Anyway, I went to The Hangout a couple of Sundays ago in the late afternoon. The place was almost empty except for 4 farangs seated around a table. There were (different) sports being shown on a few screens but then there was a problem and ended up with nothing being shown. It looked as if the system neede re-booting but no-one was really interested. The service was average - to- poor, the food was (just) OK, and there was no atmosphere at all. A friend told me that it's better at night with occasional "live" music being played by CM musicians. Regards, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once KFC gets rolling it's going to draw the heavy traffic..... Might have a chance as a bar as a night venue or it will be short lived....It's not in a drunks corridor & waaay off the beaten track for such.....Good dining is not exactly a hallmark for Kad Farang....

Stamsy my good cobber, one thread only started by me ,which was put up on this thread, (post #2), and you were the biggest contribitor to that thread and leading again on this thread LOL. BTW my favourite watering hole,is not The Hangout but the Four Seasons Resort Maerim, perhaps too up market for you and besides have nt been to the Hangout since Halloween Nite, early November with a few beautiful Maerimites, the Hangout is not the venue for God,s Waiting Room crowd, but the IN crowd who enjoy fantabalous live music,and having a good time its a Beautiful Maerimite, good morning to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharktooth Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 It's an improvement on The Game, but the food is still rank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuurman Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Saturday nights are pretty good, reasonable crowd, live music and food not to bad if you know what to order (hint stay away from the Thai food). Service is attentive. Some girls speak not to much English, if you don't speak Thai there is always the head waitress who is bilingual so any misunderstandings are easy solved.

I thought it was just a bar with mediocre food. (OR, do "members" get better food / service and a working TV)? Unfortunately I don't see the "IN" crowd driving circa 10k's on a regular basis (even to enjoy fantabalous live music, and having a good time) when there are similar / better entertainment venues in Chiang Mai city. It might also be wise not to so casually dismiss the "God's Waiting Room Crowd". They are precisely the sort of customers who can provide added revenue during the daytime when the "IN" crowd are recovering from the night before.

cyberfarang Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Like many of these places in Chiang Mai, the Hangout is literally just that; a hangout, it`s tame and nothing to write home about. I would not go out of my way to visit there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chatting with him I dont think theres any special changes afoot.. I would say hes had some staffing issues a month or so back and theres been some ups and downs with opening times and possibly even quality levels as hes been off playing in the band and staff just dont seem able to maintain anything unless hes doing it all.. I have seen some complaints which I would guess is due to the issues mentioned. Hes a good lad is Nicky and turns out great grub, but really could benefit from scaling up enough to have some decent staff to not be so 100% reliant on him doing it all.. and yet maintain his quality.. Its kind of in that catch 22 situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
