You don’t come here to drink your eyeballs out, you come to bathe in history. Call us nostalgic, but above all, call the Coliseum its rightful title – an institution. In times when many of KL’s historic spots are being threatened to extinction by a bulldozer, or which have already been destroyed, this place is an emblem of older times, of a gayer Malaya, our riveting history, and so much more. Coliseum is a charming watering hole, and with new management at the reins, we hope this great small bar stays put for another ninety years and beyond.

But the café, which opened its doors in 1921 as Coliseum Café & Hotel (KL) Sdn Bhd, is an iconic hostelries and among the last vestiges of the colonial era along the street previously known as Batu Road.
Coliseum and steaks, Mat Salleh-style
July 9, 2013
After a jolly good innings on the most time-honoured and busiest part of Kuala Lumpur, the old charm, one of the very few restaurants of vintage Malaya left serving chicken chop with buttered toast, is finally branching out, hanging up its hat in Petaling Jaya two days ago.

Still wanting to work at 89
June 2, 2013
KUALA LUMPUR: Ho Sing Fong, 89, does not fly a plane or steer a ship but he is the undisputed captain of one of the city's culinary icons.
The octogenarian used to be the head of the Coliseum Café and Hotel in Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman before he retired last year after a brief illness.

The steakhouse has been faithfully serving good food since colonial days and preserves its nostalgia with starched linens, smoky hallways and stern looking elderly waiters.
