About Molly Bar

Molly Bar is a bar/restaurant/pub style venue with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor terrace on Soi Rambuttri offers a breezy place to chill and watch life pass by, while inside the atmosphere ramps up with live music and dancing and can get quite hectic.

Music: Lots of Live Bands

Music is a core feature at Molly Bar: they regularly put on live bands that play Thai-pop/rock and international hits. So if you enjoy live bands Molly is a strong choice. There are normally band sessions starting at around 8.30pm, 10.30pm and 12.30am. There are also occasional special events that feature a multiple DJ lineup.

Food & Drinks

• Molly Bar serves both Thai and international dishes alongside its drinks menu. The food is pretty good and while not cheap it is reasonably
• The drink selection includes standard bar offerings: local beers, cocktails, spirits. Keep an eye out for buy-one-get-one-free and other promotions

Molly Bar Highlights

• Live music nightly: one of the stronger options in the Khao San/Rambuttri area for live band performances.
• An attractice venue with both terrace/outdoor space and indoor performance floors.
• Good for mixing with locals and travellers in an energetic, less “touristy bar chain” style environment.
• Strategically located: just off the main Khao San Road drag in Soi Rambuttri, giving slightly more space and less street chaos while still being central.

Best Time to Visit

• Arrive around 9:00–10:00 pm (or earlier) if you can: early enough to grab seating, especially on the outdoor terrace.
• If you want full band & dance mode, wait until after 11:00 pm when the indoor floor is likely to be busiest.
• Weekends = busiest; weekdays = slightly more relaxed if you prefer calmer.

Molly Bar Insider Tips

Outdoor terrace: If you prefer a slightly more relaxed atmosphere, grab a table on the terrace early and enjoy the live music from a bit of distance.

Budget accordingly: Pricing may be higher than some more basic bars—check drink menus and any minimum spend or cover. Look out for specials & promotions.

Reserve or arrive early: On busier nights the best spots fill up.

Live band schedule: Check their social media (linked above) for band line-ups; some nights may feature bigger local acts.

Noise level: If you prefer conversation, pick the terrace or early arrival; inside can get loud when the band is playing.

Street food along the way: There are many food stalls along Soi Rambuttri so you can grab a bite before or after the bar.
