Bar β€’ Pub

😐 Typical dark British style pub serving beverages and some food. 8 ball pool, food ball table and darts available. The food was ok. Smell of a bar which was a bit offensive and the sound system loud and erratic on some speakers. People often mention beer,

    Good pub offering beer promotions. Food is okay, but place a bit ran down. Staff are friendly.

    Very Quiet, not changed much since I last visited, except no Hienikin and prices have gone up...

    Rude customers. Rude staff. As a westerner I wouldn't bother going. Such a shame as it has the potential to be a nice local style pub.

    I had a drink with my bf here...the lady staff...(forgotten to ask for her name) she is very friendly and kind. Its a very nice bar despite an old one. Too bad we cant stay long as the bar was about to close at midnight. Their website should update for the closing time as I thought it will be close at 3am. 😊😊

    Pleasant old school pub style bar. Friendly staff team. Been around for 20+ years? Has both GAB and Carlsberg brands available which is unique?

    Nice pub but since covid it is now very quiet. Not as happening as before. I went on a Friday evening and the place is kinda quiet and not as full as before. Still a nice place.

    Place a bit old as it may have seen better days previously. They serve beer (both draught and bottles), wine, liquor and food. Majority of customers are in their 60s and I guess they hang out there to reminisce their younger days and keeping their memories intact by visiting their favorite drinking pub. It's a good past time to catch up with their friends and buddies.

    You can have draft guinness!!! Music is loud so if you want chit chat, sit outside better.

    It’s a normal pub. There have a little bit customers.

    I personally quite like this place. It's alcohol prices are on par with most of George Town and it has a nice old English pub vibe. Wouldn't recommend for kids and didn't try the food but for a few pints and a game of pool, it's a small taste of England if you've been away from home for a few months. Went several times during our stay as its one of few places with a pool table and modern music in the area.

    The three times I had drank here, they served me watered down beer. I confronted them on my second visit and was told that that's how Guinness draught tasted. I've been drinking Guinness draught for a solid decade. I know a watered beer when I taste one. The third time I brought my drinking buddies from out of town to verify it. That was my last visit.

    Nice Guiness Stout beer served here. Also have other beers like Tiger, Heineiken, Carlsberg and Kilkenny. Food is also served from lunch till dinner where kitchen opens till 11pm. Nice slow and jazz music but mostly depends on the DJ playing on the day. Pool table available and nice to hang-out with friends on weekend to watch EPL matches while sipping a pint of beer

    I may not be a fair judge to this place, as it might have better days and nights. My friends told me about this legendary Soho tavern in Penang, the crazy nights, the music, the ambiance. What I just saw is a worn out memory of what it was. We had some drinks and left. We didn't want to live in the past.
