The Bamboo Bar

The 20 Best Bars In Bangkok - Bangkok - The Infatuation

"The Bamboo Bar was the first jazz bar to open in Bangkok, way back in 1953 at the Mandarin Oriental. The hotel has done its best to preserve the 1950s charm, with live jazz every day of the week and a strict dress code banning shorts and slippers. Their cocktail menu is themed around the concept of evolution, being adaptable and versatile as time passes, like the bamboo plant. Two crowd-pleasers from the menu are the bee’s knees with green mango and thai chili, and the mango sticky rice cocktail, which tastes exactly like the dessert. This is the kind of place you take someone to make them fall in love with you, or to feel like you’re in a romantic TV series where someone wealthy gets offed in a couple of episodes." - vichayuth chantan
