North Gate Spirit

★ 4.6 · 230 reviews Chiang Mai Opened 2026

Coffee by day, house-distilled shochu cocktails by night

Por, who runs the North Gate Jazz Co-Op a few streets over, keeps this second spot low-key: blonde wood, a high ceiling, no menu tricks. Mornings mean coffee. Come early evening the room turns into a cocktail bar built around house-distilled shochu.

A turntable spins jazz records at the back while you drink. The bar calls its own pace unhurried, not built for turnover, so settle in rather than rush the pour.

    Northgate Spirit in Chiang Mai is one of those bars that gets the atmosphere exactly right, dim lighting, white textured walls paired with wood accents, and an overall feeling that’s intimate and private without trying too hard. The drinks here are clearly well thought out, using local ingredients in ways that actually make sense. I ordered the Rakshury, a gin based cocktail made with รากชู, a plant that grows wild in the Chiang Mai hills, served alongside crispy pork that complemented the drink’s mix perfectly. It’s the kind of place that feels personal and considered, easily one of my favorite spots in the city for a quiet, well made cocktail.

    Art cafe in Chiang Mai, the coffee is quite good! Worth the price paid. I ordered a medium roasted latte with oat milk. The taste and aroma of the coffee is still very good. The place is beautiful. The construction is impressive. Easy access to the traditional construction here while drinking coffee.

    Very very nice café in Chiang Mai. The decoration is sophisticated, the staff are nice, the coffees are good and unique. I have nothing to say except that you need to come here for a chill and good coffe experience.

    The setting alone is worth the visit — a beautifully crafted space drawing inspiration from Northern Thai architecture, inside and out. The mood it creates is truly exceptional. The drinks match the ambiance perfectly, and the fact that they produce their own spirit in-house makes it all the more impressive.
