A nice place to arrive and have a view of the city skyline: Wet Deck @ W Bangkok (16. December 2023)
When you arrive to the W Bangkok, then it is definitely the best idea to go to the Wet Deck and chill there (and enjoy your welcome drink). The “Juniper Blossom (Beefeater Gin, Lychee, Elderflower, Mint, Fresh Lime)” (usually 380 THB) is quite nice, but it felt a bit like the same as any other […]
Lovely drinks, friendly service, and nice setting: OUIBAR + KTCHN @ Radisson RED (1. December 2023)
If you want to take a quick break before or after visiting the museum of African arts, then the OUIBAR + KTCHN at the Radisson RED (yes, red, not blu), is definitely a good place to do so. They offer decent drinks like the “Local is Lekker (the skinny-dipper with all the curves)” (180 ZAR), […]
A speakeasy, which is easily found with great drinks: The Mayor of Scaredy Cat Town @ The Breakfast Club (11. November 2023)
The thing I truly dislike about speak easys today is the fact that you really have to book in advance, and it’s very public. I mean, back in 2016, when I visited my first speak easy, it was really a well hidden place, where you would not get in if you didn’t know. Nowadays, you […]
When the crew celebrates themselves too much and ignores the customer: Gin Lovers Bar (4. November 2023)
The Gin Lovers Bar is an experience of its own. The place is super stylish and appealing, which is aided by the fact that they have three or four different rooms and each is a bit different in terms of interior design. However, the music in the place is unbearably loud, which makes a conversation […]
Lovely rooftop, but much better to visit in summer: Javá Rooftop (4. November 2023)
The Javá Rooftop is a nice place I can definitely recommend you to visit. However, you have to make sure that you go there when it’s warm as you mainly get to sit outside in the afternoon and in the beginning of November, the weather is already rather cold. On top of that, make sure […]
Apparently the newest shit in Lisbon – not sure I agree: Oui Jackie (3. November 2023)
The Oui Jackie is apparently one of the newest and hottest places in Lisbon, and I somehow get why, but I also do not entirely agree with that assessment. The place is relatively small and a bit hidden from the main streets, so it has its own appealing atmosphere, which is quite lovely. However, the […]
Still a nice bar, but not at the peak of its performance anymore: Raygrodski Bar (23. October 2023)
About once every one to two years I’m returning to the Raygrodski, as it remains a simple, but nice place, which offers good drinks, and is open on a Monday evening. Firstly, I went for the “Mastix (mastisha, tropical vermouth, cucumber, sparkling wine)” (CHF 17.00), which was nice, but somehow I was missing a bit […]
Still a decent cocktail bar, but not as mind blowing as with the last visit: No. 27 Bar & Lounge @ The Shelbourne (20. October 2023)
When I was here the last time, I really enjoyed the place. Somehow, it felt a bit different this time. I’m not sure if that was due to the time (as we had arrived shortly after midnight and before the last round) or due to something else. I went for the “dreamcatcher (green spot, Bacardi […]
