About Farquhar's Bar at E&O Hotel
Farquhar's Bar inside the Eastern & Oriental Hotel is not a nightclub in any sense, but it deserves a spot on this list as the most polished evening drinking option in George Town. The colonial-era interiors — dark wood, leather armchairs, ceiling fans — set a tone that works for a pre-dinner drink or a quiet nightcap. Jazz and acoustic sets play on selected evenings.
Cocktails start around RM30 and wines from RM35 per glass, reflecting the hotel's positioning. The bar closes at 11 pm, so this is an early-evening destination rather than a late-night one. Pair it with dinner at the E&O's restaurant or walk a few minutes to Upper Penang Road to continue the night at a louder venue.

Colonial elegance at its finest inside the E&O Hotel. The dark wood panelling, leather armchairs and attentive service transport you to another era. The signature Planter's Punch (RM35) is smooth and perfectly spiced.

Not a club in the traditional sense — more of a sophisticated lounge bar. The whisky selection is outstanding with over 50 single malts. Live piano music in the evenings adds to the refined atmosphere.

Dressed up for an evening here and felt right at home. The E&O Martini is their house speciality and it was impeccable. The sea breeze drifting through the heritage building makes it feel timeless. Smart casual minimum.

Perfect venue for a special occasion. Prices reflect the five-star setting — cocktails RM35-55, wines by the glass from RM30 — but the experience justifies every ringgit. The Farquhar Gimlet with kaffir lime is superb.

The verandah seats overlooking the sea are the ones to ask for. We spent a quiet evening with gin and tonics watching ships pass. Not the cheapest night out but easily one of the most elegant in Penang.
