About Pasar Karat (Bazar JB)

Pasar Karat, run by the city council as Bazar JB, is the night market closest to the Causeway and the only one in Johor Bahru that opens every night. For years it filled the streets around Jalan Segget. The Johor Bahru City Council (MBJB) moved the traders to the Jalan Duke car park beside Galleria @ Kotaraya from 25 November 2025, open every day from 7 pm to midnight. A March 2026 guide says a further move to Jalan Syed Mohamed Mufti is planned as part of the city-centre upgrade; we could not confirm whether that has happened, so check the MBJB website or ask locally.

It is as much a shopping market as a food one: clothes, thrift finds, shoes (one stall sold 3 pairs for RM30) and phone accessories, plus snacks. Guides recommend the Lokching grilled sausage stall (RM13 for five), mi siput, a fried cracker from Muar served with sweet sambal (RM3), lime and plum juice (RM3) and snow cheesecake (RM10). A 2025 visit found that most stalls only get going from about 8.30 pm. The site is about 10 minutes' walk from JB Sentral.
