Asok, Bangkok
Craft (also known as Craft 23) is one of Southeast Asia's largest tap houses, an open-air craft beer garden on Sukhumvit Soi 23 near Asok, just a short walk from Terminal 21, Soi Cowboy, and the BTS Asok and MRT Sukhumvit stations. Launched as a pop-up in 2014 and now a fully-fledged beer garden, it pours 40+ rotating taps sourced from more than 20 countries alongside a deep bottled selection, giving it a claim to Bangkok's largest craft beer offering. The space features a distinctive retractable roof, so it works rain or shine, transitioning from a relaxed, family-friendly garden by day to an energetic venue by night. The kitchen is a draw in its own right, famous for a house-cured, hand-carved New York-style pastrami sandwich, plus craft burgers, wood-fired pizza, rotisserie chicken, and Thai and Mexican dishes. Weekly theme nights keep it lively, including Pizza Monday, Taco Tuesday, Wings Wednesday, and Burger Thursday, along with a daily happy hour. Live acoustic music runs on Sundays and DJs play on weekends. The crowd is a friendly blend of expats, beer enthusiasts, and locals. A sister venue, Craft 94, operates in Hua Hin.
