Bar/Restaurant entertainment in Bangkok

  1. A

    Black Swan

    Liable to bring a tear to the eye of a homesick Brit, the combination of supping mates, dining families and bad decor make the Black Swan the most authentic of Bangkok’s numerous English pubs. Come on Friday when you can enjoy your draught bitter with fresh fish flown directly from Scotland.

    WTF Café and Gallery

    No, not that WTF; Wonderful Thai Friendship is a funky and friendly neighbourhood bar that also has two floors of gallery space. Stop by for fun drinks and a bar-snack menu whose influences range from Macau to Spain, or to check out the latest contemporary-art exhibition.

    HOBS (House of Beers)

    Arguably the word’s best brews, Belgian beers have been fleetingly available around Bangkok for a while now, but have found a permanent home at this new pub. Be sure to accompany your beer with a bowl of crispy frites, served here Belgian-style with mayonnaise.

    Lollipop

    Hidden in a residential lane in a quiet corner of old Bangkok, this wooden Thai house refurbished in pastel colours has a small but dedicated following. The Thai indie bands that play here have a reputation for being as intense as the drinks are strong.

    Vino di Zanotti

    A branch of the nearby Italian institution of the same name, Vino keeps it casual with a wine cellar-like atmosphere, a huge wine list and lots of delicious nibbles. A jazz quartet keeps diners entertained until midnight.

    Happy Monday

    This vaguely hidden pub follows the tried and true Ekkamai/Thong Lor formula of retro furniture, a brief menu and some truly bizarre house drinks. The diverse soundtrack, spun by local and visiting DJs, sets it apart.
