Manifesto Bar Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai, Thailand

About Manifesto Bar Chiang Mai

A sophisticated hidden cocktail bar on the fringe of the Old City, accessible only through a unmarked door in a narrow lane, with a vibe somewhere between 1970s Tokyo jazz bar and Parisian cave à cocktails. The rotating seasonal menu draws on northern Thai ingredients — butterfly pea flowers, betel leaves, lemongrass, galangal — balanced with classic French techniques. Frequently cited as one of Chiang Mai's finest cocktail experiences.

Zoe in Yellow

The solo traveler's unofficial meeting point every night in Chiang Mai. Not fancy — just the right energy, cheap drinks, and everyone's alone and okay with it.

Bar Not Found Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai's quirkiest hidden bar — tucked up a flight of bright orange stairs off Changphuak Soi 4, with no sign outside and no social media presence beyond Instagram. Each cocktail is named after a colour, served in beautifully minimal glassware. Very affordable, unpretentious, and genuinely creative — the kind of place that wins international recognition while staying local at heart. The perfect first speakeasy for solo travelers in Chiang Mai.

Forbidden Bar Chiang Mai

A moody, modern speakeasy hidden above an ice cream shop on Nimman Soi 5 — follow the dark staircase past the freezers to find a surprising intimate cocktail bar with dessert-inspired cocktails and dramatic lighting. Known for its creative menu that pairs Thai flavours with classic cocktail techniques: lychee Martinis, pandan Negronis, and butterfly pea Gimlets. One of Nimman's best value evening destinations.
