BARS
1. Junker and Bar
Run by mixologist Bard Passapong (W Hotel), this cozy one-year-old bar serves quality craft cocktails like the From Another Red Flower (bourbon whiskey, Cinzano rosso, rose syrup and lime). Bard keeps his specials board ticking over with limited-run drinks featuring home-infused liquors, while you can also get a pretty cheap and cheerful meal of American comfort food, too.
454 Suan Plu Soi 1. 085-100-3608. Open Tue-Sun noon-midnight
2. Smalls
Just a few steps from Junker and Bar is this small nightlife spot which opened earlier this year. It’s the baby of David Jacobson, the guy formerly behind Q Bar on Soi 11, but the moodily-lit bar is more reminiscent of Le Derriere (the absinthe bar he opened behind Q Bar). Order some green fairy and nestle in for the live blues and jazz on Thursday and Friday.
186/3 Suan Plu Soi 1., 081-819-6808. Open Wed-Mon 8:30pm-2am
