It's a really nice place. It was a little difficult to have a conversation due to the live performance, but it was okay because there were breaks in between. I saw the performance on Friday and it was great. Part 1 was somewhat lyrical, but Part 2 consisted of exciting songs with simple movements that the audience could enjoy together.Personally, I thought it would be better to go alone or in pairs rather than rushing in a group. But I don't think there's any problem if you go as a group.(There is a Korean employee, and they say they also sell Korean food here.)It was nice to be able to have a warm and happy time. thank you- Second visit: I ordered fried chicken, sweet and sour pork, and kimchi pancake, and it was really delicious. So I was afraid. I think once Koreans find out about this place, they will all visit. It goes really well with beer, so I think it's going to be crazy if word of mouth starts spreading among Koreans.- 5th visit: Ordered tofu kimchi, fried squid, and chive pancake. And Wednesday is the rock band performance. I ate it with Saengssot and it was really great! I ordered everything on the Korean menu except stir-fried squid. (He said the stir-fried squid was spicy. I’m not good at eating spicy food.)- 6th visit: Ordered stir-fried squid. I was worried because they said it was spicy, but it wasn't spicy. I don't know if they adjusted the spiciness because I can't eat spicy food, or if it wasn't spicy to begin with, but it was very tasty. So much so that I want to eat it with rice. (They say they made it less spicy. If you can't eat spicy food, just ask for it to be less spicy.) Thursday's performance is a jam session. These guys are so funny. We really select songs and join together on the spot, and we ask ourselves, ‘What do we want to do together?’ 'I don't do it' 'No, if everyone says they won't do it, who will do it?' In this way, a skit is shown at the end of each song. Although a jazz bar that is famous among Koreans is called Jam Day, it is completely different from the stereotypical bar. It's literally an improvisation. (It's a joke that Americans have trouble communicating with Finnish and Italian people because they don't understand their English. LOL)Anyway, I tried all the Korean food menus sold here.- Unknown place. So, I hope this place is not polluted by Koreans. It's really nice that the genre of the performance changes every day. All Korean menus are good. I think chicken is the best with beer, and stir-fried squid is the best with Saengsom. Because it is a snack concept, the portion size is not large. (That does not mean it is expensive. It is cheap.) It is recommended to visit after filling your stomach first.

Best place for live music especially if you’re into music from the 60s-90s. The bar theme is 80’s and the facility is very nice. indoor AC with a big stage. Drinks are surprisingly cheap too, you can expect to pay 100 baht for a large beer. Over all I had a great experience!
