Brick Bar

Tucked just off Khao San Road in Bangkok's historic Phra Nakhon district, Brick Bar is a live music venue and bar that draws a genuine mix of Thai locals and international travellers for energetic nights out. Its Old City location makes it a natural addition to any evening in the neighbourhood, sitting within easy reach of temples, street food stalls, and the broader Khao San Road scene. Inside, an air-conditioned space fills up around live bands playing Thai music alongside popular Western tracks. The crowd is social and the atmosphere is high energy, making it well suited to groups chasing a fun night rather than a quiet drink. It also features regularly on pub crawl circuits, which adds to the party-friendly feel. Mid-range pricing keeps it accessible without sacrificing atmosphere. Good to know: live performances typically begin around 8:30pm, so arriving earlier means sitting through a quieter period before the main entertainment kicks off. At least one visitor found this frustrating after not being informed on arrival, so it is worth asking staff about the evening's schedule when you get there. As opening hours are not publicly listed, confirming these in advance is also advisable. The bar is easily reached by tuk-tuk or taxi from most parts of central Bangkok.
