Round the clock food, fun and entertainment

For all intents and purposes, Penang qualifies for the status of a city that never sleeps, offering exciting choices of day and night entertainment and recreation. Indeed, you can plan your schedule round the clock literally. Shopping, museums, movies, bistros, cafés and heritage walks on the one hand; nature hikes, swimming, saunas and beaches on the other. Plan well and you'll never have a dull moment. Food wise, you can rest assured that you'll never go hungry! Penang after all, is not known as a food haven for nothing. Indeed, some roadside hawkers, bars and eateries only come alive at sunset and stay open until the wee hours. If that were not enough, nighthawks can chill out at the 24-hours coffee houses in hotels until the rooster crows. Tropical nights – pubs, karaoke lounges, hotel lobby and bars: George Town comes alive when the stars come out. The Esplanade, the stretch of Penang Road and Macalister Road, to name a few, are great places to wine and dine at dusk. Late night chill outs: Nighthawks needn't worry about having somewhere to have fun after hours. In the city itself, there are a number of good spots to lighten up, have a drink and chit-chat with friends into the wee hours while being entertained with performances by live bands. Night spots and 24-hr cafés are also found at the international hotels situated along the Tanjung Bungah-Batu Ferringhi-Teluk Bahang belt. Live musical performances range from local entertainers to overseas musicians performing in the bars, lounges, restaurants and night clubs throughout the island. A night at the movies – catch the latest Hollywood offerings: Most of the latest movies from Hollywood, Bollywood, Hong Kong, Japan and Korea are screened at cineplexes. Choose imports or watch a home-grown favourite. Cineplexes accept phone bookings but you must collect your ticket an hour before showtime. To find out what's showing when at the Cineplexes, call the respective outlets. Penang tourists advice | sight seeing, shopping, local cuisinene | ||||
