A few months back I went to Soi 24 for a night of music at Tokyo Joes Blues Bar, and was surprised to find it closed. I was pleased to learn later that TJs had simply moved to a new location on Soi 26 (opposite the Tara Hotel).
On Sunday I met a friend at the new location to check out the new venue. Tokyo Joes new location has a comfortable brick and wood interior, with a roomy stage and good sound system. Most nights professional musicians take the stage around 9:30, but on Sundays there is an open jam that is advertised as starting at 5:30.
I arrived at 5:30, but the music didn’t actually get started until close to 6:30. Not to worry – I hadn’t had dinner, so I checked out the food menu. There was a pasta special; for 180 baht you got a plate of spaghetti and a glass of wine. I ordered the meatball spaghetti, and was pleasantly surprised to get a good sized plate, with a half dozen large meatballs, flavorful sauce, shaved parmesan cheese and grated dried parmesan on the side. The red wine was good quality… all in all a very good value at 180 baht. Read the rest of this entry »
