1. Las Carretas Restaurant & Bar

Las Carretas is a popular name for Mexican fare in the Klang Valley. Here is also where you can indulge in eight (yes, eight!) margarita creations, one of which involves a bottle of chilled Corona or Desperadoes stuck upside down into your frozen margarita glass. 

Las Carretas Restaurant & Bar | Multiple locations

2. Fuego at Troika Sky Dining

Take in the city's magnificent skyline as you nurse Fuego's signature margarita garnished with charcoal-grilled lemon.

3. Joloko

Joloko is not only known for its Caribbean fare but also its wide selection of tequila and mezcal so it's simply common sense that they serve a mean margarita. In fact, they serve two versions of it: One made with the classic tequila and another with cointreau mezcal. 

Joloko | 43, Jalan Kamunting, Chow Kit, 50300 Kuala Lumpur | +603 2694 1100 | Tuesday-Thursday, 5pm-12am; Friday-Sunday, 12pm-12am

4. Skullduggery

This little steampunk-y haunt serves up some of the city's most crafty cocktails. Its version of the margarita is no exception. Say hello to the Toreador, what the bar calls a precursor to the margarita that is made with Ocho Blanco Tequila. 

Skullduggery | 2M Plaza Damansara, Jalan Medan Setia 2, Bukit Damansara, 50490 Kuala Lumpur | +6017 266 7335 | Tuesday-Thursday, 6pm-1am; Friday, 7pm-3am; Saturday, 8pm-3am

5. Pinchos Tapas Bar

Every day is Tapas Tuesday and Tequila Tuesday at Pinchos. Amongst the long list of cocktails on its menu is the fantastic classic margarita.
