Highlights

Venture into the most elusive of George Town's speakeasies to take a master class in cocktail mixology. Learn the basics of mixing and shaking cocktails with three types of drinks: highball, sour and old fashioned. Backdoor Bodega is a hidden bar in an overpriced pin shop that boasts over 40 signature cocktails on its menu.

Opened discreetly with zero fanfare in 2016, this owner-operated speakeasy with a small team of self-taught bartenders is now one of Penang's top cocktail bars. It's even clinched the Penang's Bartender of the Year award in 2019!

Backdoor Bodega Cocktail Masterclass in Penang is highly recommended for its fun, interactive, and engaging sessions led by knowledgeable bartenders like Shen and Thanesh. Customers enjoyed learning to make three unique cocktails, especially the Jungle Bird, and appreciated the intimate, hidden bar setting.

It was a fun class and the trainer gave a very interactive lesson on 3 drinks that costs more than the cost of the class. Love the place and our daughter made her first cocktail ‘jungle bird’ which is the state drink of Penang. Can’t asked for more!

Very interactive and engaging session with Shen and his team. Backdoor Bodega was recently ranked #52 in Asia's 50best bars 2024! They have really unique drinks, all meticulously crafted and concocted to please our taste buds and perfumed our nose. All 3 drinks we learned were tasty, special shoutout to Junglebird, and we even stayed behind after class to order 2 more drinks so unique, we couldn't resist: Spellbinder (aged-soy based, yes) and Mango Sticky Rice. Highly recommended activity, or even just drop by and taste their magic behind the door :)

Decided to book a cocktail masterclass for myself along with my folks to put a spin on the activities we were doing in Penang and I must say, this was the best decision. Shen & Thanesh guided us patiently on how to craft each cocktail (we had a total of 3 & Jungle Bird was my fave). Was super entertained looking at my dad shaking his own cocktail. This was definitely an experience filled with a lot of fun, laughter and alcohol. HIGHLY RECOMMEND it to anyone that's visiting Penang. Backdoor Bodega is also a bar hidden behind a regular apparel store, so do be mindful of this when you're visiting.

Super interesting and once-in-a-lifetime fun experience with Thanesh! Would highly recommend to visit if you want a deeper knowledge of what you are drinking and the flavor profile of your choice and palette.
