About Sinhalese Bar
Founded in 1931 by a Ceylonese owner, Sinhalese Bar is described as one of the oldest surviving bars in Ipoh, and it keeps its pink and green paint and pre-war windows. It is a daytime beer-and-chat bar rather than a late-night one.
An October 2025 blog visit says it serves only small finger-food bites, and customers often bring snacks from the nearby Concubine Lane stalls. Phone 05-241 2235. We could not confirm its current hours in October 2026, so call before going.
