Best Bars in Thonglor, Bangkok

Thonglor has great nightlife. If you are looking for a walkable with plenty of bars and places to hang out, then this is where you should be. Everything is within walking distance on the main street, which means you don’t have to use cabs in the busy city. This place is great to explore for the evening. Here is our list of some of the best bars in Thonglor, if you are looking for more on the neighborhood, then check out or posts on the restaurants and coffee shops of Thonglor.


Backstage Bar @ PlayHaus Hotel


To get to this bar, you need to walk into the grand foyer at the Playhaus hotel. Then, approach the red curtain, stepping through will transport you into a dark and cozy speakeasy-themed dressing room filled with old school dressing mirrors and candles. The music and easygoing vibe were awesome. The cocktails were great quality and were accompanied by delicious popcorn for snacking. This is one of our favorite bars in Bangkok because it has a very down to earth attitude and old school aesthetic hidden behind the thick red curtain. Their facebook with more info can be found here. We had a killer American style whiskey Sour.

Hours: 7pm-2am daily

*They require minimum 1 drinks/person, due to limited seats

*They have no dress code, except no tank tops for guys. Sorry bros.

Wanderlust Rooftop Bar

This chill spot in Thonglor is a smaller, cozy rooftop bar with lights strung up all over. The bar can be kind of confusing to find.

It’s nearby the popular brunch spot called Sundays Thonglor. Their menu and more info can be found on their facebook found here and the whole menu can be found here.

Iron Fairies


This bar is a gem. It’s a dark elusive bar in the Thonglor district. As you enter, you need to give yourself time for your eyes to adjust to the moody lighting. It’s filled with vintage decorations and several spiral staircases. It sort of feels like walking into an old school pirate ship. The bar has excellent drinks and killer burgers. The name is based off a children’s book with a world of iron miners who make iron fairies that come to life when they see the sun. Their website with their menu, story, and merchandise store can be found here.
