About the Pokok All Day Bar
The Pokok takes its name from the Malay word for "tree," and the bar is literally built around a large old tree on Chulia Street. The open-air setup uses a raised terrace and ground-level tables spread across a courtyard, giving it a casual American beer-garden feel transplanted into a George Town backpacker lane.
Draught beer is the main draw — a glass of Tiger starts at RM10, Heineken and Guinness at RM13, with bucket deals available. Cocktails range from RM20 to RM35 and are straightforward rather than craft-focused. The bar is open daily from 6 pm until 3 am, making it one of the latest-closing spots on this stretch. It fills up after 10 pm on weekends with a mix of backpackers, locals and tourists. No reservations, no cover. Cash and card accepted.

Open-air bar on Chulia Street with a big tree in the middle — the whole setup is very Instagrammable. Draft beer from RM12 and cocktails from RM18. Live acoustic music on weekends adds to the relaxed tropical vibe.

Great place to grab an afternoon beer or a fresh juice. The bar operates from daytime into late night. We had the mango daiquiri (RM22) and fish tacos under the shade of the pokok tree. Chill and unpretentious.

Stopped here after walking around the heritage zone and it was exactly what we needed. Cold Tiger on tap, fairy lights strung above, and a friendly crowd. Prices are very fair for the Chulia Street area.

The tree growing through the bar structure is a cool feature. Happy hour deals before 7 pm make it even more affordable. The nachos are loaded and shareable. Service can be slow when busy but the staff are friendly.

Best spot on Chulia for a laid-back drink. We came back three nights in a row during our stay. The sangria jug (RM45) is good value for sharing. Open from 4 pm daily, which is earlier than most bars nearby.
