Darling Wine bar, an old favourite of the Chiang Mai gay scene in the past has reverted to Gay ownership. It was acquired recently by a charismatic Gay couple who promise to uphold its tradition as a purveyor of excellent wines. At the same time, they plan to broaden it’s appeal to the general gay clientele of Chiang Mai and offer a new alternative in a good location.
The Darling Wine bar is located on the northern side of Huay Kaew Rd just west of the Rinkham intersection with the superhighway and Nimanheminda road. It’s right next to the Rinkham market, which is a popular destination for local Thais, with it’s wide selection of reasonably priced clothes. There is plenty of parking available in the lot behind the bar and a rear entrance for easy access. See our gay map of Chiang Mai for the exact loacation www.radchada.com/ChiangMaiGayMap.html
Opening hours are from 5 p.m. Closed on Monday. If you like wine this sophisticated place has probably the best selection in Chiang Mai. The previous owners still have their wine import and distribution business in Chiang Mai which will continue to assist the Darling Wine Bar by sourcing those more unusual and interesting wines from around the globe.
