The Pentatonic Rock Bar is located at the Zoe in Yellow corner, a lane just off the city centre, in Chiang Mai. There are many pubs and nightspots here and the area is frequented by tourists from all over. Here is their Facebook page
The Pentatonic Rock Bar is not much to look at (interior/exterior) and its menu is sparse – beer only (at 120 baht) and no cocktails. But if you are looking for real rock/metal music, this is the place.
A few bands take to the stage each night, each playing for about an hour. Once in a while, guest bands drop by.
The night usually starts off slow with some quieter, slower music, before the thrash kicks in later on, usually after 10pm. Some songs that I have heard there before include:
Holy Wars… And the Punishment Due – Megadeth
Symphony of Destruction – Megadeth
Master of Puppets – Metallica
Enter Sandman – Metallica
Raining Blood – Slayer
Walk - Pantera
In short, this place is definitely worth a visit for rock & heavy metal lovers. A word of caution though - a quick search on online reveals that several tourists have been assaulted while in the area, so it is best to keep a low profile and watch your surroundings while you are there.
