Saxophone Pub & Restaurant

What is it? There's hardly anyone in Bangkok who doesn't know Saxophone Pub & Restaurant. The two-storey wooden structure is absolutely packed with vintage collectibles, and stepping inside genuinely feels like being transported to a classic European pub.

Why we love it: The music lineup here is stacked with top tier talent, spanning big band jazz, blues and fusion without ever feeling like it's trying too hard. A real highlight is the Saxophone All Stars band, who captivate audiences every single time they perform – which is honestly most nights of the week. The playlist stays highly diverse and accessible, and it's so much fun that on some nights you'll see people getting up to dance along without a second thought. The drink menu takes things just as seriously as the music does, offering a full selection of craft beers and cocktails that are actually worth ordering.

Time Out tip: The pub opens daily at 6pm. Arriving before the first set starts at 7.30pm is highly recommended if you want to secure a prime seat near the stage.

3/8 Phayathai Rd. Open daily 6pm-2am
