Such a pity that there are empty shop/store and there is not much crowd despite it is located in a very strategic location. This mall is relatively new and clean compared to komtar ICT and Prangin mall next to it. At level 2, there are connection to walk over to Komtar & Prangin mall. But there is nothing much there. You will still manage to get some retails such as H&M, Starbucks, electronics store,cinema and F&B outlets here in 1st Avenue mall. If you want to have a walk nearby Penang road or the heritage site, you may also consider to park here. The parking rate is consider very reasonable.

Another attempt to revive a mall next to the bus hub squalor that KOMTAR presides over with brands like H&M and Starbucks may yet succeed when Village Grocer opens here by their own undoing as only the post pandemic incoming tourists can afford such prices. No locals here, living off the streets since being evicted from their UNESCO zone abodes can be served anything other than the free aircon air that cools their sweaty unwashed bodies. No less comfort offered for over a decade under the noses of a corrupt feudal State that has sidelined affordable homes for the coffers of cronies building ever more unattainable edifices, the next mega development at Burmah Square over former squatter and servant housing. Such is the irony of our social conscience, a dilemma of our own foolish electoral choices. After all, we have been taken for fools by fancy rhetoric spewed out from above by those small minded who lord over us.

Great mall although it has its share of unoccupied units, it still has a good mix of dining options (but the FoodCourt is not open.....yet???) and retail therapy.....our favorite pastime ..... window shopping ...... this mall is undergoing some reno in the upper floor....

One of the new mall in the town Easy to find and park. Many retail shops,restaurants and other businesses are located inside. Good place to hang around.

Underdogs. When they organize event in main hall, it's phat (for kids). Quiet.

Great shopping place, but not many brands. There's Village Grocer on the basement from where you can buy grocery. There's a food court upstairs. Thera also a movie hall. This connects with Komtar and Prangin Mall.

Love to shop at 1st Avenue Mall and have beautiful Christmas decoration... Nice.

1st Avenue Mall. Is a good Mall but not perfect as its not containing all the needs of markets including clothes or restaurants. In addition its area is really small as compared to other competitors like QueensBay Mall.. Although it has special department for computers with good prices.. I really recommend to visit if one wants to buy goods regarded computers.

Went on a Sunday afternoon, and it wasn't crowded. In fact many empty or closed shop lots in the mall, unfortunately. Perhaps the recession has affected many vendors. Anyway the mall is big and clean, and there are several restaurants and shops open for business.

Excellent shopping experience especially Moo balloon.

Great mall . Nice decoration. Many eateries and shops. Can get clothes and accessories, CNY goodies - - cookies, decoration items, hampers.

I really like this mall, it is well kept and clean, and quite calm environment inside especially compared to Komtar and Prangin Mall. The less crowd is a plus considering that it is located right in the middle of Georgetown city centre. They have quite a number of famous outlets like Starbucks, Parkson, Texas Chicken and the only A&W in Penang. There is also TGV cinema at the 8th floor. You can also view the city from the Pavilion View Deck.

This shopping mall is located in the heart of Georgetown, clean and bright, with good multi-storey car parking system. Decent choices of outlets for all age categories

I went shopping spree here. Many cheap shoe store. Not too crowded on weekend

Please remember bring your touch 'n' go card or debit/credit cards to pay for your parking fee, make sure top up your touch 'n' go card, if your touch 'n' go card amount less than 10 ringgit.

1st Avenue Mall is a shopping mall in George Town, Penang, Malaysia. It is located at Magazine Road, next to Komtar and Prangin Mall, and is linked to both buildings via overhead bridges.

It'd be always the first preference to visit first avenue whenever came to Komtar without fail. It's the best avenue actually for enitre commercial commodities of brand's outlets with good ambiences of entire George town at top Open Area to view full coverage of Georgetown 😍😍😍 Great time to be spend on weekends.Definitelt it would be a gem of Georgetown Area..especially should given a good marks for the spacious car Park allotments up-to 8 th floor with elevator and lift simultaneously to avoid crowd well planned Built-in Mall actually it's.

Despite being 8 floors (3 for parking), the store variety in the mall is a bit lacking. There are some grocers and stores available, and a guardian present. I tried Empire Sushi for the first time here, it’s so good and so cheap 😭 We also decided to check out the cinema and watched Thanksgiving at the cinema for RM19 (not as cheap as JB but well.) There’s also a small arcade where you can try your hand and old school arcade games.

Wonderful shopping and eatery place. Some shops like brand outlet, Padini and FOS sells reasonable price items. Old town white coffee have nice food too.

Well-stocked with consu,mables including pharma items.

Very good services n nice place to shop

A shopping mall like many. Not too much choice, nothing really special. Except the view on the top floor. Magnificent! (And free!).

A cool place to beat the hot afternoon sun in Penang. There are sufficient shops here to past the time such as H&M, Watson's, etc. Price is mid range. The toilets here though, are smelly...

It is a very good mall, clean , tidy but the toilets can be quite dirty and there is very little food options to pick from. But, other than it is a pretty good mall

Medium range shopping mall.Good parking facilities. Popular with office workers.

Every time I want to look for something, I will go here first because a lot of things I can find here. Such as gifts, place to eat, warehouse, shopping place. The inside also beautiful. The toilets is clean and comfortable. If the tourists or local tourists want to see how is Penang shopping mall, they should visit First Avenue because it is also one of the beautiful shopping malls in penang for me.

A great shopping complex with varieties tenant. Enjoy your meal here at the ground floor and enjoy shopping. It is near KOMTAR in the city center. There are lots of parking spot inside the building and also outside it. It is connected to Perangin Mall with a covered bridge.

Nice place to hang out with family and friends.

Many shops closed down. The Village Grocer is not a good place to buy fruits and vegetables because too expensive. It is unsuitable for low and middle income families. I want Aeon Supermarket open at First Avenue! And why the food court like a deserted place? Please think of the demand and expectations of consumers and create a future plan.

The place is great, shops and stores are clean, cinema is comfortable but can be improved by keeping the air con on. Toilets are constantly being cleaned. Although, I spot a number of gropers. But oh well, have a nice day🤗

Who coming to 1st Avenue Penang shopping, pls do not ask or buy anything from this shop, this staff very rude..

Decent mall if you're looking for high end stuff. There is also a Village Grocer in the basement, along with some snack franchises and a bakery. There are Link Bikes right in front of the H&M, as well as enough space to ride them on the pavement.

16/11/22 8th floor penang view deck 13/01/23 2nd floor customer seating resting space 07/04/23 coffeebot near konrar interlink 08/04/23 7 eleven at 2 floor got a variety of instant noodles

It’s just a simple mall located near Komtar. As of now, a lot of shops have been closed down. Restaurants are limited, food choices are not much but it is still okay. It’s a perfect place if you’re shopping for clothes, sports apparel, electronic devices or groceries. The cinema is located at the top floor and sometimes exhibitions are held at the empty space on the top floor.

I visited this shopping mall primarily because of the Mr. D.I.Y outlet, but I must say there are other high-quality tenants, including various shops, fast-food restaurants, and a cinema in the mall as well. Although the mall isn't very large, I believe it should be sufficient to serve the surrounding population of George Town.

Diejenigen, die in einer gepflegten Umgebung essen wollen, sei der Foodcourt in der 4. Etage in der 1st Avenue Mall empfohlen. Etwa 15 kleine Restaurants stehen zur Auswahl.

The nearest shopping mall to Penang Cruise Centre. It had large variety of shops, restaurants and ambient atmosphere fro short Penang stopover. Good place if you do not to wander far from the cruise ship.

This mall is newer, compared to the ones nearby. There is a supermarket in the basement level. This mall is not very but it has what u might need.

Best shopping mall in Penang.. Many choices with reasonable price n offers with discounts on going now

Another shopping mall besides KOMTAR building...not too huge but just great to stroll around. Among top shoplots there are H&M, Brand Outlet, Parkson, Guardian, Seoul Garden, Texas Chicken, A&W, Sushi King, Starbucks and etc. There is connection bridge to KOMTAR building at level 4/5...not sure which level.

The most upscale yet smallest mall among the trio of Komtar, Prangin Mall and 1st Avenue Mall converged in the centre of George Town city centre. Lots of choices for clothing, drugstore essentials, mobiles, 2 do it yourself outlets, a cinema, no fuss casual dining places, even gourmet coffee with the choice of Pacific Coffee, Fortiga, Starbucks and PBC short form for Penang Best Coffee. Food Avenue offers lots of choices of local and foreign dishes. 1st Avenue Mall also has the most well maintained toilets compared to its neighbours. The car park is well lighted, its surface coated with a pleasant to the eyes green paint that ensures good grip for tyres. The incline and descent up the car park ramp is also kinder to the tyres compared to the cheaper car park at Prangin Mall.Even though you are charged RM 1 per hour, it is better on the tyres and brakes if you visit the vicinity often.

First 7 Eleven at shopping mall in Penang

Nice place to go for shopping, least choice of F&B outlets. However, their food court offers variety of foods range at affordable prices.

Linked to Prangin and komtar. easy access

Nice place for hang out and shopping. Can find whatslever you needs too.

Connected ICT mall and Prangin Mall. Good to go while during pandemic. Cause less people.

boring place, need to check temprature n scan mysejahtera each shop although hve done when entering mall, RM3 parking first 2 hours kinda expensive

(Translated by Google) Nice place! Like to go to his theater (Original) 不错的地方！喜欢去他的戏院

Generally the stores are below average. The food court had the worst tasting food compared to most places! A number of rude hawkers who care about only money and not quality or tastes of food. Never visiting this place again.

Parking price has gone down which is a plus point for the mall. Nice Christmas deco!

(Translated by Google) Okay (Original) 还行

It's RMCO in December and people are not complying to SOP...not even their staff. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I remember back when the mall was constructed that this was billed as the Gurney Plaza for town centre dwellers, one which would make Prangin mall and KOMTAR great again. It's disappointing coming back after 10 years away that it couldn't attract the top retailers that are present in Gurney Plaza and Queensbay Mall. Not a lot of quality food choices and the food court is a far cry from the rich selection of the two aforementioned malls. Presence of Parkson is a plus but I noticed that the selection is way less than the one in Gurney Plaza. Overall it's a good visit during the pandemic since it's emptier than other malls.

Mcm² adooo... Shopping n mkn²....best²

Inside the mall... no rimmel brand in this watson

We waited almost 30mins for the fried Kway Teow. Personally I think it's much better than the others I have tried in Penang because it's the only one with the "wok smell/taste". The Uncle speaks relatively good English too. Ask for duck eggs.

The only mid-upscale shopping mall in Georgetown city centre

Modern shopping complex. You could all the big names for clothing like, H&M, Esprit, Parkson....etc.

As usual good stuff for members

Good place to buy shaver

But not customer at all the sit also not good at all

We had and event at Empire Hotel. Very good place and services.

Variety of products, quality and reasonable prices. There's a loyalty card which allows customers to redeem the points earned in every purchase. And you can find Watsons everywhere.

My favourite store is at Vantage Point, Jelutong Penang. Staffs are friendly. Wide range of items to choose from. Environment is conducive. Once inside you won't feel like going out as there's so many products to browse.

Very bad attitude from the staff of Huawei Store in First Avenue. Not helpful when asking for help regarding Huawei band purchased from another Huawei store. Staff said will not help if Huawei products were not purchased from their store. Are all Huawei stores the same? Terrible service!

Good place

Very rude staff. Not friendly at all but wonder how she has got a name tag as senior customer assistant (Ms Shikin). She think we are unable to pay. We came here to purchase not asking everything for free. When we were asking about the items and discount in more details she just mention to buy if we want if not she can just cancel the product. Terrible customer service. Not suitable to be a senior.

Vitamin shopping when have sale.

Your typical local drug store

Okay

Nice

So so，Watson is Watson 。

A racist store who treats races differently. Sorry to say this, but may I ask why did you guys purposely do this? Why did you guys treat Malay as if they are dangerous? If you can check your CCTV on 28 May 2020 around 1830, you should explain what is going on...

My favorite personal care outlet

My favorite place

(Translated by Google) Very nice (Original) Bagus

you buy stuff here

Good stuff

Normal cosmetics and medical services

(Translated by Google) I do not remember if I visited it (Original) لا اذكر ان زرته

Personal hygiene one- stop shop/store

Nice mall, lots of brands and variety, convenient to walk over to adjacent malls via the link bridge

Nice shopping mall. Clean, well maintained and well lit. Unfortunately, the current MCO has caused many outlets to close, hopefully temporarily.

WELCOME TO PENANG!!! PENANG NICE PLACE, NICE FOOD. PENANG FOOD NUMBER 1 IN ASIA...

Parking fee too expensive. Just came for blood donation only

A modern shopping mall in the heart of Georgetown with numerous outlets of food, fashion, cinema, lifestyle, etc. It is just behind the Komtar building. It is easily accessible by public transportation

Good mall,easily we can spend time there along with Cinema. Good coffee shops like Pacific, Starbucks , Penang old town along with that Texas Chicken, Chicken Rice Shops are there Bought luggage trolley, bags, dresses etc in this mall.

Went to D.I.Y.So many things available here.Many choices to choose from.

Among one of the best shopping experience in Georgetown area

I love to shopping here during pandemic.. less people come here, I feel more secure to go here

Great mall sandwiched between the legendary komtar and prangin mall. You can find great deals at the shops here

I love this place becuae is quite convenient to shop especially there a lot store that offers quality products

Mall nice place and easy parking...solat level 5, banyak shop offer less... especially branded pattern

A lot of shops. Even got diy. Got cinemas.

The STAFF OF VIVO IS NOT GOOD AND SERVICE IS ALSO NOT GOOD!I WANT TO CLAIM MY BIOMETRIX FINGERPRINT THATS WAS PROBLEM AND THE STAFF SAY CANNOT CLAIM WARANTY,BUT BEFORE THATS I WAS CALL AND WAS TOLD DID NOT HAVE TO BE CHARGE BECAUSE MY WARANTY IS ACTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER AND WHEN I GO,THE STAFF SAY CANNOT CLAIM WARANTY AND MUST TO PAY RM45,I ASK WHY AND THEY SAY THE TOOLS IS NOT IN WARANTY.I WAS THINKING THATS HAS BE CHEATING AND WANT TO PLAY WITH MONEY,HOW I WANT TO COMPLAINT&WANT TO GET ARE JUSTICE?!

Some shops closed..maybe because of deepavali holiday...but I'm not sure

Has both Mr Diy and EasyHome next to each other. Convenient to get your home deco or home improvement stuff here.

Not many shops open. Quite hard to find the surau. Surau located at the parking.

great! got many restaurants here. but it will be great if they got supermarket here to buy some groceries and fruits.

Good shopping mall. Many shops closed

One of the best shopping mall in Georgetown,clean and hygiene environment as you can find hand sanitizer located outside the toilet. You can find almost everything here from food , clothing etc

A nice mall located at the centre of georgetown.. U can chill, shopping, eating or just enjoy the scenery of penang from their 8th floor..

Worth a visit, but many shop lots have already closed down due to its decreasing popularity.

I love the design and vibrant vibes this mall gives. Definitely a place for me to come to. Has an arcade here (although very small and limited to variety). Lots of places to eat and buy clothes similar to Prangin Mall. Highly Recommend visiting here.

Gigantic and landmark mall in Georgetown. Close to many other attractions. Wide range of stores with reasonable prices. Great maintenance. Festive times are special...

We went there on a weekday night for buka puasa and there was not many people around. The parking was easy and we like the transparent elevator with outside view. Easy to navigate.

Nice mall. Brand Outlets and premium brands representation.

It's clean and big but there's isn't much to do not there's is a proper food selection. Good enough to watch a movie and chill for an afternoon.

Visited on Monday morning, not crowded at all! Glad to see most outlets are still around, nice place to hang out for whole day here.

The shopping mall is nice, variety of shops but nappy changing room is totally disappointing. I had to wipe few times with wet tissue as the place looks sticky,dirty and just concrete type table top.

Nice mall to walk around..shopping and eat

Medium size mall. Got karaoke, a cinema, food court, restaurants, sport shops, clothing shops, and many other shops. The place is quite a high end area for me so the stuffs sold also feels kinda expensive but it's in the middle of the city right. Toilets was okay, clean, spacious. Parking for cars also ample but not below ground, it's above ground.

Would not recommend if you're hoping to buy clothes here. There are maybe a handful of clothing shops and a lot of stores are still vacant. There does, however, appear to be a decent number of food options available.

This mall is awesome. The stores are current and presentable. Lots of food options. The theater was great. The theater facilities were cleaning, the seats were very comfortable and the sound system was awesome.

Quite a good and clean mall after pandemic, the shops are getting better and done more news shops are coming. Only have basic fast food chain, but not good restaurant style good.

Clean, bright, empty..pretty much still the same...so very quiet when we were there 810pm...looks like most of the malls are designed more for tourists. Good thing is most of the units are occupied. Hopefully things will get better soon.

Good place for shopping, but sad to see quite many well known restaurants and shops are permanently closed. Especially Baskin Robbins , and at the cinema area, there's not much food to choose. We love ice cream and would love to see more ice-cream and dessert stores around. A place to hang out before movie or to rest our legs, especially for elderly.

It's a domestic shopping mall for the sale of local merchandise. The place is crowded with shops selling all sorts of things. It seems this mall is the electronics market for Penang residents. There are local restaurants, but they were all closed when we arrived around 2:00 pm. The only restaurants open were Burger King and McDonald's. The clothes looked cheap and not worth the effort to get to the mall. It was a very disappointing experience.

Love this mall as it connected to several mall around even our target actually only the empire sushi

Limted selection of shops and 4th floor has no food as stated. There are some fast food in the basement and that's it. We came here to watch movies also. Elevator is convenient and offers nice view over the city

Mr DYI, fabulous shop with hardware and houseware. Bigger than a supermarket in Australia. Massive range, low prices. It's hard not to buy too much. Picture plus lots of other things.. no more pics..

the place is very nice and has a variety of shops that you can choose from and may have special occasions or hot sale on the lower ground floor

Strategic location - Near Komtar which is the bus station of Penang Island - Near souvenirs shop, roughly 5-min walking distance - Near hotels, e.g. Shangri-la hotel

Nice place for shopping in Penang, many shops, few international brands. The place in general is nice and comfortable.

Car park can take ticket or use Touch n' Go. Easy to park. Very neat design. One of the best car park in Penang. Toilets in the mall are suck. Always got flies stick on the wall. Bad smell. Toilet paper always finished. Toilet floor is wet. Many mirrors on the washing hand area. Can check back hair. There is also full body mirror available. Many slots are empty. Not convenient enough to come shopping.

Totally impressed with the CNY walk 2024, really a well organized event for family and friends during CNY 2024. Reasonable price for nice race pack, super cute medal, great MC, exciting lucky draws and etc. Great job 1st Avenue mall for organizing such a fabulous for local penangites and tourists ❤️❤️❤️🧧🧧🧧
