Best Bars in Bangkok is an independent guide to the city's best drinking spots — from 60th-floor skyline cathedrals to neon-drenched alleyway haunts across Sukhumvit, Thong Lo, Sathorn, and Chinatown.
We walk the sois, we ride the BTS, and we sit at the bar. Every venue listed here has been visited by someone on our team. We don't take payment for placement, and we don't list a bar we haven't personally ordered a drink at. The guide exists because the Bangkok bar scene moves fast — places open, places close, places change — and we wanted one honest, organized map of what's worth your evening.
The guide is organized by neighborhood so you can plan a night out on foot or by BTS, hopping from a rooftop down to a speakeasy without crossing town. Each bar gets a short bio, hours, address, and a signature drink worth ordering. Click any photo to pull up the bio and directions.
We update the guide regularly — adding new openings, removing places that have closed, and refreshing photos as bars change. If you spot something out of date, or you run a bar we should know about, get in touch.
