Intimate Vibes & Authentic Blues

Adhere The 13th Blues Bar is a charming spot in Bangkok that never disappoints. Every visit is a delightful experience, with tasty margaritas and live blues music that sets the perfect mood for an enjoyable evening. It's a must-visit whenever we're in the city.

Scruffy Murphy's Irish Pub

Scruffy Murphy's Irish Pub is a delightful find in Bangkok, especially for those seeking an authentic Irish experience.

Aleez, the bar manager with an Irish accent, adds a charming touch to the atmosphere, making it a highly recommended spot for a taste of Ireland.

My Top 5 Irish Pubs in Bangkok: It's an authentic ☘️ Irish pub with live music several days a week that broadcasts major sporting events on HD screens. There is indoor and outdoor seating and a pool table upstairs. It is the successor to the popular Victoria Pub. Scruffy's serves Western and Thai dishes. I like their Larb Moo Tod.
