Why go, and how to do it well
Once a fixture in Chiang Mai's Old Town and now relocated to the trendier Nimman neighborhood, this bar has built a loyal following among both expats and travelers for its authentic dive bar atmosphere with a distinctly hipster edge. The venue is known for its carefully curated music, with resident DJs spinning vinyl and a sound system that delivers serious volume without overwhelming the relaxed, social vibe. Thoughtful interior design, air conditioning, and a generous seating area out front make it a comfortable spot whether you want to dance or simply soak up the atmosphere.
The drinks menu keeps things straightforward and affordable, with Thai beers, shots, and buckets on offer. Happy hour runs until 8:30pm and offers three beers for 199 baht, making it one of the better-value options in the Nimman area. A pool table rounds out the offering for those looking to settle in for the evening.

Coolest bar in CNX! Great vibe, chilled, nice decor and a great DJ and super punchy sound system. The place has a hipster vibe and loads of seats out the front too so you can still hear the sound system. I came on my own twice and different tunes and music each time but all quality hip hop, house, disco and electronic. Best music I’ve heard in Thailand so far🔥 🎵 As someone from London, this reminds me of somewhere in Shoreditch. The music was class! 🖤
This was the coolest dive bar in Nimman, with the best music. The DJs brought authentic Western dive bar vibes. Unfortunately, as of February 1st, they had to close down. It’s a huge loss for the neighborhood! 🥺😭
Beautiful low key bar. Air-conditioning, good prices, you can find shots, Thai beer and buckets. Good music and pool. Very well designed

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.
