Bar Foucault - Review - Nimmanhaemin - Chiang Mai - The Infatuation

"Hidden behind a slab of cement with no indication of a door, Bar Foucault serves cocktails inspired by philosophical theorems and ideas. (Yes, it’s named after Michel Foucault, the French philosopher and humanities students’ worst nightmare.) One drink recalls Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory: a gin-based drink with floral accents gradually emerging, mirroring his idea of the unconscious mind. Another cocktail is based on Jean-Paul Sartre's existentialism, mixing disparate elements like brandy, rum, and sherry wine, and letting them acquire an identity when mixed together. If nothing else, they’re great conversation starters—and the venue is perfect for a thoughtful philosophical discussion, with subtle music that won’t drown anybody out." - Vichayuth Chantan
