Penang Cocktail Week (PCW2024) returns for the second year running featuring local and international guest bartenders in various events, bars and hotels across the city of George Town, Penang.
Over 80 local and international guests (Singapore, Indonesia, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, UK, Australia, Philippines) will be featured across the city. Among the internationally renown bars that will be coming are: Coa (Hong Kong), Jigger & Pony (Singapore), Maybe Sammy (Sydney), Vender (Taichung) and The Haflington (Hanoi).
Epic Takeovers!
Over 40 guest shifts in 8 days! Full list here. It is highly recommended to RSVP by buying entry tickets to secure a sitting spot (it's only RM38 and includes a guest shift drink). There are already sessions which have been full booked but walk-ins are still allowed (as long as the bar still has the capacity).
Plus - An entire contingent of Malaysian bars and bartenders from KL and JB will be "invading" Penang bars on 5 Sep (Thurs) - click here for the Malaysia Invasion details. Jom support!
This is followed by a Taiwan "takeover" by 7 Taiwanese bars - Moger, HiBoRu, Wa-Shu, Bar Lonely, Book Ing, Vender & Tender across the city - click here for the Taiwan Takeover details.
