Personalities such as Mick Jagger, Matt Dillon, Oliver Stone, Eric Cantona, Michelle Yeoh, Steven Segal, Collin Farrell, Jackie Chan, Rick Yune, Michael Rapaport, Jay Sean, the Black Eyed Peas, the G-Unit, and the Backstreet Boys, have lounged about while soaking up the resident DJ's mix of chill-out and club tunes. Billed as the first New York style cocktail bar in the Thai capital, Q Bar attracts an edgy, cosmopolitan crowd. Beautiful people and a variety of music along with what has always been Bangkok's best-stocked bar are what keeps people coming back so if that's your scene this is probably still the best place to go in Bangkok. it's not a large palce and is set on the site of an old Thai house that was converted into this two-story club. It looks a bit like what you might picture a S&M bar to look like from the outside -- dark and forbidding -- and the inside is slick and hi-tech looking. Regular DJs and occassionally special guest DJs spin tunes a variety of tunes depending on the night. The special attractions each night are as follows; Friday Night Fix w/Kimball Collins playing Freestyle House; Saturday Bangers & Mashups w/DJ Octo playing Remixes & Mashups of Hip-Hop, House, Rock and everything in between; Beat Therapy Sundays w/DJ's Tul and Tech-12 playing R&B & Hip-hop; Mondays - Fredrick Funk; Tuesdays - Fourplay w/Joeki playing Afro, Latin, and Percussive House; Block Party Wednesdays w/Sum-1 and Octo playing Hip-Hop Old 2 the New; Thursdays - Electro.
