The famous big bright yellow smiley face of Happy Cafe & Noodles can be found in quite a few venues in town. The most enjoyable setting is in the garden of the beautiful colonial building which shelters the inya Road Branch. Their patio is the place to go for some relaxing drinks and a couple of shared plates of Myanmar foods. Their menu focuses on Myanmar snacks, rice and noodles but offers Western options too (and cheap cocktails).

Min Lann is famous for its seafood and Rakhine, noodle called Rakhine Mote Tee. Choose your fish, lobster or shells from the counter: they will cook it as you order and serve it with green chilli sauce. There are many outlets of Min Lann Restaurant in Yangon and all are crowded till late at night.
Chilling with bucket of beer and specials tasters such as freshly-cooked Tilapia with spicy mango salad on top and fried prawn rings sounds like a perfect time. Why not dine at the Bar4U, where you can do just that.

La Carovana has received mixed reviews. It is an exclusive place with high pricing and Nouvelle cuisine portions. The setting, on the first floor of the Villa is plain compared to the bar downstairs and the beer garden outside. The quality of the food varies and we hope they will manage to reach the standard they aspire to provide.
Discretely located in the downstairs of No. 22, this unique bar showcases signature yet inventive cocktails, influenced by the flavours of South East Asia and created by the Hong Kong-based cocktail specialists, Tequila Mockingbird.

Visitors to The New Boris will be entertained with a new genre of sound combining everything from tribal beats and vintage tracks to unique to Myanmar sound effects and recordings. The unique design of the bar hosts contemporary colour stripes and stark white utilitarian tiles, juxtaposed against locally sourced Colonial style rattan loungers, upholstered in Chin fabrics weaved in the hills of northern Myanmar.

The Penthouse is starting a revolution in Mynamar with this one of a kind industrial chic mediteranean bistrot on the top of the Parkside one building in Midtown Yangon. The Penthouse is the place to be for your business or casual lunch, for an afterwork drink, dinner and great parties with its breath taking view on the Shwe Dagon Pagoda and downtown.
Despite the name, this venue is great for families and friends alike. Not only is it open till late, there is also a 24-hour food court right upstairs.
This is one of the only rooftop pools in Yangon! However, it closes at 5pm so unfortunately, give up the dream of sipping cocktails in your bikini … Their signature Gin-based cocktail is called “Parami Censured” and is made with raspberries, cherries, ginger and lemongrass. Enjoy a romantic atmosphere until 9pm, and a more electro DJ set from 9pm till late.
