Why Travelers Love The Good
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Lovely restaurant with great ambience. The live music was incredible and the energy was palpable. Various fun spot if you’re looking for a high energy fun place to hang with friends or family. The menu has a nice mix of traditional Thai food and western food and surprise, also sushi. I would say the food was pretty good just not exceptional, but I would definitely go back because the music and energy was really nice in the spot. Legendary bar and restaurant that's been here for decades. This is a great place for dates, family, and friends to relax and enjoy the scenery, the food, and the music. The menu is full of options including Western food and vegetarian options. Staff is very attentive and can speak English. Highly recommend! We returned 4 months later and it's even better! The live music is great, and the service was amazing as always. Great atmosphere by the river with live music and a wide variety of Thai and international dishes. The grilled river prawns were fresh and perfectly cooked. Friendly staff, quick service, and beautiful night views of the Ping River. A must-visit in Chiang Mai.

Good local food with a mix of Japanese fusion. It turns into a bar at night that a lot of locals and foreigners enjoy.
