Under the same management as the Astra Club, Club Culture is the place for trance/house music addicts. Nestled on quiet Sri Ayutthaya Road, it is the only club of its kind in the area. The team has kept all the original fittings in what was once a theatre.

Hu’u bar is decorated in a modish Bali style with Thai silk sofas and dark wood floors. The drink list extends beyond 150 choices of cocktails and the music played here ranges from jazz to chillout sounds.

Huge bars, television sets and a jukebox reveal The Barbican's sports pub style. The first floor is where the action of the night is and where most of the dancing takes place as the night gets fired up. The second floor houses a European-style restaurant.

A restaurant by day and bar by night, this establishment may well be the most famous establishment on Khaosarn road. The strip started as a locale for backpackers but has now upgraded itself into a hip and happening venue.

Escudo, a long-time Bangkok favourite, recently reopened with a brand-new look but offering the same concept: hip- hop fun in style. The new interactive bar provides entertainment while waiting for the alcohol to kick in.
