Sarkies Bar at The Strand Yangon

“A timeless classic that never disappoints. Sarkies Bar perfectly captures old-world colonial elegance with its warm lighting, polished wood, and calm, intimate atmosphere. Sitting at the bar feels like stepping into a quieter, more refined era — ideal for unwinding after a long day. The cocktails are well-crafted and balanced; refreshing, smooth, and thoughtfully presented. Pair that with their signature complimentary bar snacks — popcorn and peanuts — and it becomes an easy place to linger longer than planned. The Sarkies’ Triple Treat is a nice touch, making evenings here feel indulgent without being over the top. Service is attentive yet unobtrusive, letting you enjoy your drink and conversation in peace. This isn’t a loud nightlife spot — it’s for those who appreciate ambiance, heritage, and a well-made drink. ✨ Perfect for: Quiet conversations, date nights, business catch-ups, or solo reflection with a cocktail. ⭐ Overall: Elegant, classic, and effortlessly charming — one of Yangon’s most refined bar experiences.”

“Exceptional service! Good promotional items and events. Definitely the most classy bar for me to chill in Yangon. The building and interior says it all! I love my Caesar Martini, that was the first I’ve had from travelling around the world. Cool bartenders showing off their bartending skills! #iamkbonita #labonitaviajera #travellifestyle”

“Was very lucky to catch the soft re-opening of the bar after the hotel had been closed for a few years. Love the colonial vibes and the handsome interior. The staff were very friendly too. Unfortunately, they ran out of their signature Strand Sour, so I didn't get to try it. Perfect excuse to come back again.”

“This is a great place for chilling with friends. The bar is quite quiet and the environment is amazing. Happy hour starts at 5pm to 9pm, 50% off the drinks. There is a billiard table in there too. The staff are friendly and helpful. Recommended to visit for those who want to drink and chili out. Free flow of peanuts available.”

“Lovely old colonial hotel. Bar has a very posh feeling about it but welcomed in with my shorts and flip flops. Got there at 16:45, just before happy hour on the Friday. But they priced all my drinks as happy hour half price. Ended up paying around £12.50 for three large, one small beer and a cocktail. Aircon got a bit cold once it got dark out.”
