Brasserie
This cool venue has a great band headed by a guy called Took who plays renditions of old Hendrix, Dylan, Marley and Stones songs. If you fancy something a bit heavier than jazz then the Brasserie should suit. In the early evening an acoustic guitar entertains before the evening progresses to something heavier and the electric guitars come out to rock your socks off. The delightful terrace has ample amount of greenery to accompany the river setting and a chilled beer.

Bus Bar
This kooky outdoor bar area at the foot of the Iron Bridge is lively and a lot of fun. The Bus Bar is a large converted double-decker public bus that now serves heavy-laden cocktails and ice cold beers to groups of happy guests. The music is a mish-mash of chart hits, Thai songs and ballads, the food is poor, but for a few drinks in the evening it is an enjoyable experience. The Bus Bar is the only one of our top 5 on the western, city-side bank of the river, but just look for the Iron Bridge and you will find it easily.
- Opening Hours: 18:00 – 1:00
- Location: 111 Kampangdin Rd., Across from the Imperial Mae Ping Hotel at the foot of the Iron Bridge
