Penang

Penang's capital, George Town, is a UNESCO World Heritage city with a strong British colonial heritage, and its pub scene reflects that. Look for British-style bars in restored shophouses around Love Lane and Chulia Street, and relaxed expat pubs near the beaches of Batu Ferringhi and Tanjung Bungah.

Penang is also one of Malaysia's great food destinations, so many pubs pair a pint with excellent local dishes alongside pub classics.
