Brick Bar
Live Thai bands off Khao San, air-con, and a Thai-heavy crowd that turns it into a proper party by midnight.

Why go, and how to do it well
Come for the bands, not the drinks. This is a live music room just off Khao San Road, and the pull is a crowd that skews Thai, with travellers mixed in rather than dominating. Thai rock and pop carry the night, with western club tracks filling the gaps between sets. It gets loud, it gets packed, and people dance. If you want somewhere to talk, go elsewhere on the same street.
The room is air-conditioned, which matters more than it sounds when you've been sweating through Phra Nakhon all evening. Prices sit in the middle for the area. Expect to buy a drink as a de facto cover charge, and expect the space to feel half-empty and a bit flat if you turn up early. One reviewer arrived at opening, ate, drank, and left before anything started, which is an easy mistake to make.

Reviews from Google
Lively club bar tucked away off the main street on khao San road. Air conditioning was on and the vibes were great with lots of Thai and some tourists mixed in. Played fun western club music followed by a Thai rock band on the weekend we were there. Must buy a drink as "cover fee".
Necessary pit stop whenever I am in BKK! Incredible vibes, music and people. Rarely remember the end of the night, but the beginning is always great!
Said bar open 630pm. Entered and ordered and ate and drank it. Later i heard performance starts 830. Just spent 630TBH and left. Supposed informed when i entered. I was unpleasant experience.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
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.
Arrange Your Ride Home
Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
