Situated in between the old and new of Kuala Lumpur is The Rub Bar, a massage establishment that provides all the normal services of what you’d expect from a massage place but with a little few surprises along the way.
Now, let’s talk about the name. I know what you’re thinking… and guuuurrl…
The Rub Bar is essentially a word play on the Malay word ‘raba’ which means to ‘to rub’ in English, and to that they do. The establishment offers premium quality massage services and products at affordable prices.
I’ve been to my fair share of massage places and spas, so if I had to describe this place, it’d be like walking into a minimalistic spa with a touch of whimsey from the products they offer [imagine if LUSH had a spa].
The service all around was attentive without being too invasive, and the overall atmosphere of the place was calm despite knowing that you’re in the heart of the city.
The Rub Bar is conveniently located just a few minutes walk from the Dang Wangi LRT Station, and is surrounded by a row of chilled-out low key cafes as well as a hip hotel [Stripes Hotel Kuala Lumpur] not too far off.
