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

Check out the live music venues! Saxophone has been a Bangkok live music institution since 1987, just a short walk from the Victory Monument BTS station, and offers live music every night. There are three sets: an acoustic set starting at 7:30 pm, the main band from 9:00 pm to around 11:30 pm, and a late-night band from midnight to 1:30 am. The program varies between jazz, blues, big band, Latin, soul, funk, and reggae. If you have a particular style of music in mind, it's best to check the venue's website for the current weekly schedule.

It's not just a place for listening. The volume is set so you can still easily have a conversation at your table, and the atmosphere loosens up as the evening progresses until people are spontaneously singing and dancing along. There are two floors, and upstairs there's floor seating and a pool table. The food menu is extensive, featuring mainly Thai dishes, and the cocktail menu boasts over a hundred different drinks. The drinks are a bit more expensive than in other live music bars, and the bill can add up over the course of a long night.

Entry is usually free; there is no cover charge. After 9:00 PM, tables fill up quickly, especially on weekends. The pub only accepts reservations by phone at 02 246 5472. It is open from 6:00 PM until approximately 2:00 AM.

Take BTS Exit 4 at Victory Monument, walk towards the monument, and the pub is located in a small street on the right-hand side, about two minutes away.
