A relatively small space just a couple of blocks north of Khao San Road, on Thanon Samsen, just beyond the bridge, Ad Here the 13th was a dopetastic blues joint.
With enough room for five small tables, a bar and the band’s equipment the place seemed cozy even at 9pm when we were the only people there. The many pictures, paintings and record sleeves hanging from the wall, plus all the random objects on and around the bar give it an air of smokey blues bar sans the smoke. (Which is something that made me very happy.)
Before the clock hit 10, there was standing room only but I never got that stuffy feeling. The vibe at the place was just lovely and the music, the guitar, the bass, the harp… as bluesy as it can get.
The drinks are quite good too. Cocktails are not too strong but well done and a very good deal considering the overall experience. You’ll drop 150B for a big Long Island, 120B for most other drinks, and 80 to 100B for beer.
Things begin to slow down around midnight so Ad Here the 13th is an excellent spot to start your night, or simply put, an excellent spot, period.
