    I went here early after researching on Google maps. The doorman stopped me and said something to the manager who then told me that they were full. I looked into the bar and saw less than 25% capacity. I was dressed casual but tidy. I had not been here before. I passed 2 hours later and there were still half the seats available. I can only surmise that they prefer to cater to Chinese, Korean and Thai customers because I saw no westerners in there. Disappointing. I have not experienced racism in Thailand and hope I am wrong. i will not try to enter again.

    To my disappointment I have to read that I am not the only falang who got rejected within the last year. The argument has been the same: it is full. Despite the fact it wasn't and locals passed me at the entrance. In that case I cannot take the few responses of the owner ("sorry for your inconvinience, everybody is welcome") in this section seriously. It happened to me several times. Not just once. Maybe there has been a policy chance. Up to 2018 I was still welcome and enjoyed coming here. Eventually I got rejected 4 times in a row. I am talking of a time before covid. I won't come back again.

    I would give it 0 stars if I could. The staff are rude and they racially profile foreigners. They refuse entry to all non-Thai people. Definitely a place to avoid. Save your baht and spend it somewhere that is welcoming.

    We've been travelling for over 12 months. We haven't needed our ID's to get into a bar ever before (given we are 38 years old!). No entry for us but I spotted lots of locals walking straight in unchecked! No thanks. Avoid the embarrassment!

    Don’t judge this place based on the reviews from 3 years ago. I am a farang (Caucasian person) and the staff and environment was very welcoming. This is a locals bar so if you are a farang, you will probably be the only white person there, but everyone is very nice and welcoming. Overall, 5 stars ⭐️

    Sort by low stars, enjoy the reviews, says what you need. Place has great music Partner approved, musical sense better than mine. Go here if you want the right music and vibe, but be chill & I think it's enjoyable. Slick slick transitions, and it's a Wednesday. Yeah, the low reviews don't know.

    This place is clearly not welcoming westerners. Before entering we were greeted with contempt. They will ask for a physical ID. Also, they let in my wife but was TOLD where to sit! She was TOLD to sit at the bar, as if to hide her away! When have you ever been told where to sit before even entering an establishment? Especially at a bar? STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!

    I had a good experience as a foreigner. They check ID's but that's pretty standard and they are okay with digital copies. The drinks are affordable and very good. Bartender is nice and makes good cocktails. Music mix is really chill and has a lot of stuff I never heard before. I really enjoyed hanging out there by myself as a solor traveler.

    Would give it 0 stars if possible the guy at the front mumbled something waited for about 2 mins for him to finally say the place is full while two thai woman walked past us into the bar. Very rude and disheartening if this was london it would be scrutinised in the news and more than likely shut down.....rude dont waste your time

    Student bar with good music and friendly staff. Good, basic menu with very good food. Inexpensive beers and grub. Good vibes and the busiest bar amongst the many in this street.

    (Translated by Google) The place where the youth of Chiang Mai hang out. Great music plays here and its own atmosphere reigns. At 21:00 there are almost no free tables left, so it is better to arrive early. Be sure to bring your ID with you. And I advise you to dress here not as tourists. (Original) Место где тусуется молодежь Чиангмая. Здесь играет классная музыка и царит своя атмосфера. В 21:00 почти не остаётся свободных столиков, поэтому лучше прийти пораньше. Обязательно возьмите с собой ID. И советую одеться сюда не как туристы.

  • 1/5 Zashnain Z. 4 years ago on Google
    Terribly loud from both the raging music and the young crowd. You can hear it as far as the cross junction. Even if you're here for a quick chat over alcohol, it's almost impossible due to the noise. Many of its customers hang around outside on the street to smoke or have a conversation. I wonder how the establishment got a licence to operate at night especially with loud music. I would not return to this place, as it doesn't feel safe nor conducive to unwind.

  • 5/5 Steven M. 4 years ago on Google
    If you like good music (especially hip hop) this is the best bar in Chiang Mai. Full of cool alternative studebt types and also just so happens to serve the cheapest drinks when it could be the most expensive. You need ID to get in and you won't get a seat if you arrive after 8pm, especially at weekends.

    I think here is one best place in chiang mai
