There’s always something going on at REXKL: art installations by the likes of Ernest Zacharevic, Fahmi Reza and Pangrok Sulap, Dungeons & Dragons board game meets; curated flea markets hawking antiques, jewellery, thrift clothing, Friday Night Mic comedy sets from the city’s fast-rising comedians, DJ nights, live music, themed parties, film screenings, skate jams, workshops, and more.
Fuel up at the food hall, The Back Ground, home to Alta Cafe’s Alta Burger, Hijau, Licky Chan, Stellar Coffee, and Phil’s Pizza. Over at The REX Bar, you’ll find craft beers, cocktails, and sparkling tuak (Sarawakian rice wine) on tap. On the rooftop is shhhbuuuleee, an East Asian restobar serving up small plates and saké. The tenants are an ever-evolving lineup but for the time being, you can visit BilaBila Mart for a reimagined kedai runcit (convenience store) retail experience, BookXcess, a bibliophile's paradise with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, and Outsiders Bikes, an all-terrain adventure bike shop.
