Overall, it’s a theatrical, atmospheric hub for cocktail lovers, music fans, and anyone craving an escapist evening out of the ordinary.

Established in 1953 within the prestigious Mandarin Oriental on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, The Bamboo Bar is Bangkok’s original jazz haven.

Patrons describe it as “cozy yet fancy,” with soft light, plush seating, and quiet sophistication.

One guest exclaimed, “Hands down, the best cocktail bar I've been to in the world! … The man himself… made individual masterpieces… we felt like we won the lottery!” Despite its exclusivity, others caution about the high price—expect to pay Bangkok-evening-drink rates matching global hotspot standards.

Open nightly from around 6:30 PM to 3:00 AM, it’s recommended to plan your visit to avoid disappointment.

Tucked away in a traditional shophouse on Soi Nana, Bangkok’s Teens of Thailand opened in 2015 and quickly became a local favorite—and a gin-lover’s mecca. Stepping through those hefty wooden doors, you enter a retro-chic hideaway where propped concrete walls, old Thai film posters, and the hum of an analog playlist set the tone. With room for just around 15 seated guests (plus standing room), the bar’s intimacy feels deliberate and inviting. The heart of the bar? Gin—lots of it. You'll find a well-curated collection featuring rotating “gin of the week” specials, and house-infused gin concoctions using local ingredients like Thai tea, chrysanthemum, jackfruit, and salted guava. These are elevated into creative gin & tonics, often served Spanish-style in wine goblets, alongside revered staples like Negroni, Aviation, Dry Martini, and Corpse Reviver. Beyond the cocktails, the vibe shines. Trendy locals, expats, and cocktail aficionados intermingle over smooth conversation. Guests praise the bartenders’ expertise and warmth—many say they return just as much for the hospitality as the drinks. Teens of Thailand also helped put Soi Nana on the map, anchoring a wave of hip bars and creative energy that transformed the alley’s reputation from dusty to decidedly cool. Founder Niks Anuman-Rajadhon’s influence extends beyond the bar—he later co-launched Asia Today, helping shape Bangkok’s modern cocktail scene.

Tucked away in a back alley of Sukhumvit Soi 11, Havana Social is a masterclass in immersive theming as a secret bar that springs to life when you dial the right code in a vintage phone booth. Inside, you’re transported to pre‑revolution 1940s Cuba, with dim lighting, shabby chic walls, antique wooden furniture, vintage couches, and ambient Cuban beats that set the mood for nostalgia and fun. The main bar area, warmly lit, centers around a timber counter and high stools enveloped by crumbling plaster and exposed beams—a deliberate design that radiates character and history. A staircase leads to an upper lounge where you can enjoy authentic Cuban cigars and elevated views of this time‑warp setting. The drink menu is rum‑centric, offering classics like daiquiris, mojitos, and Cuba Libres, alongside tiki‑inspired renditions and innovations bridging pre‑ and post‑revolution styles. The bar snacks—think empanadas and Cuban sandwiches—are perfect for sipping and pairing. On certain nights, live salsa bands fire up the crowd, transforming the space into a dance floor; other nights feature DJs spinning Latin rhythms that keep the vibe pulsating until late. Though once a “secret,” Havana Social’s popularity now draws a cosmopolitan crowd—expats, locals, and curious travelers—drawn not just by its mystique, but the impeccable atmosphere and dynamic energy. A note for planners: reservations may require a minimum spend (e.g., around THB 1,500 per person) on busy nights. In short, Havana Social is more than a bar—it’s a theatrical nod to Cuba’s golden nightlife, right in Bangkok, where every sip, beat, and décor detail tells a story of faded glamour and living vibrantly now.

Tucked behind a wall of steel lockers on Thonglor's bustling Sukhumvit Soi 55, Find The Locker Room delivers one of Bangkok's most playful and refined drinking experiences. Enter through a narrow, unmarked passage, and you'll find a dimly lit, two-level speakeasy dedicated to the art of cocktails—with 25 seats upstairs and an intimate 8–12-seat “Remy Bar” downstairs. Launched in 2017 and refreshed in a new location in 2018, the bar is the brainchild of a dream team of Asia’s elite bartenders—including Colin Chia (Singapore), Hidetsugu Ueno (Tokyo), Nick Wu (Taipei), and local legends Ronnaporn “Neung” Kanivichaporn and Chennarong “Jan” Bhumichitr—all guided by head bartender Fahbeer Sopajaree. The cocktail program pivots around its “Past • Present • Future” concept. Every classic—like the Bloody Mary, Pina Colada, Rob Roy, or Sidecar—is reinvented three ways: Past preserves the classic spirit under Ueno’s hand. Present reinterprets with modern tweaks by Wu and Chia. Future ventures into avant-garde territory under Neung’s creative lead. Iconic examples include the mezcal-based Bloodless Maria, which mimics tomato flavor in a clear, miso-rimmed glass; The Harakiri, a tequila twist on the Bloody Mary with tomato, plum liqueur, green tea syrup, and spices. The bar also embraces theatrical flair: Chomp Magazine highlights the “Time Capsule” series—nostalgic menus inspired by pop culture eras. Think bold creations like Iconic (a smoky 90s-styled milk punch crowned with blue apple foam) and Bougie Princess (2000s decadence in a glass). Open daily from 18:00 to late, this hidden gem serves cocktails at an accessible bang-for-your-buck rate (averaging ~$10 USD per drink). It remains true to the speakeasy ethos—not always easy to find, intentionally mystifying, but rich in cocktail craftsmanship and storytelling.

Located above the renowned 100 Mahaseth restaurant in Bangkok's Si Phraya district, Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar is a vibrant addition to the city's dynamic bar scene. Established in 2022 by acclaimed bartenders Ronnaporn 'Neung' Kanivichaporn and Chennarong 'Jan' Bhumichitr, the bar has quickly garnered international recognition, securing the No. 19 spot on The World's 50 Best Bars list in 2023 and No. 18 on Asia's 50 Best Bars in 2024. ​ The bar's name, 'Mahaniyom,' translates to 'very popular' in Thai, reflecting its burgeoning reputation. The interior design is an eclectic fusion of Asian aesthetics and Moroccan souk-inspired elements, featuring colorful decor, a striking neon two-headed tiger mural symbolizing the founders' collaboration, and draped fabrics that create an immersive and cozy atmosphere. ​ Mahaniyom's cocktail menu is centered around the concept of 'Resourceful Cocktails,' where each drink highlights a single ingredient utilized in various forms. For instance, the 'Orange' cocktail incorporates house-made, orange-infused vermouth and distilled orange hydrosol, garnished with chips made from leftover orange peels, exemplifying the bar's commitment to sustainability and creativity. ​ Other notable concoctions include 'Pineapple,' a gin-based cocktail blending vermouth, pineapple tepache, and green pepper cordial, offering a refreshing and tangy profile. The 'Pomelo' cocktail combines rum, lillet rosé, house-made pomelo and jasmine cordial, pomelo juice, rice paddy herbs, and pomelo leaf tea, with a subtle addition of dried chili tincture providing a playful dash of spiciness. Complementing the inventive cocktails is a selection of bar snacks curated by Chef Chalee Kader of 100 Mahaseth, including papaya fritters, marinated clams, pork belly, and stuffed calamari, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Tucked into a corner townhouse on Suan Phlu in Sathorn, Smalls Bar & Live Music feels like stepping into a Paris-meets-Bangkok bohemian dream. Since opening in 2014, it’s carved out a reputation as one of the city’s most intimate jazz-led bars. Three rickety levels ascend through moody rooms with art-adorned walls, French and New York design cues, balconies overlooking alleyways, and rooftop terraces (though some levels are restricted as regulations shift). The atmosphere is unpretentious yet elegant: plush booths, low lighting, exposed brick, vintage posters, small tables for close conversations, and a general sense of discovery. Absinthe is something of a house specialty, served in a classic ritual that draws in those who want something beyond the usual drinks. Cocktails are inventive, strong, and served with flair; the menu also includes French-style snacks, small plates, and occasional “Pho night” events that reflect the personality of its founder(s) and crowd. Live jazz sets happen several times a week (especially midweek through the weekend), creating waves of soulful melody that fill every corner. It’s not a destination for loud dance-floor nights but ideal for those who appreciate music, good drinks, cozy ambience, and a late-night vibe. The crowd mixes expats, locals, creatives, and those just looking for somewhere with character. Smalls isn’t flashy — it doesn’t need to be. Its charm lies in the details: art, music, conversation, and discovering a nook where things feel more personal.

Tucked off Sukhumvit Soi 51, Studio Lam feels like an audio sanctuary for Bangkok’s adventurous souls. Born in August 2014 out of DJ Maft Sai’s ZudRangMa radio project and record label, it evolved into a sonic bar that defies mainstream trends. The setting is deliberately understated: repurposed from an old Japanese restaurant, it offers dim lighting, minimalist décor, and a makeshift dance area. The real centerpiece, though, is a custom tube sound system designed for purity—aural fidelity that elevates every beat, from molam and luk thung (Thai folk and rap-like rural genres) to African, Latin swing, jazz, funk, and soul. At Studio Lam, the music doesn’t compete—it inspires. Expect rotating live performances and DJ sets that draw from every corner of the global music spectrum. Whether you're vibing to Isan’s thrumming rhythms or discovering Afro-funk remixes, the soundscape is curated with bold flair. Drinks lean local and expressive. Ya Dong—an herbal Thai spirit amalgamated with various fruits and herbs—gets playful. Here you’ll find Ya Dong cocktails reimagined, alongside a modest selection of beers and soft drinks. Open Tuesday through Sunday from evening into late night, Studio Lam’s hours and music schedule encourage exploration after dark. Regulars and first-timers congregate for the immersive vibes and the sense of musical discovery that pulses in every corner. This isn’t just a bar; it’s a community hub where wild playlists sound like home, the locals are curious and creative, and every visit promises fresh rhythms and handcrafted sip experiences.

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.

Behind a discreet entrance on Soi Sukhumvit 26 lies Bar Us, Bangkok’s apothecary-lab cocktail lounge that treats mixology like haute cuisine. Designed by its owner-founders (both interior designers), the space leans sleek and noir: dark walls, theatrical spotlights, shelves lined with dried botanicals, and bartenders in crisp white lab coats. Bar Us operates on a “liquid cuisine” concept: the cocktail menu is structured in courses — Starters, Mains, and Afters (plus an “All Night” section). Starters are light and refreshing; mains get bolder and savory; afters are aromatic or dessert-like. The ingredients list is adventurous: distillations of herbs, fermented and brined elements, local produce, house infusions, and even flavors inspired by Thai cuisine (e.g. pad Thai, fish soup motifs). The bar is relatively small and intimate. Seating is concentrated at the bar counter — patrons often sit facing the mixologists — encouraging both interaction and spectacle. Lighting is dramatic and focused: each seat might get its own spotlight, making every drink moment feel intentional. Bar Us is recognized internationally: it’s listed in Asia’s 50 Best Bars and the World’s 50 Best Bars rankings. Its style and reputation have made it a destination for cocktail enthusiasts in Bangkok and visitors seeking something sophisticated and inventive. They accept walk-in customers, but reservation slots are available (especially early evening). Policy notes that booking windows are from 6 PM to 9 PM (Sun–Thu) and 6 PM to 8 PM (Fri–Sat), after which seating is via walk-in only.

Hide away in Thonglor, behind an unassuming entrance near BTS Thong Lo, and you’ll discover Lost in Thaislation—a cocktail bar that imagines what it means to “translate solid to liquid.” Led by female mixologist Fah-beer Suchada Sophajaree, the concept is playful but precise: each drink draws inspiration from beloved Thai dishes and street food, reinterpreting them as cocktails with surprising twists. Inside, the space is deliberately sleek and minimal. It’s intimate but not cramped: low lighting, clean lines, subtle design details that let the drinks take center-stage. You might find yourself ordering something like “Mango Sticky Rice” turned into cocktail form, or a tipple infused with flavours like miso-ginger or chicken rice, fizzed up or balanced with herbs. The bartenders enjoy guiding you through the stories behind the drinks: what food inspired them, how local ingredients are used, etc. The atmosphere is best in evening hours: after dark the bar comes alive, but not with loud music or chaos. It’s more about immersion—savouring flavour, chatting, perhaps a bit of discovery. The crowd seems mixed: cocktail lovers, locals looking for something different, people who enjoy food + drink mashups, and those who like hidden gems. If you want something more adventurous than your classic cocktail, but still enjoyable without being gimmicky, this is a spot to explore. Expect queues or limited seating since it’s not huge. Reservations or arriving early might help.

Founded by the team behind Teens of Thailand, Asia Today continues its predecessor’s mission of spotlighting native Thai ingredients through inventive cocktails. Situated in a narrow laneway opposite Teens of Thailand, this intimate space keeps it lively with bold décor—including a suspended shark above the bar—and a neon sign cheekily declaring, “This bar is better than Teens of Thailand.” Bartenders, sourced with Asia's artisanal curiosity, regularly travel to northern Thailand to forage rare ingredients—like wild honeys, indigenous herbs (bai hor wor, bai hoo seur), and native leaves (such as Tiger’s Ear). These flavors influence everything from honey-forward drinks in beeswax mugs to savory martini twists. Signature cocktails include: Wild Honey Daiquiri (wild honey from Khao Yai National Park) Pickled Elephant Garlic Martini (vodka, rhum agricole, dry vermouth with elephant garlic brine) Tiger Ear (rum, dry vermouth, cucumber bitters, Howor syrup, and Tiger’s Ear leaf) Reviews praise the bar's rich inventiveness and immersive atmosphere. One writes each sip is a “delightful dance of local wild honey and artisanal spirits,” served in whimsical vessels like beeswax cups. Another highlights its “creative cocktails made with wild Thai herbs and honeys”—a testament to both quality and local flavor.

On the 2nd floor of SODALITY, tucked into Soi Thonglor 13, sits Dry Wave Cocktail Studio — a refined, artful bar where every sip tells a story of duality. Founded by Supawit “Palm” Muttarattana, the venue opened in early 2024 and quickly earned recognition (including the Campari One To Watch Award 2024) for its bold concept and execution. The core concept is “Super Classics”: take two iconic cocktails from different eras, weave their essences together, and present a new creation that honors both. Design is intentionally organic. The walls carry wave motifs; sand-toned textures and dry materials reference the “dry wave” idea. The bar area is marble, fluid in shape, encouraging engagement. An alfresco terrace space with a tree bleeds natural elements into the lounge. The menu is renewed in editions (Vol. 2 is their latest) with around a dozen cocktails, each crafted with care. They blend spirits, infusions, botanical elements, smoke, and texture to layer effects across aroma, flavor, and mouthfeel. Their philosophy is that a drink should ripple, not hit all at once. In just over a year, Dry Wave vaulted into acclaim: Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025 ranks it #5 and awarded it the Disaronno Highest New Entry Award. It also earned Thailand’s Best Bar in local awards, and accolades like Best Bartender / Best Bar Team. The music, lighting, and pacing are calibrated to match the fluid ethos — not crowded or loud, but energetic in waves. The environment is intimate but alive, ideal for cocktail purists and curious drinkers alike.

Once a nightlife fixture in Ekkamai, Sugar Ray: You’ve Just Been Poisoned has resurfaced with renewed elegance in Sukhumvit Soi 24 inside the Octo Seafood Bar complex. The entrance itself is playful and clandestine—find the medieval Comic-Con-style host and you’re in. Inside, the vibe shifts from rustic to sleek minimalism: black marble counters, leather seating, dim lighting, and ample bar stools setting the stage for serious cocktail artistry. Run by head mixologist Vipop Jinaphan (Tor) and his team, the bar boasts signature drinks that blend Asian flavors with classic forms. Try the Elixir #1, featuring ginseng-infused gin, bianco vermouth, absinthe, Cointreau, and lemon; the Born & Raise, a nostalgic Thai tea gin cocktail with pandan, mandarin, and lime; or the daring East Coast Boulevard—a Boulevardier twist brewed with Bengal spiced tea, Campari, rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. Despite its glossy facelift, Sugar Ray retains its laid-back charm. It’s a place where bar chatter, cocktail passion, and whiskey appreciation flow freely. Music quietly pulses in the background, enhancing without overpowering.

Tucked quietly into the lanes not far from the iconic backpacker hub of Khao San Road, the YABAR Secret Bar & Rooftop offers a refreshingly playful twist on Bangkok nightlife. The address — 28, 10 Trok Bowonrangsi, Khwaeng Chana Songkhram, Khet Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200 — already hints at the hidden-gem nature of the spot. From the moment you locate the “secret door” you sense this isn’t a conventional bar. Inside, neon lighting, whimsical decor and unexpected touches (a slide between floors, jumbo Jenga blocks, quirky signage) turn the night out into a mild adventure. The drinks continue the theme: inventive presentations, vibrant colours, playful garnish and sometimes surprises like floating rubber ducks in bathtub-style glasses. One guest review says: “The drink presentation was very creative and unique … We came to this bar twice on our short trip.” The cocktail menu on one listing shows items around THB 290-460 (≈ USD 8-13) for signature drinks such as Swag Duck in the Bath and East Asia. The rooftop section gives you some skyline perspective of the historic Phra Nakhon area — not the ultra-high rooftop of skyscraper bars, but charming, intimate and informal. Combined with fun games, group-friendly seating and even karaoke/microphone set-ups some nights, it’s well suited for a lively evening rather than ultra-serious cocktail sophistication. Practical tips: arrive after 18:30 (opening time) and expect a relaxed but lively crowd. The dress code is casual and friendly — smart casual is sufficient, you won’t need tuxedos. It’s especially well-suited for groups of friends looking to mix creative cocktails with fun ambience. Because it’s described as “secret” you may need to look closely for the entrance.

Hidden behind a nondescript phone booth near Sukhumvit Soi 11, Havana Social in Bangkok is the kind of bar that thrives on secrecy and ambience. Once you dial the code and push through the booth, you’re transported to the glittering yet gritty world of 1940s-50s Havana: exposed brick, antique furniture, rusting plaster, vintage posters and a rum-heavy menu that would make any Caribbean connoisseur grin. The mood is set from the moment you walk in — expect low-lit corners, Cuban cigars being passed, live Latin jazz or salsa bands, and a dance floor that picks up pace as the night deepens. The cocktails lean rum-first: daiquiris, Cuba Libres, mojitos, and more adventurous infusions drawn from the bar’s massive rum collection. Havana Social’s interior is more than décor — it’s immersive theatre. From the entrance phone booth to the upstairs cigar lounge, every detail plays into the “back-street Havana” fantasy. The crowd tends to be eclectic: locals in the know, well-travelled expats, and visitors hunting for an unusual bar experience rather than a standard high-rise rooftop. Practicalities: The dress code is smart-casual — no sandals, flip-flops or casual tank tops for gentlemen. The bar opens daily from 6 PM to 2 AM. For best effect, show up after the band kicks in and let the rum, the rhythm and the atmosphere carry you through the night. In summary: If you’re looking for a bar that offers more than just drinks — one with character, theme, and transportive design — Havana Social ticks all the boxes. Whether you linger over a cigar and rum upstairs or dive into salsa beats downstairs, it’s a memorable stop in Bangkok’s nightlife scene.

As you enter, you're greeted by subdued lighting, polished marble surfaces, minimalist furnishings and subtle artwork — the space itself feels like part gallery, part hidden lounge. A discreet door, followed by a short walk past the art-space, leads you to the bar. Once inside, the mood is intimate, calm and refined. The menu focuses on creative, curated cocktails, fine wines and artisan beers. One signature drink listed is the “Lightning Star” made with Jim Beam Bourbon, Amaretto, Cointreau, Earl Grey tea and rose syrup. The bar emphasises quality, attention to detail and a slower-paced night out rather than the rush of a high-volume club. Indeed a review notes: “Open-air speakeasy bar in an Art Gallery … intimate, chill vibe.” What further sets Vol de Nuit apart is its hidden garden (or garden-bar section) — at the back of the lounge there’s a green courtyard-style space allowing a breath of fresh air amid the urban setting. This spot is ideal for a special evening: whether you’re looking for a quiet drink with a friend, a date-night with ambiance, or a cocktail-lover’s stop in Bangkok. The dress code is smart-casual; arriving early gives you better seat selection. Pricing is on the higher side for Bangkok bar scene — you’re paying for craft, design and exclusivity. In short: Vol de Nuit – The Hidden Bar is a refined speakeasy gem where architecture, art and mixology converge. A memorable night-out choice for those who seek subtle sophistication.

Nestled down a discreet alley in the heart of Bangkok’s Chinatown neighbourhood, TEP BAR is far more than just another trendy night-spot—it’s an immersive cultural cocktail experience. Housed in a beautifully restored two-storey shophouse dating from the King Rama V era, the venue blends historical décor (gold-leaf accents, period wooden walls) with the polished vibe of a craft cocktail bar. As you take in the ambient lighting and elegant Thai-inspired interior, the soundtrack sets the tone: live bands playing traditional Thai instruments such as the ranat ek (xylophone), khim and saw u are part of the nightly rhythm, creating a unique ambience seldom found in the bar scene. Drinks at TEP BAR are a highlight. The bartenders lean heavily into Thai flavours and spirits—think herbal liqueurs, rice-based spirits, local rum, inventive infusions built around local herbs, flowers, and rice wine. For example, you’ll find cocktails themed around the classical elements (earth, air, fire, water) using Thai spirits like Mekhong Rum or Ya Dong. The food menu is equally thoughtful, offering Thai snacks and dishes with elevated presentation—matching the sophistication of the drinks. The setting is intimate yet lively. Downstairs positions you close to the live band; upstairs offers more relaxed lounge-style seating with triangular pillow cushions and a comfortable vibe for conversation. Because of its uniqueness, TEP BAR draws both locals who appreciate Thai cultural authenticity and visitors eager for something beyond standard bar fare. It’s a great choice for a memorable evening where you want to combine craft cocktails, live music and local flavour. Because this is more of a destination than a casual stop, it’s wise to arrive early or reserve ahead—weekends tend to fill quickly. Also, the price point is higher than typical street bars, reflecting the calibre of drink-craft and performances on offer. In sum: if you’re after a bar that offers real atmosphere, cultural resonance and cocktail creativity, TEP BAR delivers.

Tucked away on Sukhumvit 55 (Thong Lor), Rabbit Hole offers a stylish, secretive entrance that quickly gives way to a three-level cocktail experience. The décor blends industrial chic (exposed brick, steel staircases) with touches of luxury (marble bar tops, brass accents) for a vibe that’s cool yet intimate. From the moment you push through the plain timber door—with minimal signage—you discover why this bar has featured in Asia’s 50 Best Bars. Upstairs, mezzanine lounges and a private third-floor hideout invite relaxed conversation, while downstairs the bar counter hums with energy. The cocktail program here is anything but conventional.

Drinks are beautifully presented; for example, a white-truffle-infused martini or a gin-long-drink topped with smoked citrus. Service is professional, the lighting intentionally low, and the music curated—on Fridays and Saturdays the DJ brings the higher energy, while other nights lean lounge-bar. Rabbit Hole is perfect for a high-end night out: whether you’re a cocktail aficionado, someone looking for a chic date night, or a group wanting something stylish and somewhat hidden away from the mainstream bar crowd. The upscale price point means it’s less casual dive and more destination experience.

Nestled on the historic Maha Rat Road in Bangkok’s Phra Nakhon district, Nuss Bar occupies a refined corner of the shophouse housing the celebrated restaurant Nusara. From the moment you enter, the décor makes an impression: rich crimson walls, plush velvet seating, gold accents and large windows framing the grandeur of Wat Pho.

Expect standout options like a “Palm Daiquiri” made with fresh palm sugar, and “Cashew Sidecar” using cashew juice and amaro for layered flavour.

The service is polished, the bartenders attentive, and the setting especially notable for the view of Wat Pho across the street. Pricing is at the higher end for the area (cocktails from around THB 390–440) and the dress code leans smart-casual.

Tucked into the sky-high 56 th floor of the Waldorf Astoria Bangkok on Ratchadamri Road, The Loft & Champagne Bar offers a decadent blend of historic cocktail craft, prime city views and refined atmosphere. The interior channels the spirit of the original New York Waldorf: art-nouveau chandeliers, a sweeping spiral staircase, elegant marble and polished metal surfaces, and a long horseshoe bar surrounded by windows looking across Bangkok’s skyline. Cocktails here reflect serious heritage: the menu draws directly from the “Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book” (1935) and gives modern flair to vintage recipes. For example, you’ll find the Waldorf Claret Cup, Florodora, or Whiskey Smash reinterpreted with Thai ingredients like Thai basil, local rums and tropical syrups. Beyond the drinks, the vantage matters — from the bar you’ll see the sunset over Bangkok’s central business district and luminous towers assemble as night falls.

Tucked away in Soi Sukhumvit 39 in Bangkok, Salon du Japonisant is a cocktail bar unlike many others in the city. Originally the showroom for premium Japanese-spirit importer Bacchus Global, it has evolved into a sophisticated yet approachable space where craft mixing meets Japanese aesthetic and hospitality. The moment you step through the unmarked entry, you’ll encounter low lighting, warm wood furnishings, cushioned wicker armchairs instead of bar-stools, and shelves full of Japanese whisky and sake labels re-imagined as décor. The bartenders, led by expert mixologists trained in fine-drinking culture, will ask your preferences and craft a drink for you. They make use of Japanese spirits—whisky, gin, sake, shōchū—and house-made infusions to deliver cocktails that feel bespoke and thoughtful. Highlights include the “floating technique” for whisky—where water is gently layered so the single-malt remains undiluted, letting you savour its full character. Drinks like a Japanese Mojito (with shōchū infused with mint and Japanese brown sugar), or a refined G&T using Ki No Bi Kyoto Dry Gin with matcha and yuzu, demonstrate the depth of inventiveness. While the vibe is crafted, the setting remains intimate and relaxed. It’s ideal for a two-person date, a quiet evening with friends who appreciate fine spirits, or any occasion where you want to elevate your cocktail exploration. Given the limited seats and tailored service, reservations are strongly recommended. Elevating the experience further: the bar houses rare Japanese whiskies and premium wines (some available by the glass through a bottle-tapping system), and the team is happy to recommend pairings and explain the spirits. In short: if you’re looking for more than a standard drink out—something thoughtful, expertly made, steeped in Japanese craft and elegance—Salon du Japonisant delivers.

Tucked away at 469 Phra Sumen Road, in the heart of Bangkok’s historic district, Ku Bar is the kind of place you’ll stumble on more than seek out—and thank yourself for discovering. The venue occupies the third floor of a former printing-house building, with the original architecture still visible: concrete walls, iron-grated windows, a marble-topped bar and a quiet, intimate ambience. The entrance is discreet—a stairwell behind an unmarked door—and once you’re there, the mood shifts to soft lighting, gentle music and serious mixing. The cocktail programme is creative and local-ingredient driven. Past menus have featured drinks built around things like curry leaf, Thai basil, grilled pandan, or Vietnamese coriander—integrated with high-end spirits and refined technique. Wine is also given thoughtful attention, with a selection of natural and low-intervention wines alongside the cocktails. The size of the bar is modest, with seating only (no standing bar crowd), conveying a sense of calm rather than chaos. Reviewers note the welcome absence of loud music or rowdy scenes; instead it’s suited for conversation, contemplation and tasting. Because the bar emphasises craftsmanship over escapism, the pricing is at a higher tier for Bangkok cocktail bars. According to one source the “average price per cocktail: $12”. The dress code is smart-casual; arrive by 19 : 00 or soon after if you want a good seat.

With broad panoramic views over the city, the venue brings together craft-beer culture, rooftop glamour and a relaxed yet energetic atmosphere.

Practical tips: dress smart casual (no flip-flops or singlets) and if you’re attending on a busy evening it’s wise to arrive early or reserve a table (some deposit may be required).

In summary: Brewski Rooftop Bar is perfect for beer lovers who don’t want to compromise on view, for rooftop enthusiasts who appreciate craft over cliché, and for anyone looking for a memorable night out in Bangkok’s heart.

Originally opened in April 2014, Vesper has built a reputation for sophisticated drinks, refined décor, and an atmosphere that blends a European cocktail salon feel with a Bangkok edge.
