Fans can step foot into the world of Guinness right in the heart of KL with a curated drinking and dining experience. Alongside exclusive merchandise and music, fans can even learn how to pour the perfect Guinness at Arthur’s Storehouse.
KUALA LUMPUR, 8 November 2022 – Guinness Malaysia has officially launched its first-ever flagship outlet, Arthur’s Storehouse, in Malaysia at Pavilion, Kuala Lumpur. Arthur’s Storehouse is not just any bar – fans can enjoy the true Guinness experience alongside an impressive Guinness-infused food and cocktail menu, as well as exclusive merchandise imported from the Dublin Storehouse.
At the launch, members of the media were treated to an array of curated experiences by the world’s no. 1 stout to tantalise the senses and were some of the firsts to experience the magic of the flagship outlet. They sampled a unique menu curated and enjoyed live performances by local bands. The flagship outlet with its elevated decor is decked out to give lovers of the brand the experience of the Dublin Storehouse with a history wall, photography corner, a Guinness bar and dining area, as well as a lounge all designed in the distinct colours and feel of the brand.
There, fans can check out the Guinness history wall and learn about the precision of the roasting process that gives Guinness its distinctive taste and ruby-red hue at 232 degrees Celsius. As true Guinness lovers know, perfectly pouring Guinness is important to enjoy its smooth and creamy taste. Special rates are available for fans who want to learn pouring the perfect glass themselves with the guidance of the Guinness Academy, and take home a customised Guinness glass with their name engraved on it. But that’s not all, what makes the flagship outlet so singular is its menu being the first in Malaysia to showcase a variety of exclusive Guinness-infused dishes as the showrunner.
Starters include BBQ Hot Wings Glazed with Homemade Guinness Sauce, Guinness Battered Onion Ring and Guinness Braised Oxtail Pork Crackling. For the main dishes, Arthur’s Storehouse serves familiar favourites as well as BBQ Guinness Pork Ribs and Braised Lamb Shank, which pair best with Guinness Foreign Extra Stout. Whereas the Guinness Aged Ribeye Steak and Guinness Shepherd’s Pie pair best with Guinness Draught. The menu also features Asian classics like Guinness Bak Kut Teh and Bulldog Hokkien Mee. Sweet tooths can also sample the unique Guinness-infused dessert menu.
Stout lovers are also in for a treat with the Guinness-infused cocktail menu. Offering classics like ‘Black Velvet’ which is a mixture of Guinness Foreign Extra Stout and Prosecco, as well as something to provide a different cocktail experience with the ‘St James Gate’ which is a mixture of Guinness Draught, Irish Whiskey and coconut milk with cinnamon, and the ‘Guinnesstini’ made with Guinness Foreign Extra Stout, espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur and ice cream.
