TheFox Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's not that we don't like fighting through a horde of 20 year olds in tank tops to get a drink but ... ok it kind of is. Any place that has more of a 30 year old vibe, decent music and (and I know that's asking a lot), a dance floor? Location not a problem as we have a car.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Anyway, serious reply: I think for a relatively small sub-section / sub-culture of 'foreigners in Chiang Mai', there just isn't enough nightlife to allow segregating places into age groups, or by nationality, etc. And that's probably a good thing. So instead of focussing on age, focus on what appeals to you. For example places like Boy Blues Bar. But there may very well be 20 year olds as well as 60 year olds in there, all having a great time.

naboo Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Have babies. Before you know it, you will be 50 and wondering why the 30 year olds don't want to hang out with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the alternative? I suppose the alternative is not hanging out with them. This suits me fine. In fact I dont want to hang out with any Thais of any age as we have no common ground for discussion. I expect they find me equally uninteresting.

LivinLOS Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 North gate jazz.. Some of the niman wine or Craft Beer places (really like Em and Namton at Namtoms house bar.. Good live band in a small setting 2 weeks ago).. Shame at Monkeys demise as that was ideal for the 'older than warm up' crowd who didnt want to Zoe or spicy it.. If the 'sexy serving girls' isnt something your trying to avoid.. Oxide has music often and is a nice snack and drink type setup. Bit brassy for females perhaps.

TheFox Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks LivinLOS, that was constructive and interesting. We indeed have had enough of Zoe and Spicy and looking for something less backpackery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangmai Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Club Cafe...Nimman soi 7....very good ambiance.....some foreigners, but it's not sweaty, at all. 3 Large Tigers for 200, 3 Large Heinekens for 290. Parking in their lot, across the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangmai Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I didn't know they charged for parking...I usually don't drive to beer promos....I haven't had the food, but I'll take your word for it. Outside can be empty during the week, to full for a big EPL match. A number of places will be empty during the week. I still can't figure out why the bottle shop is so popular with so many westerners...for a nominal amount more you can get served and actually not have to use another business's restroom. In fact, Dayli, on soi 11, charges the same 55 for a large Leo and 60 for a singha, and you don't have to sit 1 meter from traffic....that's a younger crowd...but not sweaty trashpacker at all. Many of them look down on people/girls that go to Spicy, and I really won't hold that against them. I think they view Warm-up differently, but that, too seems to be the sweaty crowd.

JaseTheBass Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The bottle shop sells proper unlike Dayli (I presume) and they don't take the P on pricing unlike Beer Lab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseTheBass Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Cube on Sirimangkalajarn Soi 7 is a nice place to hangout. Acoustic music weekly (Saturday?), decent, affordable food and a reasonable selection of imported beers at good prices. No draught beer yet.

bangmai Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 The bottle shop sells proper unlike Dayli (I presume) and they don't take the P on pricing unlike Beer Lab. Dayli has Carlsberg, but to pay 50 thb more for german beer (per bottle) at the bottle shop, than I pay in the US, to sit on plastic stools by a congested street begs the question, why come to Thailand to begin with? Tiger and Heineken are good enough, without getting reamed by the Excise Department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do a few nightcaps at Dayli, with One Zero Acoustic Band, 55 thb Leos...not sure about the live music in Tuesdays...10 minute walk, if you want to leave your car where it is....

Local beer is cack at best and the UK beers will usually cost more in the UK than in the Bottle Shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
