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.
Whether you’re ordering from the extensive menu or getting a bespoke cocktail, you’ll find something to your palate.
Address: 125 Thong Lo Rd, klongtonnuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand

2. The Key Room No. 72
Located in the hipster boutique 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 (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.
Address: 19/2 Ari 4 Fang Nua Alley, Khwaeng Samsen Nai, Phaya Thai, Bangkok 10400, Thailand
Opening Hours: Daily, 6pm to 1am
Nearest Station: Ari BTS Station
3. Tichuca Rooftop Bar
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 bar's 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.
Address: T-One Building 8, 46th Floor, ซอย เหมวงศ์, Phra Khanong, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Opening Hours: Daily, 5pm to 12am
Nearest Station: Thong Lor BTS Station
4. The WoodShed
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.
The 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.
Catch the live jazz band that plays on Wednesdays to Saturdays, to make a lively end to your night.
Address: 24, 1 Soi Sukhumvit 31, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Opening Hours: Daily (Closed on Sundays), 5.30pm – 12am
Nearest Station: Phrom Phong BTS Station
5. Salon Du Japonisant
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.
Address: 36/5 Soi Sukhumvit 39 Sukhumvit Rd., Klongton Nua, Wattana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Opening Hours: Daily (Closed on Mondays), 6pm – 1am
Nearest Station: Phrom Phong BTS Station
6. ABar
High up on the 38th floor of Bangkok’s Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park hotel, ABar is the place to head to for a view of Bangkok’s stunning skyline. With cushioned lounge seats, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a playlist of smooth jazz music, ABar is just the place for a classy night out.
Pick your poison from their extensive menu of handcrafted cocktails, from handcrafted signatures like Asian Wind (Beefeater gin, sake, homemade yuzu mango cordial and fresh lime juice) to Packaged with Love (Rosemary infused Beefeater gin, fresh passionfruit, fresh lime juice, peach bitters and egg white).
Address: 199 Soi Sukhumvit 22, Klongton, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Opening Hours: Daily, 5pm – 1am
Nearest Station: Phrom Phong BTS Station
7. Havana Social
Havana Social takes the speakeasy experience to a whole new level. Set behind a colourful mural-painted concrete wall, its entrance is completely unmarked, with just a phone booth covered in graffiti 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 Monday, Tuesday and Saturday nights at Havana, where various DJs spin Latin beats!
Address: 41, 3 Sukhumvit Rd, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Opening Hours: Daily, 6pm – 2am
Nearest Station: Nana BTS Station
8. Q&A Bar
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 collectable 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.
Q&A has seats which are available only by advanced booking. Do take note that walk-ins are not allowed.
Address: 235/13 Soi Sukhumvit 21, Khlong Toei Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110, Thailand

Nearest Station: Phetchaburi MRT Station
9. The Speakeasy Rooftop Bar
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. ✨
Address: 55/555 Langsuan Road, Lumpini, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330 Thailand, 10330 Bangkok
Opening Hours: Daily, 6pm - 12am
Nearest Station: Chit Lom BTS Station

Known for its creative cocktails and rustic speakeasy vibes, the bar's dimly lit space features ample of seating and a well-curated menu of signature drinks that cater to all kinds of flavour-profile preferences.
If you'd like to sip on something unique with a local twist, order their Born and Raise, a tipple that's a lovely combination of Thai tea-infused gin with pandan syrup, mandarin, and lime!
Address: Octo Seafood Bar, 88/2, 88/9 Soi Sukhumvit Soi 24, Khlong Toei, Bangkok, 10110
Opening Hours: Daily (Closed on Sundays & Mondays), 7pm - 2am
