10 best hidden bars in Bangkok, Thailand

1. Rabbit Hole

One of Thonglor’s best-kept secrets, Rabbit Hole is a gem of a bar to hit up if you’re exploring this hipster district. Push open the unmarked wooden door and you’ll find yourself transported to a stunning three-story bar, with glossy marble countertops and floor-to-ceiling metal shelving.

The best seats are by the bar, where you can watch two of Bangkok’s top bartenders whip up sensational drinks. Get the Summer Book if you’re in the mood for something tropical and refreshing, or the magical-looking Aviation for something 'gram-worthy.

2. The Key Room No. 72

Located in the hipster boutique The Josh Hotel is The Key Room No.72, a quirky retro bar with vintage vibes. Here you are invited to try cocktail creations which are inspired by Mr.Josh's (Mr.Josh is sort of the hotel's fictional 'owner') travels around the world, which include intriguingly-named drinks such as Fly Me to the Saturn, Something on Cloud9 and Anderson Odyssey.

With its other-worldly Avatar-esque tree, the Tichuca Rooftop Bar is a rooftop bar that's definitely IG-worthy. This jungle-themed rooftop bar promises impressive views whether you're here unwinding with a drink before sunset or hanging with friends and chilling out after dark.

The jungle-theme also follows into their cocktail menu, with fruity, tropical beverages, masterfully crafted by their bartenders with flavours like coconut, pineapple, orange and cherry.

The rustic farmhouse-style HARVEST restaurant takes on another guise, with the addition of a craft spirits bar hidden within its space. Aptly named The Woodshed, this bar is decked out in wood and hanging exposed lamps, with a tightly-curated stock of crafts spirits and liquors that start in their cocktails.

Their signature flower-garnished Fleur combines two gins – Rock Rose winter gin and Pimm’s No. 1 – with green chartreuse, fruit shrub and lemon juice for a drink that seems to merge all the seasons. On the flipside, The Smoke Lingers features Laphroaig 10-Year-Old single malt, tequila, espresso and burnt walnut for a robust wake-up call.

Address: 24 1 Soi Sukhumvit 31, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Khet Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110, Thailand

Opened by Bacchus Global – a well-known importer that supplies the Thailand bar scene with premium Japanese alcohol – Salon Du Japonisant is the place to be for a journey into the world of Japanese spirits.

Hidden by an unmarked door at the corner of Soi 39, this showroom is designed to create a welcoming, almost homely ambience – almost as if you stepped into an upscale pseudo-retro Japanese house.

Start your night judiciously from a wide selection of Suntory, sake and other Japanese liquors, before moving on to trying these premium spirits as cocktails. A Japanese Mojito with shochu and lime makes for a good start, or pick the heavier Suntory Chita Old-Fashioned, with a twist of green tea bitters and kuromitsu to sweeten.

Havana takes the speakeasy experience to a whole new level. Set in a colourful mural-painted concrete wall, its entrance is completely unmarked, with just a graffiti-ed phone booth in sight. Step in, call up Havana for the day’s passcode and dial it in to unlock the false door hidden at the back of the booth.

With tiled floors, mismatched vintage furniture and tall bar stools, Havana transports you to 1940s pre-revolution Cuba. Party it up with a zesty kaffir lime-spiked Cuba Libre for that classic Bacardi-and-coke combo, and order up a plate of empanadas or a Cuban sandwich for bar snacks. Don’t miss the Friday and Saturday nights at Havana, when the live Cuban jazz band plays!

Address: Sukhumvit Soi 11, 41/3 Soi Sukhumvit 11, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Opening Hours: Daily, 6pm – 12am
Nearest Station: Nana BTS Station

Hidden inside one of the little alleyways in Sukhumvit, Q&A Bar is marked only by a small signage located high above the narrow doorway. Having clinched a spot on Asia’s 50 Best Bars in 2017, this speakeasy is done up in the style of a Jazz Age railway carriage car.

The main pull of Q&A is its Cocktail Journey experience, featuring 52 different classic cocktails from all corners of the world. If you decide to embark on this journey, you’ll get a passport book with a deck of 52 collectible cards – along with four drinks right off the bat. If you’re seeking something else, the bartender will also be more than happy to make you a bespoke drink. Note: Q&A has seats which are available only by advanced booking. Do take note that walk-ins are not allowed.

Nestled on the 24th and 25th floor of Hotel Muse Bangkok, The Speakeasy Rooftop Bar is not to be missed if you love cocktails and sparkling city views. Set against a backdrop of Bangkok's skyline, the bar offers panoramic views from its al fresco sky garden as well as delectable cuisines and well-crafted concoctions, including some innovative ones that cannot be found elsewhere in the city. Do note though that drinks here are priced above average, though we'd say the views make up for the hike-up. ✨

10. Sugar Ray, You've Just Been Poisoned

Tucked within the Octo Seafood Bar restaurant complex, Sugar Ray is a famed secret bar that went through a sleek makeover few years back.
