Godfather Bar

4.7(39 reviews)

Godfather Bar and Bistro sits on Sueb Siri Road in Nai Mueang, the central district of Nakhon Ratchasima, making it a convenient option for travellers staying in or passing through Korat. As both a bar and bistro, it offers a dual appeal — a place to settle in for drinks while also having food on the menu, which sets it apart from straightforward drinking spots in the area. The combination draws a loyal local crowd, which is often a reliable indicator of quality and value. The atmosphere leans toward the relaxed and social, fitting for an evening out without the intensity of a full nightclub. Visitors can expect a welcoming environment suited to groups or couples looking for a low-key night in the city. The bistro element suggests there is enough on offer to make an evening of it rather than just a quick drink stop. For practical purposes, it is worth checking the Facebook page listed on the venue's profile before visiting, as opening hours are not publicly confirmed in directory listings. The page at m.facebook.com/GodfatherBarAndBistro is likely the most current source for hours, any live events, and menu updates. As with most bars in Thai provincial cities, arriving earlier in the evening tends to mean a quieter, more relaxed experience, while later hours attract a livelier crowd.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Carry Your Passport or a Copy

Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.

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.
