Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar
Perched atop 100 Mahaseth in Bang Rak, Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar is co-founded by award-winning mixologists Ronnaporn “Neung” Kanivichaporn and Chennarong “Jan” Bhumichitr, merging their talents under a traditional wooden Thai roof illuminated by a neon two‑headed tiger—symbolic of their creative partnership. Dubbed a top-tier global venue (#19 in the World's 50 Best Bars 2023 and #18 in Asia’s list 2024), the bar embraces a “Resourceful Cocktails” philosophy: each drink highlights a single ingredient used in diverse forms—think Cow (beef fat, clarified milk, blue cheese) or Squid (vodka with squid ink & dried squid)—championing zero-waste and imaginative flavor layering. The interior draws from Asian and Moroccan souk aesthetics—low lighting, draped fabrics, chinoiserie upholstery—described as “Thai Rococo with a bit of disco”. Bottles line shelves behind the bar, patrons sit on plush sofas and patterned stools beneath a warmly glowing ceiling. Signature cocktails include playful, layered drinks: Pineapple, Pomelo, Cow and Squid, priced at around THB 390 (~USD 12) each. Recent creations incorporate local rara: bamboo, guava, lotus, worms—each savory or floral twist showcasing Thai terroir while minimizing waste. Food pairing is minimal but thoughtful: nose‑to‑tail snacks from 100 Mahaseth (e.g. grilled pork, duck hearts), with reviewers praising the professional yet warm bartending and recommending early booking due to the cosy size. Open Tue–Sun from 5 p.m., Mahaniyom offers an immersive, inventive cocktail experience ideal for adventurous drinkers seeking sophistication and sustainability in one stylish package.
