Sudsanan
Down a driveway opposite a Shell Service Station, this warmly lit wooden house is filled with a lot of local soul. Long-haired Thais and expats, especially from local NGOs, come here to applaud the adept performances that jog from samba to pleng pêu·a chee·wít (songs for life). Oozing with character it's one of the best spots in the city to take in some local Thai bands. Be prepared for some bowed heads and sniffles during particularly tear-jerking songs.

Le Brasserie
A popular late-night spot filled with devotees of local guitarist legend Took. Rock and blues from all the dead legends fill the set. It's about 500m north of Saphan Nawarat, right on the river.

Riverside Bar & Restaurant
In a twinkly setting on Mae Ping, Riverside is a one of the longest-running live-music venues in Chiang Mai. The cover bands made up of ageing Thai hippies stake out centre stage and fill the room with all the singalong tunes from the classic-rock vault. It is the perfect antidote for electronica overload. Also good as an eatery.

Bridge Bar
In their words, chic, retro and ready. Chic? Ummm, yes a little. Retro? Not really. Ready? Ready for what?! Well, anyway, this is a very cool, local small bar (a nice change from the sprawling bar-restaurants in these sois) that hosts local bands in the evenings on most weekend nights and sometimes during the week too. Be warned the music is loud, so bring earplugs if you're a little sensitive to throbbing decibel levels.
