Pratunam

Saxophone Pub
3/8 Phaya Thai Rd

18:00-01:30 daily
BTS Victory Monument

One of the best pubs to catch live playing jazz and blues bands. The interior is beautifully decorated with old guitars and cymbals. Even while its crowded, the atmosphere is cosy. It is very much focused on experiencing the music, as the public sits and stands in a semicircle around the band. Don't come here for the food, as it is not great and overpriced. Beers and cocktails the latter served in a saxophone glass are also more expensive than elsewhere in Bangkok.

The Rock Pub
Hollywood Street Bldg, 93/26-28 Phaya Thai Rd
+66 2 251-9980
19:00-02:00 daily
BTS Ratchathewi

This is the home of rock and metal in Bangkok. The owner is a rock musician himself and has been dedicated to make this the place to be for those interested in the genre. Two bands play every night, the first one starts playing at 21:30 and the second one at 23:45. Expect a lot of Metallica and Nirvana covers.
