Amidst tropical plants and a leafy canopy of trees lined around a courtyard mimicking a 四合院 siheyuan (Chinese style courtyard house) gives way to a leafy paradise called Rain Garden. Tranquil indeed, and having only been open for 2 months; this place is definitely an outside lounge worth checking out, especially if you are a fan of outdoor bars.
Easily overlooked...the entrances to the Rain Garden are inconspicuous, which gives this place the feel of being a secret garden, or better yet a barfly's sanctuary.
The bar patio gives you the impression of Penang during the 1970s, and yes the rattan chairs are truly comfortable.
It's apparent that some wine bars in Penang are still in the learning process of listing the vintage and region of where their wine is coming from. The wine list here is still a working progress, so if you are looking to taste something nice, I recommend you bring your own bottle. Let's just hope the corkage fee drops down to a more reasonable price for wine.
Since this place is new, I expect Rain Garden will be going through many changes to improve itself while testing the waters.
