Vesper

Modern classic

A design-forward cocktail bar that helped put Bangkok on the global drinking map.

Vesper was among the first Bangkok bars to earn a place on Asia's 50 Best, and it has only sharpened since. The front room is a sleek lounge of marble and brass; the back is the working bar where the team builds precise, modern interpretations of the classics. The gin-forward Vesper martini is the obvious order, but the seasonal menu is where the real imagination lives. Reservations recommended after 21:00.
