The Garrison

I made a table reservation about one week in advance, but when I arrived, the staff informed me that the reservation had not been noted. As a result, I had to wait until a table became available. The music was a bit too loud at times. Overall, the atmosphere was nice, but this place may not be my first choice to visit again.

Too bad. I absolutely do NOT recommend this place. I was given a table, but without asking for my consent, the staff suddenly moved me to the front bar. No explanation. No apology. Nothing. They literally came straight to my glass, grabbed it, and moved it away without saying a single word. I was completely confused about what was happening. Only after they placed my glass at the front bar did I realize they had decided to move me—again, without any explanation. When I asked what was going on, they said nothing. I’m Thai, and the staff are Thai. If this is how they treat Thai customers, I can’t imagine how a foreigner would be treated in the same situation. This was extremely disrespectful. It felt like they didn’t see me as a customer at all—more like someone begging for a seat, even though I was paying like everyone else. Honestly, this place has zero respect for customers. I truly do NOT recommend this bar. If you’re thinking of coming here—please run away.

There are several bars in the Saphan Khwai area, and this one had a few live bands playing and a buy-one-get-one drink promotion, which made it quite decent for the price. The drinks were okay, not bad at all. However, the place was very loud — the ceiling is low, and the volume was turned up so high that it felt overwhelming. If you’re meeting friends, be prepared to shout to have a conversation. I ended up with a sore throat the next day just from trying to talk. I didn’t order any food, just had drinks. Overall, this place might be better suited for someone who wants to come alone or with one other person to focus on the music. If you’re planning to hang out with a group, it’s probably not ideal since it’s really hard to have a proper conversation. Also, the restroom is on the second floor and a bit inconvenient to access.
