Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

The Do You Ever Social Club is a charming neighborhood bar on Siri Mangkalajarn Road, not far from Chiang Mai University. It attracts mainly local Thais, but also tourists who happen to be passing by. Its eclectic decor and relaxed atmosphere give it a unique character that sets it apart from the city's more touristy bars. The music selection is consistently praised by patrons.

The drinks menu focuses on classics – beer, Thai whiskey, and well-mixed cocktails – at remarkably reasonable prices. Gin and tonics start at around 130 THB, and according to critics, they are properly mixed and not watered-down, cheap versions. In addition to drinks, food is also available, making the bar ideal for both early and late evening visits. It opens daily at 5:00 PM and closes at 1:00 AM.

Conveniently, the bar accepts card payments without any extra charge – a real advantage in an area where cash-only bars are still common. During the week, the bar is usually quieter, making it ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. Of course, it's livelier on weekends.
