About ChinaHouse

ChinaHouse is a mixed café, bakery, restaurant and arts venue occupying linked heritage buildings in George Town, Penang. An open-air courtyard connects its different spaces, which include galleries and a live-music venue at the Victoria Street end. Cakes, coffee and a changing programme of music make it useful for both daytime visits and an evening out. LGBTQ travel guides recommend ChinaHouse as a gay-popular place to socialise, but it is not a dedicated gay bar and has no permanent queer-specific programme established by the operator. Check the current music schedule if you are visiting for a performance.
