BRAND NEW SUGAR
Soundtrack: Tracks of my tears - Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
When Brown Sugar Jazz Bar announced that they were closing, my heart broke a little and got bitter about the invasion of Top 40 bars.
Then good news surfaced, they have relocated to Phra Sumen road. Though I must admit, I pouted still a little cause it's quite far from my house. Compared to their original spot which was a 10 minute walk. My nightly dose of live jazz was no longer a stone throw away.
After flagging down several tuk tuks to ask for directions, I finally found it. You can't really miss it, it jumps out from other creepy-looking buildings that surround it.
Walking in, I was taken back by the shear size of it. They have taken over a whole building. A whole building of Jazz and Art goodness.
Up front, the setting is more of a cafe vibe then as you walk in the trademark quirky art on the wall and random memorabilia are scattered around. Yes, you are definitely at Brown Sugar.
Slick and cool interior designs, everything is arranged to face the stage. Shows how it really is about the music. Love.
The little lamps has the reminiscence of the old Ronnie Scott's in London.
The Henri Matisse 'Jazz' art work on the wall. I proudly have the book at home. I'm definitely in the right place...
Mosquitos are not a giant problem. In any case Bangkokers should be swatting away them insects ninja style by now.
GET WITH THE MUSIC
The house band plays all the classics and bop. Modern tunes and sometimes switching up to funk.
Not many places in Bangkok has this sort of vibe or jazz bars as a matter a fact. So support your local artists and come down for some drinks, food and ear candy.
