Credit cards accepted.
Website
A Bangkok institution, this quality New York style lounge/club has been running for over 10 years now! With great resident DJ's and some of the finest international DJ's and live acts playing each month. By no means the biggest club in terms of size, Q Bar gets very crowded on weekends attracting a mixed clientele, if it all gets too hot for you retreat upstairs to the spacious balcony. With a diverse range of themed nights, Q covers all the Bases proving to be a continued clubbers favourite, particularly during the week when other clubs are somewhat lacking appeal.
Décor has kept pace with the times and the new upstarts around Bkk have obviously drawn inspiration from this daddy of a club!
Cover Charge: Friday & Saturday 600 baht for 2 drinks or 400 baht deducted from your bill after 22:00.

Very good show band backs Elvis and Tom

'love' scene and has Lucifer's disco upstairs,
which also enjoys good crowds. A 'must
visit' if only to see the Elvis and Tom
Jones impersonators!

At first sight the room appears stark,
almost art deco, with a bar straight out
of Rebel Without A Cause. Californian
chef Steve is the chef manager and a friendly
cove who will make certain you're comfortable
and well fed. The menu has a Californian
edge, although the base cooking is classical
with modern twists, and the wine list
is impressive. The music comes from various
jazz musicians.

A classic rock bar which has survived
the years despite unspectacular attendances
and often unspectacular local rock bands.
But that's part of its charm and there
are a few musicians who pass through who
can still strut their stuff! One of the
only venues in Bangkok where rock still
rules, overall quality has been improved.
The bands at the weekend tend to be better
though, and the city's rockers still convene
here as they have been doing the last
16 years. If hard rock is your thing,
look no further.

Route 66, East/West
RCA. Block's,
Rama 9 Rd., Bangkapi
Huaykwang, Bangkok 10320
Tel:
06 300 0817
Opening Hours: 6.00pm – 2:00am
Website
Like Flix/Slim, Route 66 is divided into two with both sides featuring Hip-Hop and R&B. The main entrance hosts a small dance floor that plays house, follow the compass points set into the walls to navigate between rooms. Animation and other visuals play on the walls and ceiling, and the main room is huge but tables and chairs reduce the dancefloor to a pitifully small area.
Trying to dance on Friday and Saturday nights is near impossible, inside people searching for space, their friends or bruised toes push their rude way through every conceivable space, turning what should be a great club into a crowded corridor.

Located on the lower floor of this grand hotel, Spasso is a chameleon that starts the night as a very acceptable Italian restaurant and ends as a full-blown disco, albeit with live music. At the weekends it gets packed and after 10, when the music starts, there is a Bt600 entrance charge, which includes two free drinks.
Speed
80 Silom Soi 4
Silom Road
Bangkok 10500
Tel:
01 818 5064
Opening Times: 8.00pm - 1:00am
Established over ten years ago, the original Hip Hop Club on Soi 4, Speed has a loyal following. Its dark and rather Spartan concrete interior prioritises space for dancing over comfort. This is a necessity given the crowds that gather in this petite venue on weekends. This dark club continues to pull in the punters due to a great atmosphere and music policy guest DJ's drop in regularly to supplement a variety of resident and guest DJ's. Music switch's from Hip-hop to R&B and Dancehall.

Music from: 8.45pm
This is a large, modern room that's well-equipped but offers little in the way of food, which is just as well considering the low tables. The night I went the place was very short of punters and I fear this may often be the case - it's a big room to fill.
Tapas

Bangkok 10500
Tel: 02 234 4737, 02 632 7883
Opening Times: Daily 8.00pm-1:00am
Website
Tapas is Soi 4's chic'est club. Despite its small size this club stays in vogue due to a family vibe top House music and fabulous décor! The beautiful people and average boys and girls descend on this two-storey venue and fill both floors by 23:00 every weekend. Upstairs only opens at weekends or for special/private parties. An eclectic mix of funky/latin/pumping house DJ's are accompanied by live percussion from midnight onwards to get the crowds rocks off. Thai celebrities pop in occasionally and get a little sweaty with the rest!Its easy to see why this club has passed the ten year mark in what can be a fickle city, with no major image/music change!

Website
The first and to date only club in Thailand to install a sub 10 degree ICE BAR / Vodka room, this excellent nightclub boasts a very open approach and style, Titanium is a fun environment to relax in, without pretension or models to distract the clientele, just great if rather commercial tunes, a Funk / Alternative selection at the weekends and a Caribbean flavour providing a chill out on Sundays.
In their own words don't come here expecting to hear house/techno sets, we leave that to the other clubs! They do play host to a rather good all girl band called Unicorn who play a mixed bag of Indie and Alternative songs.

Tokyo Joes (Formerly Isaan Champroo)
Blues Bar & Restaurant
9-11 Siwaporn Plaza,
Opposite Ariston Hotel
Sukhumvit Soi 24
Tel 02 661 0359
Tokyo Joes is slowly evolving into an archetypal blues venue: where the band all puff away happily before starting the gig and the beers are on stage. But the music is all that matters and the music is good. It is normally blues but soul and jazz creep in. Bangkok 's blues community revolves round Joe's with Soi Dog's Jeff T running the joint as well as taking to the stage at least once a week.
The Sunday blues jam is rated as one of the best jams in town with most musicians in the ex-pat community turning up regularly as well as the Thai blues men. Small smoky an with limited food a great spot when you want the real thing!

Archetypical Thai version of an English pub, with a good central bar for sitting and vast bench at one end to accommodate the bar over flow. The other end has a music stage where a band performs every night. The menu is extensive with a good mix of Thai food, pasta, steaks and traditional pub meals. The wine list owes a great deal to the owners other interest the up market Witches the city centre: I do not see a great demand for 5,000 Baht bottles of wine after a few pints of Guinness or Kilkenny!
The spring rolls I had were listed as spinach and cheese spring rolls and that is what they were: I was not sure it really worked but somebody was trying! My lamb burger was. I thought, a little over spicy but otherwise fine. A sign outside says the best burgers in Bangkok are served in the WT: a big claim in a city awash with fast food! My companion had Thai (Issan) food which was very well presented and I assured was first rate. Not haute cuisine but a good honest fun eatery.
