"Speedboat Bar is a fun and fiery Thai restaurant on the edge of Chinatown. With an upstairs bar open until 1am on weekends, self-pour three-litre Singha beer towers, and wolfable curries—it’s also a lot of fun. It’s soundtracked by the chatter of tightly knit groups of friends and the scraping of spoons in excellent sauces and broths. The unapologetically fiery drunkard’s noodles are a must-order, so is the lurid red, meltingly gorgeous plate of beef tongue and tendon." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
