This was an old haunt of my wife's so when we went she was really happy. Good snacks, cheap drinks and very good music - the atmosphere is great. Can get crowded as its just a small place but a big reputation in BKK More

Perfect jazz venue. The food was better than I remember (steamed fish was very fresh and well prepared) , great prices, good music an all around fun time. Hard to beat if you like live music and fun times. More

It's a dark and slightly claustrophobic bar, in other words, a perfect jazz and blues venue! :-D The music was excellent and you can sit right close up to the musicians - there is a small bar that rings the stage so they play right in your face. But you can also sit at tables farther back, or upstairs and... More

Being one of the few Bangkok Jazz and Blues venues is the only reason that this restaurant exists. I visited about six years ago, and the premises were rather cramped and grubby, but maybe that is the exactly right style for this kind of place. (They may have refurbished since.) The food and drinks were palatable, but nothing special, and... More

For almost 20 years this cavernous bar and restaurant has been filling nightly, thanks to the attractions of two or three live bands a night, excellent food and reasonable prices. The Thai food is some of the best available in town, and the mugs of draft beer help to wash it down very well. The last live band of the... More

It is early evening and Bangkok in late February is as hot and sultry as ever. I am with a few friends and they are all music lovers. We walk down the steps of the BTS at Victory Monument and head towards the square and just before we enter it, we turn right and Phaya Thai Road begins right there... More

Saxophone is an amazing-looking space. The sign says it's been open since 1987 and it looks like that was probably the last time they cleaned it. But, that's part of the charm. A nice escape from the many Bangkok "Hi-so" haunts. For hardcore jazz fans, the music may be a bit of a let down. But, the Heineken draft in... More

Good music ... little loud for me. Busy location. Food is ok. Drink prices are not the cheapest but this is offset by the good music. Toilets are a horror. Dont expect the staff to be attentive they are usually too busy talking to each other. I will continue to go to Saxophone for the music. Nothing sepectacular to write... More
