Chiang Mai Nightlife

Sights Shopping

1. North Gate Jazz Co-Op

This is the city's most popular bar for jazz music. Doors open at 7 pm and seats on the first floor and mezzanine fill up soon afterwards with a mix of expats, locals, and tourists eager to hear covers of jazz, folk rock, and pop. Tuesdays are jam-session nights, but the place, on the northern edge of the Old City, is packed every night of the week. The bar is super casual---shorts and flip-flops are welcome---and there's no cover, with drinks moderately priced (stick to beer and cider; the cocktails and wine aren't worth the price).
