I had the immense pleasure of experiencing the wonderful hospitality, atmosphere, and not to mention — delicious food and inventive cocktails — at Bar Vagabond, during my first visit to Bangkok this past February.
The bar is located within the basement of a residential home, giving it true speakeasy status. As you walk in, relaxing jazz plays in the background and fun decorations hang throughout the space, creating a cozy ambiance. You truly are transported somewhere new.
Mazaki, the owner and lead bartender, was so gracious and friendly, recounting me the story behind his bar, his thoughts on emerging cocktail trends, and offering me some wonderful bar recommendations / other ways to enjoy the city. His recommendations led me down a string of other great bars/experiences where I made some dear friends and fond memories.
Visiting Vagabond was a huge highlight of my trip and made me leave with a place for Bangkok saved in my heart. I will be back soon!
PS: Ask Mazaki to try his signature ramen after you enjoy your drinks. The fish broth in is so clean and amazingly flavorful!
