50th Street Restaurant Bar - Yangon

Nice place to hang out. We have the great time there?

It's very cold and beautiful. The food is also very good. Obviously his somewhat more expensive than local restaurants (2for a coke, equal for a beer, 8usd for a bean burger and 6usd for a Jalapeño and Hummus Wrap) BUT it was worth it! The fries have a really nice season. And the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Was quiet when I went in, there was something being filmed upstairs. Decided to prop door open for half an hour whilst they removed filming equipment so got eaten alive by mossies. Got a few beers on tap and bottle available. Ate the burger which was small but tasty.

50th Street Bar is one of the longer running establishments in the Yangon bar market and, as the name implies, is located on the lower part of 50th Street. It is a hybrid restaurant bar arrangement stylised as a sports bar where they air the Premier League and sometimes tennis. It is a popular place among expats and has a casual vibe to it. 50th Street bar is an obvious first choice for meeting friends or bringing a date. The bar is located in an old colonial building and is spread across two floors which is connected by a winding stairs in the middle. I feel perhaps that the bar could be better served if it extended seating to an outdoor terrace or the balcony (which is inaccessible). The staff here are, for the most part, friendly and enthusiastic and Wi Fi is available on request. The Wi Fi is pretty decent. The menu is diverse and offers anything from Pizza (margarita recommended) to the famed 50th Street Nachos. The usual Yangon beer is on offer too as well as some cocktails. On Thursday nights a table quiz is held on the upper floor and gives the bar a fun vibe. Additionally, patrons could play darts or pool on the ground floor of the bar. The music is 90s early 00s style but is re played. The interior is nice and generally open with more intimate settings for couples or groups near the pillars. As a parting thought 50th Street is one of the more landmark bars in Yangon but loses its flare after an hour or two. Due to the dispersed seating arrangements its not the kind of place where you will meet strangers. Although it is a great place for arranging dates meeting with your friends, or otherwise, just a charming place with a lot of character; to grab a beer, eat some tasty some nachos and to listen to one hit wonders after a long week.

Nicely decorated and spacious. The spiral staircase in the center makes the space look much more interesting. The music on the night we stopped by was a bit too loud. Love the high ceiling on the upper floor.
