Good to know
BKK Social Club is the cocktail bar of the Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River, on Charoen Krung Road. It describes itself as a place where Latin American glamour meets Thai hospitality, and its menu takes inspiration from Mexico City. Since opening alongside the hotel in 2020, it has become one of the most recognised bars in Asia, and it ranked number 20 on Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026.
The room is glamorous and theatrical, and cigars are part of the offer for those who want them. The cocktail list is creative and polished, with drinks that combine Latin American spirits and flavours with Thai ingredients and classic technique, and there are also wines, champagne, a large spirits selection and non-alcoholic cocktails.
The bar is open daily from 17:00 to midnight. Guests must be 20 or over, and the dress code is smart casual, with no swimwear or sportswear. Booking ahead is wise at weekends and for larger groups, using the contact details on the Four Seasons website. Early evening is quieter if you want a conversation with the bartenders.
BKK Social Club suits couples, cocktail enthusiasts and groups celebrating an occasion, and it pairs well with dinner at one of the riverside hotel restaurants nearby; Côte by Mauro Colagreco at the neighbouring Capella is a short walk away for a special-occasion meal. Prices are in the luxury hotel bracket. The menu is long and its descriptions are brief, so tell the bartenders which spirits and flavours you usually enjoy and let them suggest a drink. Because the bar is inside a hotel, it is also a comfortable choice for solo travellers and for anyone new to Bangkok's cocktail scene, and a single drink here can easily become the start of a longer evening along Charoen Krung.
The Four Seasons is at 300/1 Charoen Krung Road in the Yan Nawa area of Sathorn district, sharing its riverside site with Capella Bangkok. Saphan Taksin BTS station and Sathorn Pier are a short taxi or tuk-tuk ride north, and the Asiatique riverfront complex is a short distance south. The galleries, cafés and bars of the Charoen Krung creative district are all within easy reach.
