Hip Bar in Nakhon Ratchasima opened in 2014. It is located near Boss hotel, where “Living Bar” was operating few years ago.
This is outside the place. Inside, you will find a pool table at the entrance and a DJ booth. It is switching between a very good live DJ and musicians with dancers and singers. The show normally starts around 1 am.
Some large screens behind the stage are showing sports and there is a very nice lighting, including laser and others. The sound system is sure to make you make with some of the best music available in Korat city.

About Isaan Cuisine
The Isaan region of northeastern Thailand has its own distinct culinary tradition, influenced by Lao and Khmer cultures. Signature dishes include som tam (spicy papaya salad), larb (spiced minced meat salad), sticky rice (khao niao), and grilled chicken (gai yang). Food in Isaan tends to be spicier and more sour than central Thai food, using ingredients like padaek (fermented fish sauce) and fresh herbs.
