This relaxed place is filled with Thai trendsters and a smattering of Westerners. Hang out in the pretty decked courtyard area with lots of seating and various bars, or dance manically to the latest tunes in the two glass enclosed dance floors. Regular live music is a feature here too. A popular place for young, trendy locals and university students. If you are looking to get away from tourist bars, this is a great venue.

This is a comfortable place with the food area downstairs, and the bar upstairs. There's nothing particularly Irish here other than some kitsch on the walls and a dark-green décor. Heineken, Carlsberg and Thai-brewed beers are on tap, and the Guinness is bottled. There's live music on Tuesday and Friday, plus quiz nights and a TV for watching football.Popular expat and backpacker party place Tel. 053 214554Bubbles [5p.m. - 1 a.m.]
The newly renovated Bubbles is still as popular as ever. The dance floor heaves with a mix of tourists remembering how to do rave moves, locals, some ex-pats, and pros. The entry ticket exchanges for a beer or a scarily sweet cocktail. [5p.m. - 1 a.m.]
People pile into Spicy when everything else has shut. Not the most salubrious place, it is nevertheless fun after 02:00 - don't go before, it is seediness central.
Behind the building that houses the Yoy Pocket is a cluster of rustic outdoor bars catering to backpackers and expats. In this area is the rustic Heaven Beach which often features live local bands. |

In a twinkly setting on Mae Nam Ping, this is one of the longest-running live music venues in Chiang Mai. Two cover bands play at either end of the rambling wooden buildings nightly. It's usually packed with both foreigners and Thais on weekends, so arrive early to get a table on the veranda overlooking the river. There are two indoor bars, both full of regulars, and the food is reliably good. Has two storages featuring rock and pop covers by surprisingly good bands. However, this is a real favourite with tourists, so get there early or be prepared to stand. There's also a daily dinner cruise. Charoenrat Road. [5p.m. - 1 a.m.] |

Good View changes bands frequently and is quite popular. It also has a restaurant . [5p.m. - 1 a.m.] |

A great place for Thais and farang alike who appreciate the good spirit of reggae music and want to hang out with similar minded people around a camp fire or swinging off the vast branches of a tree. |

Tarabar is the latest restaurant to open on the banks of the Ping River. With a fabulous range of acoustic and jazz tunes you are afforded a near perfect, tranquil dining experience at their open-air terrace. |
