John's Place
Another old-school spot, John's dominates the triangular wedge of Th Ratchamankha and Soi 2 with neon and beer bellies. Climb the stairs past the faded posters of Thai scenery to the roof deck where a cold beer is good company at sunset and beyond. The downstairs bar is the place to park yourself if you want a chat with the locals (local expats that is).

Glass Onion
Tucked away at the far end of the walking mall is this small lounge bar outfitted in '60s-style mod fashions. While the barely legals try to blow their eardrums out at Nimmanhaemin's dance clubs, this is the domain of grown-ups desiring cocktails and conversation. The bar also enjoys a gay-friendly reputation. Friday night is ladies night and 7pm to 9pm is happy hour.

Pinte Blues Pub
This place deserves some sort of award for staying in business so long (more than 20 years) while serving only espresso and beer, and for sticking to a blues-music format the whole time. It is easy to walk by and not notice it, so you'll have to use your ears as your guide.

Mix Bar
Looking for a night out on a town that is more cosmopolitan than Chiang Mai? Chart a course to DusitD2 hotel's slinky cocktail bar, a swish elixir after roving the night market. The last weekend of the month hosts gay-friendly rainbow parties.

Writer's Club & Wine Bar
Run by an ex-foreign correspondent, this unassuming traveller hangout is popular with expats and serves a good range of cold beer and cocktails. There's also English pub grub to help anchor a liquid meal.

Kafe
A cute wooden affair with a couple of sunny, outdoor tables snuggled in beside Soi 5, Kafe is often crowded with Thais and backpackers when every other place is empty. It offers a simple formula: cheap cold beer and efficient service.

Darling serves fine wines by the glass or bottle in a sophisticated but relaxed atmosphere.

Rooftop Bar
This grungy backpacker bar is a good place to party. It's set out in rasta colours with plenty of graffiti and the inebriated sit around small, low tables on a bamboo floor admiring the views over Pratu Tha Phae and Doi Suthep beyond – until the dancing starts that is…

Dayli
This gi-normous outdoor bar-eatery is frankly a bit grotty. But it serves cheap, cold beer and service is attentive. The plastic chairs and tables on your right as you enter are a bit newer and cleaner – the further to the left you stray the more you invite trouble with hygiene. Has a rickety feel and the shady trees and palms give it a certain kitsch ambience. We like it! It's certainly party-central late Friday and Saturday nights.

At 9 Bar
For a bird's-eye view of all the action on Th Nimmanhaemin, pop into this upstairs, open-air bar. A great spot for a people watch, it's a perfect perch while you slug back a Chang (on tap).

Archers
Come to this chilled-out restaurant-bar for the cold beer and the people-watching – not the food. It's a good spot to knock back a couple in the afternoon with the newspaper and maybe your laptop (free wi-fi). Popular with expats and travellers.
