The first rooftop bar in Georgetown, Three Sixty Revolving Restaurant & Sky Bar is a two-level penthouse lounge topping the four-star Bayview Hotel Georgetown along Lebuh Farquhar. A weekday happy hour must, it is divided into an indoor dining hall which does a slow 360-degree turn, while outside is an open-air lounge. The bar’s décor is minimal with comfortable white bar stools and neon lighting, allowing the view (which will make you reach for your camera in an instant) to take centre stage. It tops our list of 5 Great Cocktail Bars in Penang largely for the views but also because bartenders have concocted an awesome menu of signature cocktails that are fruity and flavorful. 

There are so many reasons to love Baba Bar. This charming, rustic nightlife features some rather quirky and chic Peranakan décor with a modern twist in the form of archaic, colorful mosaic tile floors, marble table tops, a western saloon-style bar counter and heavy velvet drapes sectioning off cozy nooks. All in all, it just adds up to a space perfect for a late night lounge with a drink and when you add in the thoughtful, flavorful cocktail selections, you will be even more impressed. Its setting in Seven Terraces technically makes it a hotel bar, but Baba Bar is far from a blues-y lounge – rather, it is more of a friendly, neighborhood hangout with sociable staff members. Cocktails are prepared with elegant technique and the barmen are witty and humorous.
