November at Havana Bar & Grill brings two ways to catch live music in Kuala Lumpur. Sunday bands play in the courtyard from 5 PM to 8:30 PM; Saturday bands start at 8:30 PM in Che Lounge, with DJs taking over at 11:15 PM. Masterpiece, Take 5, Steele and Al Terry & Josh are on the month's line-up.
Choose your date around the kind of evening you have in mind. A Sunday session fits an earlier dinner and a finish before the late-night programme. Saturday gives you time to meet for a meal before the band and stay for the DJ afterwards. Both take place at Havana on Changkat Bukit Bintang. Making a day of it?

On 7 November, the band is playing modern rock. Take 5's Saturday set on 14 November is listed as retro pop, while Al Terry & Josh bring blues on 21 November.
The 21 November show is ticketed. Contact Havana for the current ticket price and booking arrangements before making plans. For the Take 5 courtyard session on 29 November, entry is free for the band downstairs, and a RM30 cover applies upstairs after 10 PM.
A Sunday evening in the courtyard
Sunday's band session finishes at 8:30 PM. That gives you a clear endpoint if you have an early start the next day or want to fit music around a day of exploring the city. If you are joining friends after a separate afternoon out, agree on a meeting time before the first set.
Ask for the courtyard when reserving for Sunday music. Tell the team how many people are coming and whether you would like to eat before or during the performance. If rain is forecast, check the seating arrangements with Havana before you travel; an outdoor booking should suit the weather as well as the size of your group.
Dinner before the band
Havana's food menu includes steaks, ribs, burgers, pasta, seafood, pizzas and plates to share. Look through the current menu with your group before choosing a booking time, especially if some people want a full meal while others are joining only for the music.
For a Saturday performance, allow enough time to order and eat before the 8:30 PM start. For Sunday, decide whether the table is mainly for dinner or for the 5 PM session, and tell the team when booking. Kitchen service times and dietary requirements are worth checking directly when you reserve.
Getting everyone to the same place
Havana is at Havana Bar & Grill, 2 & 4, Changkat Bukit Bintang, 50200 Kuala Lumpur, in central Kuala Lumpur. Share the venue's current map pin with your group and include the performance area in your message: courtyard for the Sunday bands, Che Lounge for the Saturday band-and-DJ programme.
Set your meeting time earlier than the performance if you want dinner together. Check our guide to getting to Changkat Bukit Bintang by MRT, Grab, parking or on foot before leaving and allow extra time when the weather or traffic is slow. If you expect to stay for a late DJ set, arrange the journey home around that finish rather than the band's start time.
