Negroni range
Farquhar's Bar features a range of classic cocktails and one of them is Negroni. It is believed to have originated from Florence, Italiy in 1919 at Caffe Casoni, where Count Camilo Negroni concocted it by asking the bartender to strengthen his favourite cocktail, the Americano with gn instead of the usual water.

Apart from Classic Negroni featuring London Dry Gin, Campari and Sweet Vermouth, the bar also offers other favourite Negroni riffs , such as Old Pal or Kingston Negroni, using Rye Whiskey and Jamaican Rum as a swap to London Dry Gin.

You may go luxurious with the Aged Negroni that uses handcrafted Gin aged in an American Oak Barrel up to 8 weeks. It offers a smoky and long lasting woody taste that lingers in taste buds upon sipping. One of my favourite of the day.

Bloody Maria
Another notable mention is Bloody Maria, which uses freshly squeezed tomato juice and cherry tomato flamed on the spot prior serving. This lively drink is believed to a nutritional breakfast and hangover cure, all in one!

Fresh Shuck Oysters
If you ask me what is our favourite of the day, the answer definitely is Fresh Shuck Oyster (RM 85). It tastes fresh and plump, which you unlikely to get it other restaurants in Penang.

For me, I thought the oysters best enjoyed without condiments to taste its incomparable pleasant raw flavour.
