YOU KNOW WHERE

Near BTS Sala Daeng, You Know Where is another Silom entrant
for those who are looking for a fun night out in that neck of the
woods. The front looks like a vintage shop, of the kind you can
easily find in China Town, and the entrance is marked by a
subtle neon cocktail glass sign, through which you can see what
looks like a door outlined in red but that’s a decoy – to the left
through a wooden panel is the actual entrance, and through a
curtain you’ll be ushered into a dark and intimate space with
hanging planters serving as chandeliers. Try their fun cocktails,
including a Barbie-themed one, and their Slim’s & sexy, comprised
of watermelon, strawberry, peanut butter mix, gin, and Bianco
vermouth. Instagram: @youknowwherebkk

SUGAR RA Y, YOU’VE JUST BEEN POISONED

While Octo Seafood Bar in Sukhumvit Soi 24 is a haven of good
seafood, a few of the patrons walking through its doors will furtively
head straight to the back, where a hidden door will lead to a bar
tucked into the restaurant itself. Sugar Ray, You’ve Just Been
Poisoned is known among Bangkok’s speakeasy aficionados, but
its clever entrance means that few know exactly where it is. Inside,
the space can seat maybe around 20, with dark, brushed-concrete
walls, and seating all facing a backlit bar, one of the only sources of
illumination in the room aside from subtle recessed lighting that
gives the room a glow. Here, the cocktails are innovative, with a
range of whiskies to please any connoisseur, and new concoctions
according to the bartenders’ whims. You can also customise your
own cocktail, depending on your preferences! Instagram: @

THE SPEAKEASY ROOF T OP B AR

On the 24 and 25 floor of the Hotel Muse Bangkok – MGallery
th
th
Collection, in the sophisticated Langsuan district, The Speakeasy
Rooftop Bar has been lighting up people’s Instagram feeds since
it opened not too long ago. Found behind a panel that features a
lifesize painting of a 1920s-era couple replete with bobbed hair and
fedora, you’re welcomed with stunning views of the cityscape and
domed structures suggestive of European architecture. With both
indoor and outdoor seating areas, I would suggest drinking and
dining al fresco to take advantage of the picture-perfect ‘sky garden.’
The bar’s impressive lists of cocktails includes classic libations, as
well as their new Speakeasy Sips collection, including options
such as The girl with the curls, named after the fictional Mary
Pickford, and comprised of Bulleit Bourbon, maraschino liqueur,
chamomile tea, pineapple honey shrub, homemade grenadine,
and a sprinkling of lemon. Instagram: @musebkk
