Noir CMI Chiang Mai
Chiang Mai, ThailandChiang Mai's most atmospheric speakeasy — a Brutalist hideaway tucked at the back of a dimly lit parking lot off Charoen Prathet Road, accessible only if you know it's there. Inside: a low-ceilinged jazz cave of raw concrete and warm amber light, live jazz every evening (except Monday), and a cocktail menu that changes every three months. The bartenders have international competition credentials. Perpetually one of Chiang Mai's most talked-about secret spots.

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.
