    We only discovered this place by walking by and hearing the live music from the outside. The bar is a lot of fun. The owner Kalvin puts on a live band for everyone to dance to every Sunday afternoon. The locals and owner were incredibly friendly and by the time we left we’d spoken to everyone. The beer is also really cheap! Highly recommended.

    Quiet little hidden bar above Lebuh Melayu with a regular open mic music scene. Frequented by some amazing musicians, this joint is a stone's throw away from the busy bustle of Love Lane. Food menu is limited, but they've got all the decent drinks to help you unwind. Decor is simple but effective and the staff are nice and friendly.

    Such a cool vibe. I came during salsa night. The owner was so open and friendly traveling around to everyone like he knew all of us personally. Calvin is the best 👌

    This is a place that epitomizes authenticity - be it the food with its palatable home-made fusion recipes, or the live music at its finest, or simply the amazing company and homely vibes exuding from the people here, it makes for an amazing experience. To me, what makes this place stand out is the close-knit community that has been formed here. While I was taking photographs of D'Loovi's, a young gentleman walked in, and multiple times was he greeted cheerfully with the same question - 'How was Langkawi?!'. Everyone in D'Loovi's knew him; everyone pretty much knew each other. They laughed like old buddies, shared their stories; it was a very pleasant vibe. In time, others coming in D'Loovi's joined the throng. Musicians, office workers, and people of various occupations made this a welcoming community. The owner of this place, by the name of Kelvin D'Loovi, makes for a most friendly and genuine person. I enjoy music thoroughly, and I love how the violin is prominently displayed here (I am a violinist myself). The music sensation is strong, where musicians often gather here for live performances. Reading the reviews online, live music is often mentioned to be amazing here. I sadly have yet to experience the music scene here, as the Movement Control Order due to COVID-19 has had the wings of fellow musicians clipped. That will have to be an experience for another time. For dinner, I was recommended the home-cooked mutton rendang - and boy, it was impeccably prepared. Simply superb. Kelvin himself ensures that the dishes served are up to standard. When I requested for no Cole-slaw, he whipped up stir-fried vegetables with bitter gourd, and that, surprisingly, perfectly complemented the mutton rendang. As I previously mentioned, this place serves home-made fusion recipes at its finest. I don't at all drink alcohol, but the non-alcoholic beverages were splendid. Fresh juices and mocktails are readily available. They're constantly coming with new ideas for their menu, and I was recommended the vanilla milkshake. A little bit on the sweet side, but still, kudos to the innovation the team here has. D'Loovi's is beautifully designed. It boasts a majestic exterior of what looks to be grand pillars, with an entrance seemingly hidden to the eye. Enter the door and you behold an epiphany of colours, music instruments, and trinkets placed in an orderliness that complements the vibes of this place. I have a strong aversion towards cigarette smoke (being a doctor, oh well), and I love how the interior of D'Loovi's is a non-smoking area. Should one wish to smoke (which of course, I would discourage), there is an allocated balcony outside which comprises of an artfully designed garden. If you are into great live music, or into finding communities as such, this is the place to be at. Authentic music, authentic food, authentic people - that's D'Loovi's.

    We spent a couple of wonderful evenings at D'Loovi's. I found it by looking for a bar where they know how to make cocktails. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, Kelvin knocked 'em outta the park. His specialty Mojito was the best I've had in years! Then, throw in a comedy show, live music, personalized service, excellent home-style cooking, and a great vibe..... well, you can see why we became regulars during our stay! Thanks for the great times Kelvin!!

    Highly recommended!! Have you ever dance and sing your heart out? Cause i definitely did here in D'loovis. Spent the new year eve here in penang for the first time with my family and we were looking for bands that play oldies songs. Our relatives brought us here and we enjoyed every bit of the company of the people there whom are very friendly and nice. The live band plays really good songs and are very engaging that you can't resist not dancing. I would definitely come back again if I'm ever in penang.

    Had a great night, really chill owners, would definitely go back (probably will later this week). I went for a comedy show, and it was great to see them supporting local talent. They had a band on the following night, but I could make that. Will go back.

    Loved this place! Such a great vibe and really big space with live music stage area. It also has an amazing balcony covered in plants and greenery, a very chilled space. The owner Kelvin is a great guy, so hospitable and a great chef. Couldn’t recommend this bar more if you’re in Georgetown.

    Great k pop place and karaoke place. Smokers welcome and there is a special room. Go for the sunset insta photos (kelvin is an excellent insta photographer) and stay for the tigers. Make sure you wear a loud shirt to get bar access. Closed means open just walk in and say you have arrived. Try to get there for the fish feeding popular with the tourists. Special place with a legend barman!

    D'Loovi's is excellent. The food is fantastic--Kelvin's rendang will blow you away. Great place for music: local bands and musicians from out of town, as well as regular dances. My favorite haunt in Penang. This is also a venue where musicians can present original material!

    Having spent quite a bit of time in Penang this year I was in dire need of finding some place with great food and a relaxing welcoming environment. D’Loovi’s exceeded all expectations. I arrived past dinner time on Jazz night and was promptly greeted by the owner Kelvin who told me I could still get a lamb burger which is what I came for so I was content. Little did I know I was about to have the best burger I’ve ever eaten! I’m not a Jazz fan but the music was phenomenal and drew a nice crowd. Great place to come whether your solo or with a group. If you’re looking for a jam packed music blasting pub this isn’t the place, but for the rest of you it’s definitely worth checking out.

    DON'T MISS D'LOOVI'S!! What a terrific find in George Town. Cold beer, delicious cocktails, soju, D'Loovi's has it all!! And prices are crazy reasonable to keep you coming back! (Tiger, 12rm!) Kelvin, the owner, will be there to greet you with a warm Penang welcome. My wife and I are travelers, hang out here frequently and Kelvin has become a super friend to us. Come meet other locals and tourists alike. If you are a traveler, Kelvin knows George Town and the best places to eat, and must things to see and do. And if that's not enough, stop on Sunday, usually from 3-6, for a live band and dancing. Often on Thursday nights you will find game board night. Check Facebook for current updates and added fun weekly. You never know what might be happening at D'Loovi's!

    This is an excellent laid-back spot with good vibes and cozy decor. Music, food, and beer with a comfy mezzanine inside and a garden balcony outside. Also, it's the only place in George Town I know of that does a midday Sunday session really well.

    Cool bar with an awesome balcony view. The owner is friendly as well. A friend introduced this place to me and I absolutely love it. Even though I don't drink, there are non-alcoholic options. Great place to chill and just forget your worries, even for a short while.

    Soll einer sagen, ein Burger mit Schweinefleisch schmeckt nicht. Der Hammer. Wenn der Chicken- und der Lammburger genau so gut ist, gehe ich nie mehr weg. Gibt natürlich auch anders. Und das im günstigen, Preissegment. Bier, Drinks und auch Wein. Was das Herz begehrt.

    Go to D'Loovi's to find your home away from home! There are few places I would go to and feel immediately comfortable and relaxed, D'Loovis is one of them! Kelvin does a great job at keeping thr atmosphere friendly and relaxed. Go visit tonight!

  • 5/5 Suzie 9 months ago on Google
    A hidden gem in Penang! Actually found this bar through Google and we were not disappointed. Lovely hosts that make you feel like you’re in a home from home, we spent our last night there too having drinks with the owners. Nice relaxed vibe, live music and different events throughout the week. Large array of drinks and home cooked food available too. Thank you Kalvin and Felicia for making our Penang visit so memorable ❤️

  • 5/5 gorgeous .. 3 years ago on Google
    Food is good. We had claypot curry fish head, sweet prawns, and a siew yok aka roast pork. all of them were delicious. During RMCO they only open until 12am, and they have open mic on sunday. Come and enjoy the food and some alcohol if you're in penang. They uave a balcony where u can chill with nature air and loads of greens. You won't regret.

    Five stars for the band I saw, and small cafe experience with cheap drinks and good service. Well worth checking out, nice how Penang does this so well in these tiny little cafes, relaxed and friendly vibe.
