It started as Malaysia’s first Wearne Brothers’ automotive showroom.
From the early 2000s until 2017 it became a nightlife hotspot.
Today, it is a restored dining and entertainment hub that brings together history, food, and a lively city vibe.
Visitors can explore a variety of eateries and specialty shops.
MOJO JOJO serves modern Asian European fusion dishes, while UMI-UMI Japanese Restaurant offers fresh sushi and ramen.
Kashmir brings authentic Middle Eastern flavors, and Me’nate Steak House is perfect for steak lovers.
Kenny Hills Bakers and Harison Premium Chocolate are great for coffee, pastries, and handcrafted sweets.
Car enthusiasts will also enjoy checking out Lotus Cars Penang, adding a hint of nostalgia to the experience.

It is an easy stop for anyone walking the George Town Heritage Trail, especially after exploring Fort Cornwallis, or the Clan Jetties.
The mix of history, dining, and entertainment makes it a spot worth pausing for photos, a snack, or a full meal.
