☰Space 34

One of the livelier bars in Thimphu, with regular live music and a younger local crowd. Space 34 books Bhutanese bands most weekend nights — a mix of traditional music, folk-rock, and pop — and stays busy well past midnight on Fridays. The drinks list includes local Bhutanese brands: Red Panda beer and Bhutan Mist whisky. A good option if you want to see the local social scene rather than the expat bar circuit.
