Nightlife in Old Town

3 venues in Old Town, Bangkok

Ku Bar

Ku Bar is a hidden, reservation-only cocktail bar in Bangkok's Old Town (Phra Nakhon / Rattanakosin), reached via a narrow, dark alley alongside the Brown Sugar jazz bar on Phra Sumen Road, where a spirit house guards a small brown door and a dusty concrete staircase leads up to the third floor. Behind a sliding wooden door lies a minimalist, brutalist-inspired space of raw concrete, wood and a marble counter, cozy yet slightly eerie, evoking an abandoned omakase restaurant with iron-grated windows drawn from old Thai architecture. The bar is helmed by Anupas Kong Premanuwat, who honed his craft over five years at New York's acclaimed Angel's Share speakeasy. The cocktail menu changes monthly and spotlights local ingredients sourced from the fresh market, with house drinks priced around 350-380 baht, such as a tequila-and-celery drink, a sherry and rose-infused vermouth creation, a 10 Herb cocktail with bruleed sugar, and a banana-chocolate drink with Fernet Branca. Natural wines are also available from around 320 baht per glass. It is a tiny, two-person operation with a strict no-standing policy, so advance booking is essential. The intimate, hushed atmosphere rewards adventurous drinkers who appreciate craft and creativity. It is consistently ranked among the best bars in Bangkok's Old Town.

Two Palms Taproom

Two Palms Taproom is a craft beer community space set inside a heritage colonial building (roughly 185 to 200 years old) in the heart of Bangkok's Old Town on Phra Sumen Road. The elegant two-story space, with box sash windows, colonial arches and a tropical courtyard, is striking enough that some say it looks more like a wedding venue than a place for crushing beers, marked outside by its two namesake palm trees. It runs 15 taps devoted to local Thai craft breweries such as SpaceCraft, Vana Brewing, Sunrise Brewing, Fishbridge, Brainfill and Outlaw, spanning hazy IPAs, sours, stouts, lagers and wheat beers, with tasting flights available. For non-beer drinkers there is a classic cocktail menu including an Old Fashioned, a Moscow-to-BKK Mule and a salted plum highball. The kitchen turns out Thai-style drinking food, from somtam, corn ribs and hash browns to smoked coconut-milk prawns, Thai spice-rubbed ribs and eight-hour slow-cooked brisket. It has been in soft opening since early 2025 and champions Thailand's expanding independent brewing scene. Sunday happy hour brings buy-one-get-one deals on select taps. The vibe is unfiltered, underground and community-minded, drawing craft beer lovers and Old Town explorers.

COLLECTED Natural Wine Bar

COLLECTED is an intimate natural wine bar set in a historic heritage building in Bangkok's Old Town, on Bamrung Mueang Road in Phra Nakhon. Small, relaxed and easy-going, it feels like the kind of neighbourhood wine bar every city wishes it had, with only around ten seats. The program centres on natural, organic and orange wines, often spotlighting lesser-known and underrepresented white grape varieties, and is complemented by local craft beer and a selection of non-alcoholic drinks. Rather than formal lectures, the bar hosts casual tastings and pours built around conversation, shared snacks and easy-going discovery. Shared plates and snacks accompany the drinks, keeping the mood social and unpretentious. The focus is not on chasing trends but on creating a space where good drinks and good conversation come naturally, welcoming both seasoned natural-wine drinkers and curious newcomers. Its Old Town setting makes it a distinctive stop away from the Sukhumvit crowds. The friendly, low-key atmosphere makes exploring unfamiliar bottles feel effortless.
