A Chiang Mai institution since 2008, this laidback bar near the Chang Phuak Gate is where the city’s indie music scene comes alive. Despite the name, it’s not all jazz here. You’re just as likely to hear hip-hop, rock or slow jam sessions throughout the week. Catch their open mic nights which highlight experimental sounds. The crowd spills out onto the pavement most evenings, drawn by the free entry, eclectic vibe and rotating lineup of local and international talent. Come for the music, stay for the community.
