About
High above the rush of Bangkok’s Chinatown, this is the kind of bar people seek out for both the room and the glass. Set across the upper floors of a historic shophouse above Potong, it pairs a sense of old Yaowarat with a polished, intimate atmosphere that feels special without becoming stiff. Cocktails are the main draw, with a serious approach to flavor and presentation that suits the setting. What makes it worth the visit is the way history, design, and drinking culture come together so naturally. It feels hidden, but never gimmicky.

Gin Mare, Sencha Tea Cordial, Blue Spirulina, L'Ermitage Green, Barbeito Madeira
