The North Gate Jazz Co-Op

Great place for live music! Musicians are amazing. Just get ready for a really packed, vibrant place. This also means probably no seating, and hard to get a drink in some cases. But if you’re going for the music will be totally worth it. Not sure if they have food, but they got a cool store too.

I was brought here with a friend who has local thai friends and this place is a gem. If you’re a music fan and you just want to listen and jam and drink some drinks and socialize then this is a good place. seating is scattered outside , inside and upstairs but everyone finds a spot and just enjoys the energy of the room. i wish i got better content but we sat inside back and it was great. highly recommend if your on a date or with a friend and just wanna vibe out.

I love the place and the bands are really good. No entrance fee. You can listen to the band play without any fees.. I love their craft beer and its really good with the jazz music being played

🎷 North Gate Jazz Co-Op – 3 nights in Chiang Mai, 3 nights here. That says it all. If you’re in Chiang Mai and even into jazz, this is the place. I came once… and ended up coming back three nights in a row. That’s how good it was. There’s a cocktail bar right outside the entrance (cocktails ~300 baht), but honestly, this place has more of a beer-and-live-music kind of vibe. So I went for a classic Singha 🍺 🎶 Live shows start at 8:30 PM, and I arrived early on the first night — got a front row seat. And wow. The energy, the talent, the connection with the crowd — pure endorphins. That first night was magic. Still thinking about it. I came back the next two nights, but nothing beat that first performance. On the second day, I arrived late and had to sit off to the side behind the keyboard — still fun, but front view is everything. Third night, I came solo and got a decent front-facing seat, but still not that golden front row. So listen carefully: Come early. Get a front row seat. It hits different. Seriously. What surprised me most? Jazz, to me, used to be music for cozy winter cafés and warm lattes — But here, in the heat of Chiang Mai, watching these fiery live performances, it felt completely new and alive 🔥 On the last night, they even had a vocalist with rock energy — totally different vibe and still amazing. 🎤 The crowd? Packed every night. Full of travelers, jazz lovers. The energy is unbeatable. But one final tip (and it’s serious): Avoid the outdoor bar seats. On my last night, I left my window-side seat, looked over at the outdoor bar… a line of cockroaches casually marching by😱 Indoor seats only.

What a great venue. The level of the musicians during the jams is from another world. But the best is, it is packed! So much appreciation by an audience of about 150 fans you don't get often....

This place is an institution. It brings the vibes. I've been in chiang mai about a month and can go here repeatedly. They kick off upstairs around 7pm in an intimate show that changes each night. Once that finishes, downstairs is already filling up for the evening. Music starting around 8pm. Go enjoy it, buy a drink and maybe even support the musicians with a tip or the venue by purchasing something in the shop!

Came early and glad I did — the place fills up fast! Live music upstairs starts at 7:30 PM Jazz downstairs kicks off at 8:30 PM It’s small and packed, but the musicians? Seriously incredible. 100% worth it.

Incredible here. The musicians are so talented and you can tell that they love the music. I only wish that it did not close so early because I had a wonderful time here.
