Narrow Marrow Penang

Narrow Marrow Penang is the brainchild of Architect Alvin Neoh and Interior Designer Jamie Oon. They first rented the shop house as a place to stay and to set up their design studio, and subsequently turned the down stair into this very unique and rustic little cafe with great charm and character. It took them months of cleaning and repairs before giving it an artistic and cool makeover to serve travellers and locals. Narrow Marrow Penang is famous for their cheesecake, curry chicken and lamb stew with Bengali bread, toddy as well as its enigmatic beverages and coffees. Food and beverages are very reasonably priced and service has been rated excellent. Music being played here is soothing and relaxing too!

Event Venue

Tucked between those pre-war heritage shop houses along Lebuh Carnarvon, this non-descript snug event space requires a good eye especially if you are looking for it at night. Narrow Marrow Penang does not have a proper signage, in fact the former shop frontage of Swee Hup Merchant still remain and there is only a small signboard giving a faint hint of this lovely cafe event space inside. Filled with vintage vibe, the wall and the structure of Narrow Marrow Penang has been given very minimal plastic surgery, except for cute decorations such as pot lids, framed mixed medium art and old wooden boxes and window frames. The rather narrow event space expands into a den of vintage-inspired knick knacks. There are robes slung over mannequins, medicine cabinets lined with jars, colourful vintage suitcases and mixed media art pieces, all held by peeled walls. Recycled furniture made up the seating. There is a long table and some unique wooden benches along with potted plants at the entrance. This event space with such rustic-retro genre gives many a nostalgic feeling. Narrow Marrow Penang has hosted many events from musical gigs to a costume party.

Events

Narrow Marrow Penang is a cool, cosy and welcoming event space for hosting a birthday party, tea party, bridal shower, anniversary, ROM, club gathering, costume party, music performance, social gathering and small scale art exhibition. This event space can accommodate up to 35 pax seated.

Location

Located on the Komtar end of busy Carnarvon Street in George Town, Penang, Narrow Marrow Penang is described as an amazing hole in the wall. Look out for the faded sign of its past life ‘Swee Hup Merchant’, near Secret Alley Way Cafe. Parking is available on the street or you can park in Komtarís indoor car park as it is within walking distance.
