Cathy's has been around since the 80's, in Wisma Cosway, one of the older malls in KL, which is across the road from Pavilion. It has not changed one iota in that time, even with the same owner, Michael. Alas he was not around today, apparently he hit it pretty hard last night. I met my mate JR here, who has been coming here since those old days.
Our group generally chooses Changkat Bukit Bintang as our nightspot, but for daytime drinks we go to a whole lot of different plances, particularly me, in my exploration of various parts of KL. But Cathy's has been on the list longer than most places, and we still meet up here for a few very cold and well-priced beers, on a fairly frequent basis.
Michael likes to decorate his walls with a myriad of different old pub artifacts, jokes, and various booze-related items. Most have been there as long as the pub itself, and the longevity and consistency of the place is comforting. In a city like KL, many things have come and gone over the eight years I have been here, but this is one thing that has not changed.
Here is a photo of my mate JR and I enjoying a cold one or two.
I will miss my mates more than I will miss the places we hung out together, but whilst I will almost certainly catch up with John and his family elsewhere, I have a feeling Cathy's won't be around for too much longer, and that I will probably not be back, so it's a bit of an end of an era for me drinking here. Farewell Cathy's, and best of luck to you Michael! Thanks for the beers and memories!
Oh and the chicken wings, they were damn good too...
