Rooftop Bar

Sarawak


It wins no prizes for an original name, but the bar at the new GoldenBay Hotel is the best place in town to combine sunset views of the South China Sea with vistas of Bintulu's impetuous sprawl. Happy-hour prices kick in around 6pm and the hotel is about RM5 by Grab from the Bintulu riverfront.
