Rere Khaosan Restaurant & Bar

Overview

Rere Khaosan is a popular and relatively new hybrid restaurant/bar located at 190 Khaosan Road. It offers a daytime dining experience with Thai and European dishes, and transforms later in the evening into a more lively venue with live music, DJs and a club-style feel.

About

During the day, Rere functions as a relaxed restaurant where you can enjoy a meal or a few beers while watching the bustle of Khao San Road pass by. As night falls, the venue ramps up: two floors, DJs, live bands, dancing, and more of a bar/club feel. It’s pretty spacious and more inviting than some of the KSR bars and offers a comfortable seating setup.

Music

Live music is a key component at Rere Khaosan. Live bands play regularly in the evenings, as do DJs. The music style tends to be crowd-friendly, entertainment-oriented rather than pure club EDM. Check the social media listed above to see who’s playing.

Food & Drinks

Food: The menu covers Thai classics like pad thai and green curry, as well as western dishes. Prices are very reasonable and the quality is pretty good.
Drinks: Beer (bottled and draught), cocktails, mixers and drink buckets are available. Prices are in line with what you generally pay on Khaosan, with bottled beer starting at around 110 Baht

Rere Khaosan Highlights

• The venue’s hybrid identity – relaxed restaurant by day, busy live-music bar and dance floor by night – makes it a versatile spot for any mood
• Great location on Khao San Road: central and easy to find.
• Relatively spacious compared to many smaller Khao San bars; more comfortable for mixed groups (dinner + drinks + music).
• Rere invariably has a fun atmosphere, it’s a good choice if you’re looking for somewhere to let your hair down and enjoy your evening.

Best Time to Visit

• Daytime (midday – 5pm): Ideal for a relaxed meal, watching the street scene, quieter drinks.
• Evening (8 pm-10 pm): Great for dinner + drinks with live music starting to build.
• Late night (10 pm onwards, especially weekends): Expect full bar mode, live band or DJs, dancing – if you’re up for it.
• For more casual conversation and/or dining, arrive earlier; for full party mode, go later.

Insider Tips

• Check the entertainment schedule ahead via their Instagram (link at top of the page) to align your visit with music you’ll enjoy.
• If visiting for dinner, try to go before the big crowds arrive to avoid slower service.
• If you’re sensitive to noise or want a meal rather than dancing, plan to wrap up before the late-night transition.
• For a group of friends with mixed interests (some want dinner, some want dancing), this place can satisfy both: just coordinate where you sit and when you arrive.
