Harry's Bar (Junction Square)

Harry's Bar is a bar located within the Junction Square complex on Kyuntaw Road in Kamaryut Township, Yangon, Myanmar. Junction Square is a large shopping and entertainment complex in the western part of the city, and the bar serves the residents of Kamayut and the surrounding districts as well as shoppers and office workers who stop after the complex closes its stores. The crowd is mostly local professionals, university-age drinkers and a few expatriates, generally in their twenties to forties, and the atmosphere is relaxed and easygoing rather than formal. Dress is casual, with shorts and sandals acceptable although most guests wear neat everyday clothes. Music is typically background pop and international hits played at a level that allows conversation. The drinks programme is built around cocktails, with beer, wine and spirits alongside, and a bar-food menu of snacks, fried dishes and shareable plates intended to go with the drinks. Prices are in the mid-range for Yangon and are paid in kyat, with card payment often accepted in a mall setting. Opening hours are typically evenings every day, with weekends the busiest period; because the bar sits inside a complex whose own hours may change, visitors should verify closing times locally. There is no cover charge. Reservations are not normally needed for small groups, though calling ahead for a table on Friday or Saturday is sensible. Bottle service is not a defining feature of the venue. The location is convenient for visitors staying on the western side of the city or near Pyay Road, and parking and taxi pickup are straightforward at the complex. It is a practical option for an unhurried evening drink without the crowds of the downtown and Chinatown areas.
