Why we recommend it
Tep Bar occupies a two-storey shophouse down a back alley off Soi Nana, the Chinatown lane that has become one of Bangkok's most interesting bar streets. The name and the setting lean proudly into Thai culture, from the music to the drinks.
The draw is the nightly live music, with bands playing classic Thai songs and the odd pop hit on traditional instruments. The drinks list focuses on Thai ingredients: cocktails built on local spirits, herbs and seasonal fruit, as well as Thai craft beer, whisky, gin and rum. Thai-inspired snacks are available. It is a short walk from MRT Wat Mangkon, so combine it with street food on Yaowarat before heading in.
