The 20 best bars and drinks in Kinta District

Came here for couple of drinks. Ordered a tower, 2 cocktails and a mocktail. The mocktail was nice. The tower was decent. Disappointed with the cocktails. Tasted watered down and not so much flavor. Even though we ordered passionfruit mojito and piña colada. Environment wise. Outside sitting was better as the live band was too loud. Ear piercing music. Someone should look into the balance of sound. They were almost screaming into the mic. Hence we had to just sit outside after attempted to sit inside for 1 minute. Songs selection was great. Just cannot stand the volume. Too much treble i think. Service …… mmmm…. The waiter had to repeat so many times to reconfirm the order and can yet miss out some. Go in and come back reconfirm. Maybe can take note on paper instead.

Bricks and Barrels offers a great ambience where you can truly relax and unwind. The live band does an excellent job of entertaining guests, effortlessly playing requested songs and keeping the mood lively. However, the DJ's music was a bit too loud at times, possibly due to less skill in sound control and the venue's acoustics. Despite that, it remains a fantastic spot for weekenders looking to escape the hustle of the city and work stress. Overall, a great place to chill with good vibes!

Nice place, the bands there play remix pop song. Drinks are nice

Overpriced for what they offer. Food portion was ridiculously small, and definitely not worth the money. Please do spend some money come to bars in kl and learn!

Fun night here in ipoh Good band, DJ Friendly staff also Everything is great

Bricks and Barrels Perak is… an experience, though not in the way you’d hope. Imagine paying several times the price of a regular bar, only to be serenaded all night by the exact same Malay-style DJ playlist, on loop, as if variety were an optional extra. The crowd is predominantly Malay, which would be perfectly fine—if the atmosphere matched the price tag. Sadly, the “service” operates on the taxi model: once you’ve paid, the ride is over, and so is their interest in you. If your idea of nightlife in Perak involves overpaying for under-delivering, this might just be your dream spot. For everyone else, there are far better doors to walk through.

Went on a wednesday night Place relatively empty, Filipino live band playing with nice song choices Sat in the back (wanted a quieter environment). Relaxing and well-ventilated with lotsa greens in a garden like environment Soju bomb tower is pretty good Free cocktails for ladies on Wednesdays

Food is very nice. It goes very well with the drinks but I found it a bit too salty for my liking. Feels like they deliberately make it salty so we drink more. Price of the food is reasonable. Been to many places and their tower is filled 80%. Not sure am I spoiled by other establishments or the tower here is generally filled only 60% after the bubbles was gone. Perhaps they delivered it too late to us that why it look less? The photo of the tower was right after it was delivered to us before we drank any cup from it. Was truly dissapointed by this. Service is like ok. It is quite good compare to few pubs I been to in Ipoh but not the best. Been here before MCO and was impressed by the quality of food and drinks. But now it feels different. And most importantly the seating arrangements are terrible. The establishment isn't filled when we arrive. We are here to enjoy the live band but the seating need to be improved. The seating doesn't care about the audience. Few of us were seated back facing liveband and those facing the live band is partially blocked by the pillar. The sound system need to be improve as well. The singer voice is good but the sound system spoils it. Please improve on this.

The atmosphere is quite good near the stage area. Only the counter and the back and also upstairs are quite messy as this cafe isn't catching many patrons as expected. The entertainment area is also quite ok with a pool table(a bit worn) and electronic dart game. Food is all above average except ramen. The beers are a bit expensive for RM88 per bucket of small bottles of Carlsberg and the waitress only served the 1st pour. Live band a bit disappointed with the singer having pitching and also instrumental problem. Overall is still quite a good cafe but just need to brush up and do more improvements to gain back frequent patrons.

A good place to hang out with friends or even with your family members. Not so quiet and not too noisy. Live music/song available after 8.30am, but I am not sure if available daily. The food was good and delicious, but on the higher side.

A cool pub to chill out, have a cold beer, and eat some hearty pub food. I had a Euro pork burger for RM28. Bottled beers are RM22 to RM23 each. We loved the spicy popcorn chicken for RM15. Large serving, and it's popcorn chicken but (a bit) spicy. Not the usual popcorn chicken. At the entrance, a lady was making satay over a charcoal grill. Some patrons ordered the satay. It was a hilarious sight. If you want peace and quiet (like us), go before the live band starts at 8.30pm. Top marks for the elaborate Christmas decor! Well done!

I always come here whenever I visit Hatyai. Still taste as good.

Average. Food portion is huge. The german sausage does not taste right. There s life band performance but I won'r go back for the second time.

Indeed a great place to chill. Good food reasonable pricing. The live band was fantastic, very entertaining and very good. Will definately return whenever around the area. If only they have it on FB live for the very good performance.

This place used to be packed but suprisingly on CNY even it is pretty quiet.

Friendly service and cosy ambience. Food and beers were OK.

Never ever be CON-vince to order tis Pork Knuckle dish in CUT form. You will get the most terrible meats MIXED from other cookings, added on & served to U. How can you guys do biznes like tis…. M so disappointed, words can’t describe d. Check the bill below. All other f&b items on the bill are 👍 EXCEPT tis highly anticipated signature dish of yours!!!!! and V ordered 1.7kg serving since there r 4 of us😤 regret Regret regret…… oh Yes! Depending where U r seated. Ours? V have to go approach staff @ tap counter each time v want our Kilkenny out. Perhaps tis ipoh outlet’s p&l is so good, nothing matters d🤨 Good Luck & Good Bye🛑

The food portions are huge, and delicious too.

Extremely disappointed wt the quality and quantity of the cocktails. I expected better

Burger was ok, ribeye steak too, shepherds pie isn't really a shepherds pie since there shouldn't be any red sauce in it. Dessert was horribly meh. Service was bad, didnt actually ordered rib eye, costed us twice the amount than what we ordered. Do not recommend.

Went on a Monday evening for a beer and a snack. Guinness on draft is always nice and decent wings.

The food is really outstanding! Every meal we had was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. Specially thanks to Pathum for his warm hospitality and great service

located at the roof top of Weil hotel with unobstructed view of ipoh panorama view, great place for a drink and dinner. I tried the carbonara, nice and creamy cooked exactly how i want it

Taste of food is about average. Drinks could be a bit pricy. The menu choices during my visit was quite restricted. The ambiance is comfortable especially in the evening. The sunset view of Ipoh city which can be observed from the rooftop poolside is quite spectacular. SOP is observed. Recommended.

Guests at The Deck can look forward to dine-in indoors which provides a fun and stylish vibe, or the outdoor (at The Lawn or Pool deck area) which offers a more natural and intriguing dining experience. It also boasts a chic environment with a splendid day and night view of Ipoh. Prices of the menu selections here is relatively above average than general Ipoh eateries. Decor, ambience and environment completed the menu offerings.

Best Ipoh sky bar view, which is hard to find in Ipoh. The interior also looks good. But sadly the service here is really below average, long waiting time, wet seats after a rainfall and the staffs are not well trained to serve in a bar. I would rather blame the management. Hope Weil Hotel will do something to improve the service here. Instagram: theroytravels

We ordered mixed grill for 5pax, (big set) we are very disappointed with the food ，the portion is very small ,and it taste so so bad (overcooked). Can't believe portion of 5pax serves in 1pax portion. We asked whether the food was for 5 person, and he said yes. it cost rm 144 , it isn't worth buying it.

Food is average. Drink is okay. Need to get used to the dim lighting though. Pictures do not turn out well though as you can see.

Liked the place for its ambience and food. Reasonable and the char grilled mutton in the starter menu was to die for. The staffs were very friendly and attentive. It gets busier during the weekend, you may want to head over there around 7pm.

One of the worst club ever visit. Event the music speakers are not ON. Even people taking is more louder , Please change your title as restaurant

Food tastes average, price at the reasonable range. Staffs Service could be improved more attentive. Less crowded can tell from the kitchen staffs, playing mobile phone. Rooftop seating has closed, only ground floor open to public.

Had my football club’s anniversary here for the second time, love the atmosphere big enough to hold some function at upstairs. They organise the live band for us and some decorations too. Gotta try the lamb rack and wagyu, chef is absolutely amazing up to the details. They offer omakase meal too, talk to the chef 🧑‍🍳 Good food, nice music, well done 👍

Second visit Lamb really good Sweet potato chip yummy Beer really cold First visit I love the lamb and chicken wings It is delicious and well prepared with yummy taste Service awesome Beer is cold and chill Location great

Food was reaaaaallly delicious...worth every penny....their drinks is rich in mixture...mojito blew me off...pasta was perfect...band was good...pool was fun...a good place to hangout

Good food and good portion size, chill atmosphere. Didn't like the fact the rooftop is only open on specific days. If the rooftop area is only opened on specific days why even name your restaurant "Rooftop Restaurant and Bar" Besides that prices were as expected for a place like this but portions are good at least. I'd go again to try their other burgers and pasta for sure.

Food quality was amazing, we loved everything except some dishes..( personal preference) atmosphere and service is top ❤️

That sourdough from their 5 year old mother dough? Honestly, I could’ve just eaten that all night — crispy, fluffy, so addictive, and yes, they refill it (dangerous but glorious). The wagyu was melt in your mouth good, with mushrooms that almost stole the show. Amuse bouche felt like little edible surprises, one after another. The only “hmm…” moment was the tofu gelato, let’s just say it’s an acquired taste I haven’t acquired yet. Other than that, everything was a solid win!

Best meal I ever had. Truly delectable dishes every bite was simple so delicious. Even a simple sourdough bread was so good. Portions was good considering it is in a fine dining setting. My compliments to the chef. Service went above and beyond, special fallout to our trainee server Yohn even gave us a tour after dinner of the beautiful place and took photos for us!

Celebrating my 24th wedding anniversary there and comment as Food = not so sure as not very used to having fine dining else where but the food was nice and interesting. The main chef did also personally approach us towards the end to ask for our opinion about the food which shown they're really care about customers feedback. Environment = dine inside the cave with a nice and beautiful decorated and lighting every conner makes it really a rare experience. Service = I was mainly served by one Chinese young guy on internship ( can't remember his name) and he is really friendly and doing a very good job. The rest of the staffs was also great too. Verdict = the jeff cellar only served dinner set (min rm625 nett /pax and the prices is not considered cheap but with the top notch services by the team and accompanied by the very rare and beautiful dining surroundings which cant find it elsewhere, it is worth yr every penny. Btw, my wife loves and enjoyed it so much that evening. Tq so much to all the team members at JEFF'S CELLAR.

One of the best dining experience in a beautiful limestone cave. I could stare at it forever. Food was amazingly executed. The Wagyu beef was beautifully executed. Compliments to the chef. Staff was friendly and attentive.

The main draw to Jeff's Cellar is the unique experience of fine dining in a limestone cave. The set up is beautiful. We got the Prestige tasting menu which is the basic one for about RM600 per person without any wine pairing. Food was delicious. But I feel for the service could really have been fine tuned..it was a busy weekend night and the number of staffing couldnt quite keep up. Also the noise levels and music were quite loud. There were people with flip flops and baseball hats...all these things just added up and sort of ruined the fine dining experience.

Jeff’s Cellar is such a beautiful and romantic place for fine dining. The cave setting is stunning and the food was excellent. We had a small hiccup with a bottle of Chardonnay, as it was not the taste we expected. The situation took some time to resolve, but in the end the staff handled it well and even gave us complimentary champagne, which we really appreciated. Overall, the atmosphere, food, and service made it a very special evening. A must-visit in Ipoh!

This place has no signboard, and the door was locked when we've arrived. So we called the speakeasy and they opened the door automatically. I would advise you to call and book and then call for them to give you entry. The staircase going up was in such reddish dimmed lighting, giving a hue of secrecy and mystery. Once you reach upstairs, the bar is on the right end, and it has chairs around the U-shaped bar. They were, I think, 3 large areas of sofa and chairs for larger group. I think they have 2 tables of 2 people. The cocktails menu was with an extensive list. Interesting choices. Note : kids friendly and no smoking

Came on a Thursday night no booking. Ducked in while someone was walking out. Well decorated space, forget that you’re in Ipoh! Drinks are pretty delicious and free nibbles to snack on. There’s games to play which is awesome. Only downside is the speed of service. Seems to be only 1 bartender and not a super busy night but we would wait almost 25min for 3-4 drinks. Otherwise staff super friendly and a small cool space for post dinner drinks!

Thought place to find … but when you do, it’s worth it. Came here on a weekend for early drinks, and it was quite the experience. Cannot remember what the heck we ordered, but it was all awesome. The vibe in here was great, loved the art on the walls and the lighting. Really friendly staff. Highly recommend!

Two nights running there are two bags of ice sitting outside the brown door. The first night at about 8pm, I just presume that ATAS must be closed because the website says a 7.30pm opening time. The next night at about 8.20pm, I phone, and am told the bar will open at 8.30pm. Five minutes later a woman arrives, unlocks and disappears inside telling me she needs a few minutes to set up. At 8.30pm I follow another arriving staff member up the stairs into and through two cosy and nicely decorated rooms to a horseshoe bar area in front of two large stained windows. There are numerous liquor bottles spread out beneath the two windows. The mixologist and owner is bright and effervescent (plus very cute) as she creates my first drink all the while engaging in conversation, telling me about her bar and business. Her manner is very easy going and hospitable. So much so, that my planned one drink ends up becoming two! Both drinks are well executed and of good measure. I’m the only customer as her white cat prowls the space which will soon have other customers who have made later reservations. Just before 10pm, I depart back down the stairs after a completely unexpected find in Ipoh. Well worth visiting.

Shame it was so quiet, but the cocktails were fab and the playlist was the best! Ring to get access when you get to the door.

This is an excellent place to hang out. Their cocktails are just simply unique, where you cant get it elsewhere. All four cocktails that we ordered tasted awesome. Their creation is amazing, and it pleased our tastebuds. The deco, music played, complemented the drinks very well. The also serve freeflow of snacks"malaysian style-kacang putih/muruku)" to go along your drinks. Their waitress was friendly, helpful, the bartender came up personally to explain about their drinks. Their hospitality was amicable. They even served us some satay(grilled chicken/lamb skewers), complimentary. An extra effort by the team. Bravo guys, you earned a five star, from us. As this place is located on the 2nd floor, it can be easy to lose ways. It is a hidden bar actually. So with google image, you will roughly know which building to look for. Dont miss this place, ever.

A speakeasy that requires reservation and do not take in walk-ins. We had to call on arrival to get a table. It’s a pretty decent bar with modern pop hit songs playing in the background. Kudos to the blonde waiter who was extremely friendly and beet helpful with the drink recommendation. The drinks are good. Apparently they do a monthly cocktail and food pairing too.

Kiki Lalat is an absolute gem in Ipoh! The drinks here are incredibly unique and flavorful—whether it’s their craft beers or special local brews, everything is worth trying. The atmosphere is amazing, with a nostalgic charm, rattan chairs, antique decor, and even a vintage printing press that adds to the experience. The playlist of 80s hits creates a fun and lively vibe. But what truly sets this place apart is the staff—they are super friendly, welcoming, and make you feel right at home. If you’re in Ipoh and looking for a place with great drinks, a fantastic ambiance, and top-notch service, Kiki Lalat is a must-visit!

An excellent bar with a cool vibe. Good beers on tap and a good range of craft beers in the fridge. They have a lot of live music on the weekends and their homemade beer and cocktail are cheap.

Ipoh has definitely changed alot! Surely thinks that this place is for the tourist and not so much of local present here. Perhaps youngsters on the weekend. Serves local special brew and own unique craft beer. Yet to try all but loving this Yuzu - Never go wrong series! Chilling with camping chair with live band, at the roadside. Not something usual in Ipoh but we had amazing time here.

What a gem! The vibe is effortlessly cool, with a quirky charm that makes you want to sit back and just soak it all in. The drinks were on point and the service came with warm smiles that made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to whenever I’m in Ipoh.

A hidden gem, chill place to drink, relax, and enjoy live band. Highly recommend to try their specialty crafted beer, although they also have other beer and alcohol available. We tried their TODI (house specialty), Soju Mojoto, and Black Mafia, all have their unique taste and the price is affordable for me consider it's crafted beer. Atmosphere wise, the place is dark with little to no lights, chill as you can just order a drink and relax for the night, and can also become lively with more crowd thr longer the night. No food serve from what I saw, but might be wrong. For live band they started around 9pm during our visit. Parking is ample around the area as nearby shops are mostly closed, but suggest to avoid coming during raining as their indoor dining area is small. No picture as the area is too dark to take one.

Simple bar with indoor or outdoor (camping chairs) seating. Can bring dog outside and just chill, drink and listen to music

Nice hipster ambience bar. Toddy is super awesome! Love the vibe!

Nice atmosphere & beer price for me is ok around rm93 per bucket & draft 5 pints rm100. Ki Ki was a nice girl & does give good service as well. Its best to walk there due to parking has many freelancers. If your a chinese its betta for you to come here as i heard. So far is ok and does not have rowdy crowds. There are also resident singers & loud music too. If you only want a mug best go other pubs. Do visit if your at ipoh..cheers.

The people is not good . Is very bad bar !!! The people is don’t like a stranger . The staff lets their friends in while you've been waiting outside for 45 minutes. Is very bad experience in Malaysia

Beer slight pricey The PR is nice and polite

Tasty food.. nice ambience.... Lovely and friendly crowd...... Mostly suitable for Chinese crowd but if they start playing some English music then I think it would attract more people.!! Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with the place.... 😊

Environment nice, but PR are not friendly as if you not giving tips

Perfect place to chill and have a good time, but I would suggest the club's PIC to play some English songs as well.

Super duper not friendly bar.. Environment so so.. The supervisor insist to order 5 pints, if not you may leave.. What the hell.. Plenty of bar around, then I go next door..

Back in Ipoh from KL — what a gem of a bar! Great Guinness, chill vibes, and friendly service. Feels amazing to unwind here. Highly recommended!

Nice staff but no atmosphere. The time advertised as 12pm is wrong, it's 4pm. Food was just pathetic. Nachos were just a bag of crisps with some fake cheese sauce on the side. Guinness was poured incorrectly and tasted awful.

The quality drop. The Guinness pour is not good. There's not enough foam. The foam is close to solid now creamy. Is already hard to get a full pint of Guinness in ipoh. Please train your staff

Great bar, reasonable prices and under new friendly management. Definitely worth a visit when in Ipoh! Great Guinness too.

Went after dinner for some guinness when in ipoh. The friendly boss asure us that he double tap every pint of guinness. Very good 2 pcs band. Both male n female have nice voices. Didn't ask what the duo band name. Didn't try any food so can't comment on foods.

"Disappointing experience. The pool table was constantly occupied by one group, and it seemed like they just kept playing one after another without giving others a chance. I thought the rule was 'winner stays on,' but that clearly wasn't enforced. The management did nothing to address it, which made the experience even worse. Definitely the first and last time I'll visit this place."

Fries too salty. Other than tat generally everything else is ok. Sit outside to chat or inside to enjoy the music

Great decoration there. I can feel the good moment when singer starts singing. Definitely recommend to my friends and drinkers!!

Dont believe 5 pints for 59rm, told us 5 pints for 79rm! Then served us 5 small glasses! Rip off !

First time there. Ok place

Millineal bar, for the young n karaoke

Cozy. Friendly waiters.

Yes 👍 Friendly services,

Nice!

Nice place to hang out with friends, prices reasonable. Atmosphere good. Love it.

Clean place with good Tiger beer on tap. Parking at times is dreadful

Very nice Hangout place.

Chill nice place for a beer

Food so so. Music too low.

Good environment to chill

Chill..

Good place for relaxing with friends good cool beer.

nice place

Nice Environment

good

(Translated by Google) A sad place... (Original) 痛心之地...

I enjoyed the snow beer! Hahahah! & the octopus. The lala was pretty decent but the curry wild boar wasn't as fantastic. There's 2 shops there.. both are the same. You can either sit in the shop or the roadside

If i can give no star i would do that! Dont ever come, over priced. Seafood is not fresh……. And all the food is salty like the dead sea….. Sodium more than food… seafood overcooked hard like stone….. Stone taste even better…. When we came in we saw a rat just ran in front of us. Final warning don’t come. That’s it…. Food too salty can’t even finish it all….

I spent a lot of my teenage nights in this place. You will find the steam squid & stew noodles here. The taste is paired well with your drink & you can spend the whole night here.

A great spot for drinks and gathering with a good range of beers. That said, the food fell a bit flat—lacking in flavor, and the noodles were stir-fried with prawn instead of traditional pork lard. Parking is also challenging, and prices are on the higher side. Good for the vibe, but may not satisfy if you're coming for the food alone.

Acceptable taste. Reached 5+ less crowd and had peaceful quiet meal Rm180 as picture. All foreigner workers cant understand well and waited quite a while to take order . Was very hungry.

In this restaurant, which consists of two restaurants ("Kafe Yoon Wah" and "Kafe Sun Yoon Wah"), several transactions are apparently carried out per table and guest. The waiters who take drink orders then go to an elderly lady and pay there. They then go into the restaurant, get the drinks and serve them. The guest must then pay for them immediately in cash to the waiter. It is not understandable why the guest has to pay a surcharge here. The waiters are not friendly and unfortunately you feel very ripped off. The cutlery was cheap and all the forks were bent. Napkins/ tissues cost extra, which is absurd for finger food. The served noodles with pork had two pieces of meat and the remaining pieces were bones with no meat at all. Absolutely unacceptable.

The beer is still cold & nice but the food tasted different from a year ago when I last visited. All the usual dishes that we ordered are below average & not tasty at all, really bad compare to last year. We can't even finish half the food, all go to waste!

Check out their new place! Good to see ipoh has a decent speakeasy now but price is no difference to the concrete jungle. I could only use one drink and it is literally only a few sips, a stopover and definitely not here to stay for couple of drinks.

Super cool speakeasy vibes — feels like stepping back in time with all the vintage decor and chill atmosphere. The cocktails? Totally on point. Seriously one of the best spots I’ve been to lately.

Talking about best hidden cocktail in Ipoh, this is the place! Discovered a hidden gem cocktail place that serves good combo, allow customisation and also good fun vibes with all the bartender. Amazing service from Abby and JD that both have cool fun vibes to play along.

Best hidden cocktail bar in town. I always bring my outstation visitors here. Good music & vibes. Service is outstanding. Bartenders know their stuff and always willing to suggest something to suit your taste. Parking is plentiful

Everything one wants in a hidden bar - excellent cocktails that taste amazing, friendly bartenders, and a very chill, comfy and hidden environment. Perfect for introverts. :'3

A delightful find on my first evening in Ipoh. The entrance is actually in the back. Just walk along the side lane and then left until you come across the back door. Aside from the usual cocktails, their mixologist have concocted some new and imaginative drinks using local ingredients (some used by my grandparents 😆). They are unique and taste wonderful. A creative way to put these ingredients to new and innovative use. Best of all, while you sample their cocktails and make small talk with their team behind the bar, you realise they also put on some old movies and project them for the guests to enjoy. Cocktails and movie night = enjoyable combo UPDATE-they have since moved twice, and my latest photos are in their latest location.

Bespoke bar which is hidden , nice good ambience and very interesting cocktails going at 48 rm and above

Celebrated our friend’s birthday here and we enjoyed the day here . Place is not overly crowded on a Friday night but I would say the music is too loud as we all can’t really chat with our friends . They have live band here and love the couple who entertained us for the night . They have a great choice of music . The food here is really bad . Not tasty at all and very low standard. Just go there and grab the drink . Don’t expect to have good food here . But the staff here is very friendly and helpful . Service was good and price is reasonable . There are indoor and outdoor seatings here and place is clean and tidy . Very spacious . Parking is hard during the night on weekdays and weekends .

Good place to hang out. Was there during the Hitz FM Breakfast Crew tour. I hope it's as happening with good spin of music in normal day. Slightly pricier than places that I know.

Environment feel well. Food all not bad.

Five star service with reasonable price,nice tiger painting and tasty food.

nice and cozy environment, but the staff need to be better trained... when i came last Saturday, i came with a few friends, then the waiter keep trying to push us to buy whiskey, even though told him we not interested. it is the pestering i dont like...we come to enjoy music and friends company...they keep interfering to promote...we also mood out already. food and drinks was good. music wise also good..i think need to make the place more happening..good potential to be lively..

Nice and friendly place. Lots of people. They have karaoke upstairs. Downstairs they have a poor table. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Quite a reasonable place and a perfect place to hangout with friends and family. Parking is hard to get during weekends, since the place is packed. Overall it's a good environment.

Food came one dish at time, by the time you finished one main the next main came out. Just us here at 8-9 pm dead atmosphere. Seen a rat twice. Wings were amazing although they came cold.

Great little spot to have a beer and some snacks and watch the world go by. They have a really decent selection of beers and they make a mean margarita. Loved the fried chicken, it comes in a bunch of different flavors, and the views from the second floor are awesome. Worth a visit!

Very loud place. No music when we went but most turn off thing was that the aircond wasn’t on or either it was not cold upstairs so our session wasn’t very enjoyable. Typical expensive bar price.

A great bar with a chilled atmosphere and good seating inside and out. They have a good range of craft beer on the fridge.

Very friendly staff who did everything to make sure we were happy. Great location, excellent beer range at good prices and tasty food.

Hi just been here and had food and drinks , all i can say is wow the service and food was amazing big thank you to kaison, Aayush,kumar for a fantastic night of food and service

Best selection of craft beer in town, freshest draught beer in town!

I rarely if ever put in a negative review for anyone. But I am not from Malaysia, as soon as I walked in with my son, the bartender mentions that on guiness and Heineken they have buy 1 and get 1 free (or this is what I understood) I honestly didn't even want a second beer, but you know how it is, You can't leave a free beer. So not only did I ask for it but also got my son a root beer. Which to be honest he hated. But when I went up to pay the bill, it seemed a lot higher than I was expecting. First they don't give you a bill, just ask you to pay an amount, when I asked to see he pointed at a computer screen. Of course I was billed for 2 beers, when I asked the bartender he said he meant Buy 1 set(of 6 beers) and get 1 free. Let me put this in context, I have walked in with my 11 year old son. He thinks I am going to have 7 beers on a weekday night. So my son can carry me home and tuck me in. And even though I am Indian and clearly not from here, he assumes I know what 1 set means. I am not sure if even locals know what that means. All in all I spent probably 40-50 MYR and about half hour in a place I didn't want to be, because hey free beer. Now call me naive but I think even if the bartender was well intentioned, their complete lack of visibly printed offers, Their proactive verbal offers, the lack of a printed bill that can easily be checked at the end of a night of drinking all of it reeks of something I would advice people to stay away from Even now I hesitate to post this negative review, because otherwise it's a good place. But they need to up their transparency and someone has to publicly call them out on it

Heritage bar run lovingly by Albert and Kamala. Soak up the vibes and watch time stop as you chug beer in the hot afternoon. Cute manja dog too.

The oldest bar in Ipoh and definitely a must-visit when you are in town. The couple owning the bar is SO friendly, they are truly amazing people with a big heart. We went there for one drink and ended up spending multiple hours there enjoying some nice cold beers while talking with some other bar-visitors and the owners themselves. It was an amazing evening, the atmosphere was amazing, truly a treasure in Ipoh.

If you’re looking for an authentic place to enjoy a drink in Ipoh, Sinhalese Bar is the spot. We stopped by yesterday and were greeted by the incredibly friendly owners, who made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. The bar has a charming, old-world atmosphere that captures the spirit of the city. It’s simple, genuine, and full of character — a perfect place to sit back, relax, and enjoy a cold beer. Beer lovers should definitely put this on their list when visiting Ipoh. It’s not just a bar, it’s an experience of local culture and hospitality. Highly recommended!

No frills, zero pretentiousness - just an authentic, old-school bar serving simple beers and snacks. The elderly second-generation owner and his wife are incredibly warm people, as are the locals who frequent this place. Skip the touristy street art and hipster cafes; this establishment captures the true spirit of Ipoh Old Town.

Fantastic old school bar, the owner Uncle Alfred, and all of the locals were fantastic people! Loved every second of my visit! 2022 Came back again almost a year later with my best Friends2022. Finally brought the wife in 2025, she loved it as well. My favorite bar in Ipoh

Wonderful bar little changed since it opened in 1931. The landlord and landlady were friendly and welcoming. Grey, the cat was a little more aloof but cute.

A must visit when you’re in Ipoh! Great historic place to chill with friends over a couple of beers :)

Don't let the 4 stars fool you. This place is amazing and definitely worth a go. They offer a twist of indian fusion in every dish which is awesome. Their menu is truly unique and offer a wide variety. They even have live performances which is cool. I tried their varuval burger and Mee goreng. Mee goreng was ok and the varuval burger was delicious but nothing out of the ordinary and our food was relatively cold. Not many vegetarian options but they are more than willing to adapt upon request. Beers here are overpriced but I guess the ambiance makes up for it. Their prices are a bit steep but not unreasonably priced. All in all a good experience and am looking forward to going here again

The flavors were rich, complex, and truly authentic. The tender pieces of mutton in the varuval melted in my mouth, and the fragrant spices in the Biryani left me wanting more. The panipuri with Kahlua was the best of dopamine .The Thai Cuisine section at Dopamine Bar and Kitchen is a haven for those seeking genuine Thai food , and it did not disappoint.

Quick ! Google "Role of Dopamine" now! Got it? Now go look for this place. It's all that and more! Ipoh's latest hang out joint. What a name , Dopamine! It doesn't fail. Lives upto it's name. Its hip and cool ambience is a sure winner on the mind. Parking will be the usual like all joints worth visiting. But it will not be a deal breaker. There are ample around. Easy to spot with is enticing frontage, it has fresco and in-dining too. The place is set in a heritage building ; huge, spacious and well ID'ed. The music inside is upbeat, yet speakeasy. It's a neatly packaged watering hole, family diner and a post clubbing grub grab, all rolled into one. The bathroom area is neatly tucked away, yet unfolds as you enter, well laid out and not cramped. Menu is well spread across South East Asian, Indian and Western cuisines. Easy to order via QR code and easy on the wallet too. Finally, the staff and the team that made all this happen really deserve the credit for their service and for tirelessly working on this place Try it today. Like it's name- it's an easy fun time.

Very delicious food with very generous portions. Varieties of options on the menu. The deep fried Pork and the Phanaeng Kai was my personal favourite and it was top notch!! Not forgetting the “MOORERUM”beverage Loved every sip of it. Very aromatic and flavourful dishes served in a very Cozy ambiance and music. Very accommodative and friendly owner. Everything was simply amazing!! We will definitely be back!

Just enjoyed a delightful family lunch at this charming spot. Indulged in an authentic Indian meal served on banana leaves nestled in lovely wooden trays. From the flavorful fish fry to the succulent prawns, chicken, and mutton, every dish was a delight. The entire family relished the experience. This place comes highly recommended for its delectable cuisine, refreshing drinks, and inviting ambiance. The warm and welcoming owner and staff added to the overall enjoyment of the visit.

Love the vibe, a good place to chill with techno music. Variety of selection, western and Asian. The portion is satisfactory. Pani puri with khalua was a bomb 👌🏻

I have been to this place twice. The ambience is Nice and welcoming, the owner is also very accomodating, the location is Good. My sincere comment is that the management must hire a good mixologist. Their cocktails are below average in taste and quality. The food is also inconsistent. Hope they will improve in times to come.
