Hidden Bar — Restaurant in George Town

Went there on a Wednesday at 12pm after seeing that it closes late, wanted to get a quick drink alone to relax as a tourist. Went inside and the place was almost empty (with two group of foreigners and two smaller crowd by the bar table). Sat for almost ten minutes myself looking around trying to get a hold of a menu, but nobody serviced me or tend to me. All staff were walking around minding their own business. Pretty much played phone for 10 minutes and decided to take a few pictures and leave. I don't think the ambience and price-point here aren't worth it given that there's no servicing despite the place being almost-empty, hence decided to just leave for a better place, before I order and regret.

Place is nice, but it's small and underwhelming. Nice design, but I think...

An interesting place to hangout with friends over cocktails if you're looking for a different experience. Their cocktails are unique, and range from fruity to herbal. Presented in porcelain gourd vases, and drank from bowls, they offer a unique visual and drinking experience.

There is a nice mural in the backroom, and the place tries to retain the feeling from a past era using mostly wood and rustic furniture with an old world charm.

The music can be too loud at times leading to difficulty in carrying out any kind of decent conversation, and they do allow smoking indoors which may not agree with everyone. However, this is par for the course for a lot of bars. Maybe the expectation is to just hangout without too much talking, and have drinks while vibing...

This is a nice bar, and as it's name suggests, it's well hidden. Thankfully, due to one of the reviews citing the Taiwan restaurant (that has an adjoining door), it wasn't too difficult to find. The actual front door of the bar offers no clues whatsoever as to the nature of the place.

The environment is good and if you are a smoker you'll be pleased to know that you can smoke inside. Even so, the place wasn't smoky so it is well ventilated. The decor is basic but tasteful. We didn't try their cocktails. We got a bucket of 5 Carlsberg for RM88. Compared to hawkers etc, this is expensive but very normal for bars in Malaysia.

I would go back. Nothing special for me but was happy to enjoy a cigarette...
