TongBar

In this intimate live music joint, a revolving list of rock/funk/jazz players bring the heat while the staff keeps everybody in the groove. A unique aspect of this bar is the near 50/50 split between Westerners and Asian customers. Frequented by a who's who of local musicians, and the occasional well known musician/actor, this bouncy little dive bar is capable of producing jaw dropping surprises. Hint, if the band says they want to bring someone up to sit in with them... You should probably pay attention... The place is easy to find, it's on a main road in the old city, near the Zoe in Yellow complex. Look for the crowd standing on the sidewalk and often spilling into the street...

Super charged night here, bands great , staff good , didn’t eat just drank! minimum 100 baht pp when a band is on . We saw Antidote and Helicopter Secondhand

Been coming here for years. It’s always a reliably good time. The bands are great and the atmosphere is lively. The only problem is a) it’s *very* small (the band is crammed in and there only room for about 5 “tables” inside and b) they’ve started closing the doors, which makes sitting outside very frustrating as you can’t really hear the music except when someone goes inside - about every 10 seconds. This bar is so popular, I don’t understand why they don’t move or expand into a larger location. They obviously need more room.
