Why go, and how to do it well
Situated directly beside Chiang Rai's famous Clock Tower on Chet Yot Road, Saints Bar & Grill has become a go-to evening spot for both long-term visitors and travellers passing through the city. The combination of a relaxed bar atmosphere and a solid grill menu sets it apart from the typical nightlife offering in the area, drawing a loyal crowd of locals and expats alongside tourists looking for a comfortable place to settle in for the evening.
The kitchen turns out comfort food with a strong reputation — house-made burgers, steaks with pepper sauce, schnitzels, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches, and seafood baskets all feature prominently in what regulars order. The owner is frequently mentioned as a welcoming presence, and the staff are noted for friendly service. A large TV screens football matches, adding to the social, casual vibe that defines the place.

My favourite hangout in Chiang Rai right next to the famous Clock Tower perfect spot for dinner and drinks before (or after) the 9pm showtime! Great comfort food I recommend Philly Cheese steak sandwich and Chili Cheese Hot Dog. The homemade apple pie is a must! 😋 The owner/manager Steve is very knowledgeable about what to do in town had a great chat with him. He's got heaps of board games and a pool table upstairs on the second floor. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
Brilliant place, located right next to the clock tower. The owner is brilliant I’ve been in chiang rai for over a month and always come here. I’ve had burgers here which are amazing as they make their own buns. The BLT wins however as I eat it nearly everyday. I very recommend coming here
Eaten here the last 2 nights. Great food lovely service staff and a very amiable owner. They all get 4 stars but the 5th goes to this little fella:

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.
