2010 Guide to the Chiangmai Beer Garden Scene

Beer garden (from the German "Biergarten") is an open-air area where beverages, (preferably beer), and prepared food are served. In Chiang Mai it's the same but there are typically two styles of beer gardens, one with music and one with sports. Depends on your style you like the sports they show are either muay thai or european football (soccer).

List of Beer Gardens in Chiangmai

Blah Blah Blah

This place is a great place to relax with mates and not really the place to meet new people. It's a magnet for 22+ y/o's who just want to hang out drink and have some good food. There current promotion is 3 large Leo beers for 120 baht. They have a band that plays mostly thai acoustic music. This place closes at midnight and a short stroll up the road and you'll be at the Monkey nightclub.

Inside Park

In true beer garden style this out of the way restaurant/beer garden is the perfect setting for a date or just to hang out at. It's recommended you take your own transport to get there as getting home will be problematic as it's not in a touristy area. They often have promotions on beer so always ask about the promotions. Simmilar to Blah Blah Blah there are waterfalls and lush greenery. This place has a huge big screen TV which seems to always show the latest European football match. Mostly a haunt for thais but a great place for you to eat and drink before you go to the more expensive nightclubs in chiangmai.

 MIX

The latest spot on Nimmanhaemin, Mix has taken over from the old Drunken Flower location at the end of Soi 1. The house and garden has been completely renovated, redecorated and updated. The lovely old wooden house is now air-conditioned and decked out in decadent pleather, Moroccan chandeliers, cut glass and palettes of colour. The outdoors area is still lushly green, though more concreted up, and there are funky features such as life sized Chinese statues (pink!) and blue-lit tables. Mix is still spanking new and suffering from growing pains (no tonic, no wine, no mossie repellent, no outdoors fan), but it has potential. The Thai-Chinese-Western food is really good and very reasonably priced (80-120ish baht per dish) and the cocktails are a piddly 70 baht or so a glass and there is a big Heineken promotion going on. They open for lunch selling kao soi and kanom jeen. Mix it up. Open daily from 5 p.m. - 1 a.m. Lunch: 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Dinner: 5 p.m. - 1 a.m. End of Nimmanhaemin Soi 1 Tel: 0897 577 778
