Craft Sukhumvit 23

Open-air taproom, benches

Rows of taps, long benches and an open front on the corner of Soi 23 — Bangkok's easiest beer stop.

Craft does the simple thing well: a big wall of taps rotating through Thai and imported beer, chalkboard lists, communal benches and an open frontage that pulls in half of Asoke on the way home. Prices are fair by Bangkok craft standards and the crowd is a mix of neighbourhood regulars, expats and people who came for one and stayed for five.
