Talk Talk Wine Bar & Lounge is located in Sungai Dua, Penang right in between Bukit Gambir and Bukit Jambul (I stand to be corrected). When coming from Gelugor, take the right at the traffic lights after USM and go straight. You will then see TESCO Extra on the right and you take the right at the traffic lights until you see the next traffic lights. There is an Indian temple just at that traffic lights on the left, but you must turn right immediately. There are some shophouses on the left and still you drive straight. You will then come to another shopoffices area which is about 4 storeys high and take the left. Talk Talk or "Tok Tok" is just on the right. Have some parking coupons ready as the parking area is coded as red zone (everyday up to 12 midnight).
This is the first post that I gave the directions first prior to my opinion on this lounge. Anyway, when you enter, the staff will ask whether you prefer to sit and dine at the smoking or non-smoking section. It's a shame to be informed that all the comfy seats with sofas and cushions are at the smoking section, leaving sturdy and wooden furnitures on the non-smoking section. When my friend finally joined me, she was surprised that there was such a division of seating.
The best part that I enjoyed is that the staffs will not disturb you unless you ask for them. They will not interrupt your conversations by asking whether you need anymore drinks or orders (some tend to do that to customers to hint them that you are occupying the table for too long. hah!) or to clear up the empty glasses and plates. The cake was decent and the drinks were pleasant. Talk Talk caters more to alcoholic beverages and the ambience also tells that it is designed like a pub. Price mid to high range.
Nonetheless, like its name, it is a good place for meeting friends to catch up or to unwind after a long day at work.
