Why go, and how to do it well
Situated on Charoen Prathet Road in Chiang Mai's established entertainment strip, this bar and nightclub draws a mixed crowd of locals and travelers looking for a social evening out. The venue has a genuine club atmosphere, with live performers and music that visitors consistently highlight as a strong point. Staff friendliness also earns regular praise, giving the place a welcoming energy that suits solo travelers and groups alike.
The venue is mid-range in pricing, though drinks are largely structured around bottle service rather than individual pours — reviewers note that ordering by the glass is limited, so those coming in pairs or small groups should factor this into their budget. Food is available but service times have been inconsistent, so it is best treated as a drinking and dancing destination rather than a dining stop.

Reviews from Google
I had a great time at this local club. The staff is very very friendly. The music is great and the performers put on an excellent show.
After ordering drinks, I've also ordered french fries. They have arrived after 40 minutes - cold. I could see them on the bar waiting for the staff to pick them up for over 10 minutes. May I suggest to the management that hot food, should be treated with priority, and delivered ASAP after leaving kitchen.
It's a nice club and you'll have fun with your group. But it's one ⭐ for me. Although the menu has a big list, they don't serve whiskey by the glass. And for two people I think ordering a bottle is too much - for me and my partner at least. I switched to beer, and they didn't have most of what was listed. Last resort, I opted for the cocktails and ordered a martini. Time passed very slowly. I got my drink after ~20 mins. My drink had obviously evaporated on the way to the table. 😂 It was fun overall. I guess.

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.
