The World’s 50 Best Bars – No. 19 to be found in Bangkok: Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar (7. January 2023)
The Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar is among The World’s 50 Best Bars, and I was curious to experience what it has to offer. And frankly, it is not in a place you’d just walk in since it’s located on the second floor of a restaurant (which is rated quite well as well), but it is worth […]
A truly disappointing ‘rooftop’ bar experience: Rainforest Rooftop Bar (6. January 2024)
The search for a rooftop bar continued – and failed. The Rainforest rooftop bar belongs in the category of ‘false advertising’. I mean, frankly, the place doesn’t have anything to do with a rainforest (besides like two kind of small trees being there) and it is on the 7th floor, so one can barely call […]
A place to see the sunset in Bangkok – and to have a look at the Eye of Sauron: Brewski Rooftop Bar @ Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok (5. January 2024)
Finding a place, which is kind of decent, in terms of atmosphere and view, plus offers good drinks, is actually not as easy and straightforward as you might think, so it took a while to find the Brewski Rooftop Bar on top of the Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok, but if you manage to find that […]
When the online review is much better than reality: Hair of the Dog Phrom Phong (5. January 2024)
Sometimes a place is super well rated on Google, but then, when you end up there, you wonder why. I mean, sure, they have about 120 different beers, but given that they have only one local brand, is a bit disappointing really. In any case, as nice as the beer selection is, as disappointing is […]
A hidden gem of peace and quiet in a buzzing city: The Bar @ The House on Sathorn @ W Bangkok (5. January 2024)
Despite having stayed at the W Bangkok before, I didn’t have a chance to try the options at The House on Sathorn, so it was time to do so. The Bar, which is located in The House on Sathron is actually a super lovely place in the midst of a busy city. The “Bael Gimlet […]
It’s the small details in which you realise that the hotel had just opened: Lobby Lounge @ Courtyard Siem Reap Resort (4. January 2024)
As a final act of the day, it was time to enjoy a “Bloody Mary” (USD 7.00) in the Lobby Lounge in the Courtyard Siem Reap Resort – and that is when you realise that the hotel had only just opened a few days ago. It seems nobody had ordered a Bloody Mary before, since […]
Not necessarily a place to return to for drinks: Silk Garden Bar & Restaurant (4. January 2024)
On the quest for the best cocktail, we ended up in places, we hadn’t expected, like the Silk Garden Bar & Restaurant. Again, heads-up, you need to pay by cash, and the change is given in KKP instead of USD, so, you might want to take that into account when going here (even if it […]
A great signature cocktail in a busy side street: Harry‘s Cocktail Bar (4. January 2023)
Next in line was Harry’s Cocktail Bar a few blocks down the road – and while the place only looked limitedly like a cocktail bar, the selection was slightly bigger than in the previous place. And the “Harry’s Sling (gin, dom, cranberry, lime, cherry brandy, passion)” (USD 5.75), apparently, their signature cocktail, was quite enjoyable. […]
