The "new" Brasserie

[daoyai]

I passed by the new location of the Brasserie recently and the appear to be open. I have been too busy to stop by, any reviews? It is located on Chaipoom Rd. across the moat from Kad Sompet.

[elektrified]

Hmmm...I've been at Talaat Somphet twice in the last few days and even crossed the little bridge to go from Moon Muang to Chaiapoom and walked past 2 or 3 times but did not notice the new Brasserie. Can you be more specific as to the location? Thanks. Is there a sign?

[daoyai]

They have a lighted sign on the pathway...pavement...sidewalk... it is north of the bridge.

Better check it out - is Took playing there?

Thanks dave2. I walked right past it twice in the last few days and never noticed it. Will have to check it out. Anyone know what nights, what time, etc. there will be live music?

Thanks dave2.

no problem .... i went past there tonight about 9 30 and there was a

meeter and greeter boy outside but no customers and no music that

i could hear ... not good ... the same as loi kroh .. the bar boxing centre

a sleeping ghost town with girls desperately looking for a customer : (

Sounds like its the old 'Spicy' location,hope so, need some live music around that area of the Moat.

So is the old one closing down/selling then?

[Somtamnication]

Is this a bra shop?

[ChiangMaiTrue]

I Google it and find it’s a restaurant?

But the photo looks like body care? Confused

Long gone, demolished and the new business on the property is close to completion of construction.

They have prostitutes at the new location? That is strange. Has it actually opened? I would imagine that Boy and some of the other locals will be playing there eventually?

LOL you certainly are new to C.M. That is a bistro in Paris you are talking about.

So what's on the site of the old Brasserie? Anybody know?

The new location seems a bit strange, but good luck to them.

Don't know yet. Passed by the other night and they were still in the late stages of construction.

[elektrified]

Does anyone know what's happening at the new location? I've been by there twice now hoping to hear some good music. Both times it was completely dead with no more than 2 people in there each time drinking soft drinks and reading Lonely Planet guides. The 2nd time I stopped in there were some instruments on the stage but no musicians anywhere around. I finally saw a guy who worked there but he wasn't very helpful only saying Took was out of the country.

No opening party, jam session, or anything?

I've been 3 times in the last week or two. A different band each time. All quite good. I was arriving around midnight and the band would play until 1am. Never a big crowd in unfortunately. A welcome addition to my social outings.

Thanks for that. I was there around 21:45 each time. Sounds like I was about 2 hours early for live music. You would think they might start the live music earlier and get more people in.

[just_Elaine]

Thank you for letting us know where it is located. Does anyone have updates about the new place?

[Mousehound]

I'm going to miss the old Brasserie.

[elektrified]

The "old" Brasserie has been gone for some time now.

I've been by the new location a number of times only to find it almost empty with only 2 or 3 customers in there each time. There was a band playing the last time I went. They were O.K. but playing to an almost empty club. I hope things pick up soon. Maybe when Took is in town and jams there, the crowds will come.

Wasn't the old Brasserie by the Riverside pretty much empty all the time too?

No, the place rarely was jam packed but there was usually a decent crowd, it was my local for a while.

Is the Brasserie a bar or a restaurant, or both? Has anyone tried their food?

So, it's definitely not an undergarment then?

Food has traditionally been a *very* mixed bag. Since it's now a new place I think it's best not to comment and wait and see.

[Saudi Sid]

My wife and Kids ate there recently and it was indeed a mixed bag but definately worth a 2nd go.
