Found this hidden gem on google and can’t believe we didn’t visit sooner!
This speakeasy offers a cozy ambience, Super friendly owner with a warm Malaccan hospitality.
The cocktails - both classics and locally influenced that were recommended were carefully crafted and delicious.
(We ordered the Terung, Lada, Jungle Bird and Old Fashion)
We had an amazing time and will make it our go to bar the next time we are back for a visit at our hometown.

👍🏻 Budi is a cocktail bar worth revisiting; their mixology is truly exceptional. However, it would be great if the bar could place water on the table for customers to add themselves, constantly going back and forth can be inconvenient for the waiter. Additionally, after having drinks, there's a craving for snacks. I hope there will be some snack options to accompany the drinks, aside from just the drinks menu. This way, customers can enjoy more drinks without feeling too hungry to stay longer 🥰

We've heard of hidden bars in the area but have never actually been to one. We were really full from dinner but decided to go look for one anyway.
That's how we came about Budi. On the outside, it looks like a small business in a back alley that is already closed - no lights, no signboard, no banners. However, when we knocked on the metal door, someone opened it and invited us in.
The staff brought us through a coffee shop into a back door, which led to a narrow staircase up to the 2nd and 3rd floor.
The bar is on the second floor, where there are also a couple of tables, and there are another couple of tables on the third floor. It was very well done, and it felt like we were in some secret underground bar scene in the movies.
The staff introduced drinks to us, and was very savvy on every drink, including what was in the drinks, and how we would like it based on our preferences, such as refreshing, strong, or sweet.
The drinks were awesome, not just in the presentation but also the balance of the mix. Strongly recommend this place!

A very quiet Saturday night for this bar, as I was too early. There was only a table occupied. As the place is small and cozy, it can get a bit awkward to speak in a normal volume. Ordered the festive drink and was definitely impressed by it.
Overall a great bar to swing by, but it’s a really small place so do head over early or give them a call.

Excellent and creative cocktails with an awesome bar team. Tai Yong and his staffs are really friendly, and the drinks exceeded our expectations. Reservations in advance is a must, given Budi’s popularity among locals and tourists. Highly recommended for those seeking a uniquely crafted bar in Melaka.

The experience at Budi was awesome. The atmosphere was cool and unique. A nice spin on an old “kampung” house room esp. the upstairs level that we sat at. The bar was pretty cool. Their drink offerings is one of a kind. You gotta try them all!! 🤤

Hidden and quaint, this charming bar offers a variety of unique and interesting take on cocktails- you definitely wouldn't be able to find them in other bars.
Love that the music was there to set the atmosphere but not be deafening.
Definitely recommend!

Truly EXCEPTIONAL cocktails, coming from NYC standards this completely blew me away. So much intention and ingenuity to the drinks, especially the Labu drink! Also tried the Pandan after seeing reviews which was probably a mistake - not because it wasn’t a good cocktail but because I usually don’t like Pandan flavor at all so this was best possible outcome of a bad foundation to my taste haha! Other than that bad decision the service decor and most importantly cocktails make this place a MUST visit, truly a highlight of my 2 months of travel in SE Asia so far. Expect $30-$55 RM for drink.

Beautiful hidden gem of a find in the sleepy town, just above a cafe. You buzz at the door and their lovely wait staff will lead you up to a cosy space with a well stocked bar. Friendly service and some of the best cocktails I’ve ever had - it was so good we went back again. Small place so make reservations ahead of time.
