One of Bangkok's most storied bars, operating inside the legendary Mandarin Oriental hotel since the 1950s. It's a jazz bar at heart, with live performances most evenings and a classic colonial atmosphere that feels genuinely historic. The cocktails are expensive but well-made, and the setting is unmatched for old-world Bangkok glamour. Dress code is smart casual — they will turn away flip-flops.
