Outstanding cocktails in a beautiful heritage house! 🍹🍸
This W Hotel bar is set inside a stunning heritage house and fully deserves its Asia Top 50 bar title. I came here specifically on a recommendation from another bartender, and it did not disappoint.
The menu is thoughtfully designed, with drinks inspired by the different eras of the house’s history, such a creative concept! Their signature cocktails feature clever Thai twists that enhance the flavors without overpowering them. Every single drink I ordered was perfectly balanced and delicious.
A fantastic spot for cocktail lovers. Highly recommended!
What a great place! Located at a beautiful building near W hotel, it offers unique cocktails and really yummy snacks. The staff is so nice and helpful and they made our visit really special. They also bring you spicy pretzels, olives, sake drink and prawn snack. The cocktails are not cheap for Thailand but they are very good. There was a live DJ playing nice music.
We also tried some of the bar snacks which were delicious, especially the Italian spring rolls.
Great to visit with friends or a romantic date.
We had a great evening!

This bar occupies the front part of historic buildings at heart of Sathorn. The team creates drink menus representing 4 eras of the buildings.
Bartender Golf and Film provided calm and friendly hospitality. We sat at the bar chatting with the bartenders. They surely know about local craft spirits and are super passionate about cocktail craftsmanship.
We tried 5 drinks from 2 different eras from the menu book. The team splendidly twisted classic cocktail recipes with local ingredients. All drinks were well made, very balanced and structured, giving good portrays of local charm and hint about sentimental essence from the history around the buildings.
According to the bartenders, they will launch new drink menus soon, so be hurry to catch up with current offerings. Apart from that, they also host seasonal food pairing events with guest chefs as well.
Highly recommended
