    One of the best places to go for a chilled and rilexed night....exceptionally skilled bartenders, amazing food, and very affordable...their draught beers are by far the best I have tasted in penang and the environment and ambiance in kara kara can be compared to none...P.s., don't forget to try their speciality which is the " fly me to the moon" set where u have a combination of 3 to 4 types of shots served to you and as you're drinking it, you slide down their enormous slide....

    Good interior very instagramable place. This cafe is quite hiddenly inside a building. There is parking available infront of Kara kara. Just follow the sign board outside the main street and you can find the parking. Coffee is okay and the pop corn chicken is delicious. Not oily and its juicy.

    The place has a friggin indoor slide! Loud open lounge concept with great service and a unique range of drinks and finger food. Stylish decor and lively environment make for exciting parties and hearing difficulties, but still within conversational levels. A hyper hip club with chill vibes and great music choice, but then again my definition of hip is definitely dated. Great place for local Chinese population to hunt.

    love the lighting and music in the club! The djs were really good at dancing and absolutely made our nights, the food was good too, the drinks were reasonably priced too. Must try the cocktails! Service was amazing, hands down one of the greatest clubs in Penang

    I like the afternoon session but not the night session. The price is abit high compare to other cafe. A very special futuristic design. For the bar session is too noisy and the cocktails are too expensive.

    First time visit here, came for lunch. The price is medium high, but the foods taste are really good. The services can be improved. The staff said bar will be started at 7pm, and accept booking only.

    Kara Kara, a Retro-Futurism Concept Bar, and Dining located in Penang - Georgetown, is not only a great place for gatherings, but it also offers additional features that make it truly special. The presence of a talented DJ, adds an energetic and vibrant atmosphere to the venue. The DJ's music selection creates a lively ambiance, perfect for enjoying drinks and socializing with friends. Another noteworthy aspect is that Kara Kara is a pet-friendly establishment. This means that we can bring along our furry babies to there! Which is perfect for me to spend quality time with my kids while enjoying the fantastic food and drinks. Kara Kara has also recently launched a new menu. The menu includes a variety of options such as donburi bowls, sharing platters, sharing cocktails, and unique cocktails. And not to say that they also provide warm and friendly service that fit in the vibes! Kara Kara a must-visit destination whenever you visit Penang! ๐Ÿ–ค

    Great food, great customer service, dynamic beats and cocktails with a difference. The place changes the vibe as the evening progresses, definitely a different way of operation, but we enjoyed ourselves.

  • 5/5 Alanis L. 9 months ago on Google
    The place is dope af! Great food, music and vibes โœจ Perfect place for a weekend hangout and party spot in Penang Island! The staffs are very helpful and friendly! There's plenty of spot to park right in front of the shop (it's hard to get parking spot in penang tho)

    Club in a garage kinda vibe, the lady who served us is super friendly. We ordered popcorn chicken and pizza, both taste really good. Funny encountered we had with their Heineken beer promotion. So we started off with a bucket, on our last bottle in fact weโ€™re all ready to order a new bucket, then these Heineken lady promoters came and said each of us can get a bottle of Heineken beer for free if we join their event by registering our email address. We were in a group of 4 and was like, 4 free bottles, why not? So we finished all 4 bottles only to realised they gave us dealcoholised beer instead, ie 0.01% alcohol level. What a mood killer, we actually went back hotel after that. And also because the DJโ€™s tracks are really boring, literally playing songs and not his own mix. Songs like BP Jisooโ€™s Flower. ๐Ÿซ

    I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kara Kara, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was captivated by its modern and stylish decor. The ambiance was inviting, with a perfect blend of sophistication and warmth. In conclusion, dining at Kara Kara was a true delight. The impeccable flavors, exceptional service, and inviting ambiance combined to create a memorable culinary journey. If you are seeking a restaurant that offers an exquisite fusion of flavors and a pleasant dining atmosphere, I highly recommend visiting Kara Kara.

    I love this place after being recommended by my local friend. They have chic and cool settings. I came here three times in weeknights, Friday nights, and during daytime. They all got different vibes, such an instagramable place. Amy, the manager, and the other staffs were being so nice to us. She gave us free shots. As a party monster, I recommend to come here on Friday night to party here with youngsters. Otherwise, during week days they do live Chinese songs, which is totally new to me as a non Chinese speaker. I also like their zen cafe vibe during daytime too.

  • 5/5 Caning A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very unique cafe & bar! ๐Ÿ˜. Really impressive futurism design inspired by science fictions films provide you with a cool sense of relaxation when you enter the premise. Their menu is quite affordable with coffee, cakes and even pizza are the main attractions to grab. Their cocktails are very well presented and tasty as well. If you come by day it will feel more like a cafe but if you arrive at night the outlet transformation is magical with the turn on of their neon lights . It feels you are having cakes in a disco club! ๐Ÿ˜€. Really unique experience of its kind. It is a must visit in Penang! ๐Ÿ˜๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

    Great cafรฉ vibes. Worth visiting and try out their coffee soda. It's unique and refreshing especially during a hot day. Visited around late afternoon and it's quite crowded but there wasn't any queue. Kara Kara does serve alcohol as well.

    Love the concept of this place. Totally express the retro-futurism spirit. Yotta and Zen session are both impressive!

    Evening bar visit: Pretty expensive cocktail sellection โˆผ RM50, taste wise is average. Reservation is required for evening. Visited on a Saturday night, the crowds are younger around 18-20+, personally I'm too old for it. Basically I'm just there to witness the half statue from the wall.

    Futuristic themed. Loud noises as how you'd expect it to be. Had 2 drinks to be around (RM 76?) Not really a fan of alcohol, was there for the snaps. Maybe another visit during it's lunch hours.
