Warm Up Cafe

Warm Up Cafe is a long-running nightlife venue on Nimmanhaemin Road in Chiang Mai's Nimman district. The front room has a live Thai band playing mainly Thai songs with the odd English number, while a separate club at the back runs DJ sets for dancing.

The crowd is largely Thai, with many students, and the place fills up after about 10pm and is usually packed by midnight. Food runs from finger food to fuller dishes, alongside a wide choice of drinks, and staff keep beer glasses topped up at the table.

The dance floor is tight and tables sit close together. Doors open at 7pm and it runs until 3am every night. ID is checked at the door, so carry a passport or a copy.
