Saxophone
This place is a bugger to find if you are going for the first time but it is well worth the effort if you are into jazz and blues.
Saxophone is a lot bigger on the inside than you think it’s going to be. It looks like it was originally two houses knocked into one. A tell tale remnant of wall, to the left as you go in, is scarcely disguised by a trumpet sticking out from it. There is a saxophone fixed to a red brick arch that juts out from the bar and a gaggle of tubas occupy a perch high above the stage.
What would have been the upstairs has been knocked down leaving just enough floor-space around the edges to create an all round balcony overlooking the bar and the stage area.
Take the skytrain to Victory Monument. When you get off the train go down from the platform and follow the walkway under the train lines towards the monument itself. As the train lines veer to the right so should you. Look down to the street below and look for the black ‘Jack Daniels’ sign on the line of buildings that face the market and eating out area. You’ll have to keep walking a bit to the next flight of steps down then make your way back to that Jack Daniels sign.
There is also a branch of saxophone in Patong Beach, Phuket.
