Winstar

Yangon


Very much a local party scene, Sanchaung St has beer stations and small bars, cafes and restaurants, all a short walk north of People's Park. Winstar is the biggest beer station along the strip. It has an English menu and a relaxed vibe popular with all ages.

It's a great place to watch a football match and work your way through a 10-glass tower of beer (K8500).
