Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked away in the Rim Kok area of Chiang Rai, Vinyl & Wine blurs the line between wine bar and intimate live music venue, drawing visitors with a combination of fine dining, an extensive wine list, charcuterie boards, and nightly live performances. The name nods to its musical roots, but in practice this is a full evening-out destination rather than a simple drinks spot.

The atmosphere is cozy and warm, with a small, characterful space that fills quickly on performance nights. Live music typically begins around 8:30pm and can feature groups as large as a six-piece band, making for an energetic, at-times loud experience in an intimate setting. Performances are themed and vary by night of the week, giving repeat visitors a reason to return. Service draws consistent praise, and the food and wine menus are considered well above the standard for Chiang Rai nightlife.

We really like the atmosphere and dinner experiences at V&W here in CRai. Everything is tasteful 😌 The live performances are cosy and themed based on the night of the week. We like the music & artistry! The food is also delicious. We have tried the following:- • burrata salad • “berry” cheese platter w/ honey drizzle • v&w “fried chicken” / chicken wings • carbonara • beef ragu • bisque pasta dish • pork chops • brownie & ice cream Personally, I would skip the bisque and ragu pasta dishes. The pork chop was good, the carbonara is tasty, cheese platter for sharing and the v&w chicken wings are a must try! Would recommend to friends & look forward to coming back again for another lovely and memorable night at V&W 🩶 P.s. I recommend using line to chat & make sure they are available for reservations. Also, helpful to know whether the band is performing so there’s no disappointment if it’s something you look forward to!

Urban fine dining meets smooth live grooves - amazing menu (good & wines), great live music, and fantastic service. 🫶💕🥰 Always good times here, but book or come early. 💃🏼 Pro tip: despite “closed” sign in the daytime on Google maps; vinyl and wine is a cafe during the day with great deli menu and even a fun selection of board games! 🕺🏻

Great food, limited seating so must book ahead. Very extensive wine menu. Charcuterie boards available. Live music from 8:30pm onwards, definitely loud- 6 person band in a tiny space under stairs!

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.
