About

W.I.P (originally Work In Progress and now playfully Whipped Into Place) is a long‑standing restaurant and bar destination at Bangsar Shopping Centre, known for its welcoming coastal‑resort atmosphere, eclectic menu, and vibrant drink programme. The venue blends casual all‑day dining with an inviting bar scene that appeals equally to locals, expats, and visitors looking for relaxed socialising in one of Kuala Lumpur’s most popular lifestyle precincts.


The space features a mix of indoor and outdoor seating areas surrounded by lush tropical greenery and stylish design elements inspired by Mediterranean and seaside resort aesthetics. A large clam‑shaped island bar serves as the social focal point, encouraging interaction with mixologists while friends enjoy drinks and small plates.

W.I.P’s beverage programme is a highlight, featuring an extensive range of cocktails, mojitos, sangrias, wines, premium spirits, champagnes, and beers. The bar is especially known for its variety of mojitos and sangria cocktails, with creative options that change seasonally and draw regular followers.

The food menu is designed around cosmopolitan comfort cuisine, with influences from Western, Asian, and Indian coastal traditions. Diners can expect everything from grilled meats and seafood to unique fusion dishes, pastas, pizzas, and bar snacks that pair well with the drinks. Signature and seasonal dishes may include items like espetada (Portuguese‑style skewers), red curry duck, nasi goreng petai, and lamb burgers, which reflect the venue’s diverse culinary approach.

The ambience at W.I.P is relaxed and sociable throughout the day, with a soundtrack of chillhouse, Latin jazz, and light music by resident DJs, which gradually shifts to more energetic rhythms on weekend nights. Live music and themed evenings add to its appeal as a go‑to spot in Bangsar for dinner, drinks, or late‑night gatherings.
