bowls, to their pizzas and burgers. Their freshly grilled Yakitori paired with bottled or tap beer is also a recommended must try here at V88 Starhill.
