Editorial score from the venue's published information and recurring themes in public reviews. How we score.

At a glance

Oriental KTV Penang is a long-running KTV and bar at 16 Jalan Anson, on the edge of central George Town. It has private karaoke rooms, a full bar and food. It opens from late afternoon until 1am, or 3am on Friday and Saturday. To book, call +60 4-227 9985 and ask for room rates and drink packages.

The rooms

Oriental is a KTV with private singing rooms plus a bar or lounge area. It runs as a karaoke bar and club, with live shows and dancing on some nights. Ask the venue how many people each room holds, so your group gets the right size.

The building is easy to spot. It is a castle-style building with bright neon lights. Inside, guests often mention that the place feels clean and relaxed.

So what is it like? Think of a well-worn local KTV rather than a new, high-tech lounge. Reviewers say it has been around for a long time and draws business and professional crowds. If you have never been to a KTV, our guide to what is ktv explains how rooms, drinks and bills usually work.

Sound system and song list

The sound gets the most praise in reviews of Oriental KTV Penang. Many guests say the karaoke system is good. The venue has about 20 years in business, and it takes pride in its audio gear. Ask the staff which system your room uses.

The song list draws less praise, since some guests want a wider catalogue. So if you have a must-sing list, ask the staff to check those songs when you book.

Drinks, food and minimum spend

Oriental KTV Penang runs a full bar with beer, wine, spirits and cocktails, plus food and happy-hour drinks. Reviewers say drinks are fairly priced and the food is decent.

For the minimum spend, the menu and drink prices, ask the venue when you call. It takes debit and credit cards and tap-to-pay phones.

One common complaint is cigarette smoke. If smoke bothers you, ask for a room away from the bar, or pick another venue.

Pricing and promotions

Oriental KTV Penang quotes room rates, drink packages and the minimum spend by phone. So call before your night and ask for a quote for your group size and day.

The venue offers discounts for students and staff. Ask for the current amount when you book, and bring the right ID or staff card.

Oriental sits in the mid-range for Penang lounges. As a general rule, Penang bills add a 10% service charge and SST unless the venue says otherwise. (Information checked October 2026.) For typical lounge costs, see our ktv penang price guide.

Who Oriental KTV in Penang suits

Oriental KTV in Penang suits groups of friends, birthday parties and after-work crowds who want a relaxed night with drinks. Reviews often mention it as a good spot for celebrations. Also, the long opening hours on Friday and Saturday help if your dinner runs late.

It is less suited to anyone who needs a fixed budget without a phone call, since prices come by quote. It may also not suit people who dislike smoke. For a work event with a set budget, our company dinner ktv penang guide covers venues that publish rates.

Is Oriental KTV Penang worth a visit?

Getting there and parking

The venue sits at 16 Jalan Anson (Anson Road), 10400 George Town. The street runs near Penang Road and Jalan Macalister, a short drive from KOMTAR. It is one of several lounges in our KTV George Town Penang guide.

Street parking is common on this side of town, so ask staff where to park when you call. By bus, many Rapid Penang routes run through the KOMTAR area. Still, buses stop late at night, so book a Grab for the ride home after 1am.
