The Penang cocktail scene has been going from strength to strength over the last couple of months, with the success of the Penang Cocktail Week in September, and then culminating in Backdoor Bodega’s achievement of winning the World’s Best Cocktail Menu Award at the recent World’s 50 Best Bars event in Hong Kong on Oct 8.
Amid the havoc of Penang Cocktail Week in September, I managed to squeeze in a few tastings of the regular drinks at some Penang bars, including some that I had not visited in a while, as well as a few newer and underrated ones.
