Tiga - Ipoh

We visited when there was a takeover by Budi (from Melaka). Sunny, Tiga's bartender, was incredibly accommodating and courteous he brought us to bar seats although we had no prior reservations, which we really appreciated. We were served with muruku, welcome drinks and was even given tasters of Tiga's in house infusions as we waited for the Budi team to set up. Personally loved their pandan infusions both gin and bourbon! Their lapsap whisky was also amazing can't wait to try out their other infusions! As for Budi's takeover, we loved the Kekwa cocktail which was served in a teapot great presentation and wonderful flavours that all blend really well together. Every sip was a new experience. Their Peria cocktail was our second favourite a perfect blend of both fruity sweet and herbal bitter, it was a well balanced mix that could potentially be divisive. Tai Yong, one of Budi's bartenders, even stopped to speak to us a couple of times telling us more about the process behind making the cocktails which were both impressive and astonishing. Sous vide, infusions, syrups all of the methods used clearly shows how well thought out their menu was. Amazing experience. Great ambiance, quiet environment and lovely people 10/10 would go again!

For those who hate old schools cocktails this is the only chance in Ipoh having the next level.

The market club is now my new favorite cocktail!! Prices are a bit on the high side but for the quality of the drink and the cozy ambience, I say it’s worth it. Bartender was very attentive and took his time to explain what each cocktail was about and even gave his own off menu recommendation. Ipoh needs a place like Tiga Bar. Well done and keep it up!

Very cozy, laid back, chill out speakeasy bar. Excellent bartender selections based on our preference. Definitely requires repeat visiting.

Nice bar on top of Kikilalat. A little difficult to find but it’s a hidden gem for sure! Good variety of exquisite cocktails. Definitely worth a visit when you visit Ipoh!
