Adhere The 13th Blues Bar

4.6(1,199 reviews)$$$$

Tucked along Thanon Samsen in the Phra Nakhon district, Adhere The 13th Blues Bar is a small but beloved live music venue that has carved out a loyal following among both locals and travellers. The bar is decorated with music memorabilia and has an unpretentious, neighbourhood feel that sets it apart from Bangkok's flashier nightlife options. Its mid-range pricing makes it accessible without compromising on the quality of what matters most here: the music. Guests can expect a genuinely intimate atmosphere where talented local and guest musicians perform blues and jazz sets that regularly draw warm crowds. The space is compact, which only adds to the energy — outdoor tables spill onto the street, and the vibe inside tends to be social and friendly. Drinks are well-made and reasonably priced, but the live performances are the real draw, with visitors consistently noting the skill and passion of the musicians. Adhere The 13th Blues Bar opens every night of the week at 19:00 and runs until 01:00, making it a solid option for a late evening out. Live music typically gets going after the bar warms up, so arriving a little after opening gives the room time to fill and the atmosphere to build. Given the small size of the venue, it can get crowded on weekends, so arriving early is advisable if you want a good seat. Check their Facebook page before visiting for updates on upcoming performers and special events.

Visitor Reviews

This bar is such an amazing and lovely vibe. It is small and cozy, filled with character and always full of friendly people. The live blues and jazz are incredible, with talented local and guest musicians who make every performance feel personal and soulful. Seating is limited so it can get crowded, but that only adds to the charm. Drinks are a bit pricey, one small thai beers is around 170, but none of that matters once the music starts. For anyone who loves good vibes and great live music, this place is unforgettable. They have live music everyday from 8 pm till late! Just go there and have a chill lovely and fun evening :)

one of my favorite places in town. This club is amazing. The owner is super welcoming. Drinks are good. Atmosphere is awesome. And most of all, live music is excellent. Everybody in there is smiling, dancing, and clapping in the middle of a very cozy, dim-lit and well-decorated place. A place where you feel at home instantly.

The best vibes! Music was really really good. Super small cozy atmosphere. I wish I didn’t end up going on my last night in Bangkok otherwise I would’ve been back every night!

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Carry Your Passport or a Copy

Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.

Know the Closing Times

Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.

Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously

Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
