Drafted

Located on Jalan Gurdwara alongside other popular George Town bars, Drafted stands out as one of the few venues in Penang with a genuine craft beer tap setup. PaperKite — the Malaysian craft brewery whose beers are still a novelty in many parts of the country — is prominently featured on tap alongside other rotating craft selections.

The bar is a welcoming spot on a strip that rewards a bar hop: No Bar Here, Backdoor Bodega, and Good Friends Club are all nearby. It's a relaxed, social venue that fills a real gap in a city where dedicated craft taps are rare.
