The Heineken Bar

There's an air-conditioned room at the front

OK, so that's not actually its name, but we can't read Thai and there's a big Heineken sign outside - so that's what we call it.  Situated near the start of the Chanthaboon Waterfront, we ate here for the first time the other day and I have to say the food was outstanding.



Our gorgeous dinner

Dinner consisted of French fries (a Mr John personal favourite over here), crispy chicken wings served with a sweet chilli sauce (but with extra chilli) and Tom Yum soup.  Oh my word, the soup was delicious and Mr John couldn't get enough, which is a bit rich quite frankly as he used to turn his nose up at western soup!

TVs show movies in English

There's an eclectic mix of furniture and two TVs on the wall show films in English with Thai subtitles, however the volume is turned down so you kind of have to make up the plot if you don't know the film! The walls inside the bar have been painted white and the owner is more than happy to give you a marker pen and let you write your own message on the wall. 

At the front of the bar is an air-conditioned "lounge" and we have sat in there as a party of six.  The back of the bar is open to the elements (don't worry the roof is long enough that you won't get wet or have sun on you during the day) but there are plenty of fans and you get a really good view of the river and the local bridge.
