Magazine 63 天下第一客棧 @ Jalan Magazine, Georgetown, Penang
Haven't step into a bar in a really long time, so we went to this amazing speakeasy, hidden bar which they have a few in Penang. They said on Jalan Magazine there are some and we couldn't really find it because its a hidden cafe. So our friends that arrived early went to the hidden bar next door instead because the music was booming so loud so thought it was that Hahaha. So in the end is this one la alright that we wanted to go to.
It looks like it's nothing from the front, but once you walk pass the steel gates, there's a door you can push in, thankfully people were going in and out here so you guys can see. Then there's another door you walk into, so that is why we couldn't hear any noise.
And BOOM! AMAZING.
Super love the oriental design. It's so cina I love it so muchhhhhhhhhhh. Haha.
Oh yea and the DJ is upstairs DJ-ing lah.
It's a pretty long bar and I really salute Penang on keeping their Heritage Buildings so well maintain.
Magazine 63 MENU
Way too many choices, and you feel like trying them all Oh gosh.
女儿红 Nv Er Hong - RM 98/Jar
Beer, Sweet and Sour, Rum, Vodka, Gin, Curacao, and Tequila.
So basically all the alcohol you know all mix in together hah.
It's really good though, and one jar can fill up to 6 bowls.
Made us think we are in the olden days sipping alcohol from the bowl like how they do it in the movies hahaha.
Donut 五郎八卦棍 - RM 38
London Dry Gin, Jagermeister, Charcoal Bamboo Powl, Lemon, Pineapple, Dry Ginger Ale.
So much going on and it doesn't disappoints!
Invincible East 东方不敢 - RM 38
Pineapple, Melon, Coconut and Blue Curacao.
The coconut taste is strong in this one. The flake of the coconut is a lot so can't really taste much of the pineapple and melon, but if you sip too fast, the alcohol does go straight up.
Gin and Tea - RM 38
Gin, Osmanthus tea and Lemon
This is the ultimate girl's favourite drink! If you love the smell of osmanthus tea, you'll definitely love this.
Overall, not a bad place at all!
Even though the price is a bit high but they do mix a lot of things to the drinks.
And it is a bit loud inside so not really suitable for groups to talk.
Cause we played games inside and we had to shout, everyone had a sore throat going back hahaha.
But yea, overall nice experience and my first hidden bar!
