Lucky "luck luck" for 2026!!

We are blessed to be ranked at No.66 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026 — our fourth consecutive year in the list, and our fifth appearance over the past six years.

It's always an honour for our little bar to be listed amongst our amazing peers from across Asia, and we never take it for granted. Thank you, The World’s 50 Best Bars, for always showing love to Penang, and thank you to every guest, tourist, regular, and friend who have visited this cocktail canteen of ours over the past 10 years.

We look forward to celebrating with everyone at the bar. See you in Penang!

As we count down to the new year, we would like to convey our sincere gratitude to everyone who made 2025 such an amazing and eventful year for Backdoor Bodega.

Thank you to each and every guest who traveled near and far to have a drink at our establishment, every journalist and media that wrote about and featured us in publications and awards, every bartender and industry peer who collaborated with us in Penang and hosted us abroad, every single brand and supplier who consistently supported us throughout the years, and of course every individual, past and present, in the team who contributed selflessly to the day-to-day magic of Backdoor Bodega.

2025 would not have been what it is without each and every one of you.

Wishing everyone a happy and amazing 2026 with all the love from us at Backdoor Bodega — from the heart. ❤️

It's been two months since our cocktail love letter to Penang, "The Backdoor Bodega Guide To Penang" was named the winner of the Siete Misterios Best Cocktail Menu Award as part of The World's 50 Best Bars 2025 ceremony in Hong Kong, making Backdoor Bodega the first bar from Asia to receive this amazing accolade.

It means the world to us and we cannot describe what an honour it is to have this opportunity to put our beloved city in the global spotlight.

Thank you, everyone — from the heart. ❤️

Malaysia Boleh!
