The Key Room No. 72

A stylish hidden bar located inside Bangkok's Josh Hotel in Ari, accessible only by requesting a special keycard at reception. Behind its discreet door lies a sultry space dressed in deep crimson hues, mirrored accents, and plush seating that channel the elegance of a 1920s speakeasy. The atmosphere is intimate and refined, often enhanced by smooth jazz or funk playing in the background. At the marble bar, guests can explore a cocktail menu inspired by the whimsical travels of 'Mr. Josh,' featuring inventive signatures such as the smoky Mr. Josh's Journey, the bold Sazerac, the smooth Marilyn 1950s, and the refined El Presidente Twist.

Bangkok Mojo

Bangkok Mojo is a cozy, soulful live music bar and self-styled music lovers' club set along Charoen Krung Road in the artsy Bang Rak district, just steps from Silom. It champions timeless tunes played live, with a strong focus on quality sound and a warm sense of community among regulars. From Wednesday to Sunday, rotating bands and musicians bring the stage to life with soul, jazz, funk, blues, disco, roots and classic rock, largely drawn from the 1960s through the 1990s. Nights follow themed programming such as Swingin' Wednesday (rockabilly), Retro Thursday, Finally Friday, Bluesy Saturday and Easy Sunday, with acoustic sets giving way to full live bands as the evening builds. There is no cover charge, just a modest minimum spend of around 300 THB per person, and the bar serves solid cocktails and drinks with friendly service. The intimate, welcoming room and skilled resident musicians consistently earn praise for their energetic, heartfelt performances. It draws a mature, music-focused crowd of locals, expats and 40+ travelers who come for genuine musicianship over party crowds. Free parking is available nearby at Soi 39, and the venue is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

Thonglor

Salon Kiku

Salon Kiku is a natural wine bar and listening room that opened in 2024 on the 4th floor of Studio Lam on Sukhumvit Soi 51, in the heart of Thonglor. It positions itself as a hybrid space that gives equal attention to what is in your glass and what is coming through the speakers, pairing a rotating selection of natural reds, whites and orange wines with a serious analog sound system built around warm Altec A7 speakers. The compact room clusters tables tightly around the sound and offers panoramic views across Bangkok's skyline, with a jazz-cafe mood early in the evening that builds into more dynamic energy as the night goes on. Music spans jazz, soul, funk, Thai funk, global grooves, disco and house, delivered through curated DJ sets and occasional live performances. Beyond natural wine by the glass and bottle, the bar pours classic cocktails and craft non-alcoholic drinks, with small plates of cheese, charcuterie and snacks to share. The crowd skews thoughtful rather than frantic, mixing Bangkok's creative and social scene with international visitors who value good conversation as much as good music. It is a roughly 5-10 minute walk from BTS Thong Lo, making it an easy, relaxed destination for a date or a low-key night out. Reservations are not required and the dress code is casual.
