The buzz: Ekkamai’s latest addition combines live music, food and a chilled out atmosphere. Sound familiar?
The décor: The first floor reflects the bar’s name—with bamboo patterns lining the wall. Up on top, it’s even more chilled out with a lighter and brighter décor plus a billiard table for entertainment. For an even more relaxing sensation (at least for some of us), visit their plush green open-air smoking zone.
The music: Chilled music for a chilled atmosphere. House bands rotate on a weekly basis playing a variety of original tracks from jazz, blues, pop rock and adult contemporary. However, you might want to position yourself away from the speakers.
The crowd: Mainly the 9 to 5 workforce who ache for a bit of relaxation after a day’s toil. Occasionally, you’ll find musicians who come in for a taste of some live music.
The price: Cocktails B190, whiskey B1,200-1,800.
Why you’ll come back: It’s a friendly little place with reasonable prices. Or, for those with dreams of stardom, pop in on Mondays for their open-mic night.
