If you're looking for a bar that's a little out of the ordinary, visit 20 Leith Street, 11-A Lebuh Leith (tel. 04/261-8873). Located in an old 1930s house, the place has seating areas fitted with traditional antique furniture in each room of the house. Possibly the most notorious bar in Penang is the Hong Kong Bar, 371 Lebuh Chulia (tel. 04/261-9796), which opened in 1920 and was a regular hangout for military personnel based in Butterworth. It has an extraordinary archive of photos of the servicemen who have patronized the place throughout the years, plus a collection of medals, plaques, and buoys from ships.
