Vesper

Vesper is a cocktail bar and restaurant on Convent Road, a side street linking Silom and Sathorn, named after the martini variation created in Ian Fleming's Casino Royale. Since opening it has become one of the most consistently admired bars in the city, appearing on Asia's 50 Best Bars every year from 2016 to 2025. Its own description of the approach is high-quality drinks served without snobbery, and the bar has a relaxed, grown-up feel that suits both serious cocktail drinkers and those just looking for a good evening out.

The room has a classic, comfortable feel, and the bartenders are happy to talk you through the list. The menu changes periodically and mixes the bar's own creations with well-made classics. As a restaurant as well as a bar, it serves European-style food, so you can settle in for dinner rather than just a drink. A wine list and non-alcoholic options are also available. If you are new to the bar, try one drink from the house list and one classic, which gives a good sense of both sides of what the team does.

Vesper is open every day from 18:30 to 02:00, with last orders at 01:30. The bar does not publish a reservation system on its hours page, so contact it by email if you want to plan a visit for a larger group. Parking is available at Liberty Square nearby. Early evening is usually calmer, and the bar gets busy from around 21:00, especially at weekends.

Vesper suits couples, friends and solo drinkers who enjoy carefully made cocktails in a comfortable setting, and it makes a good alternative to the city's rooftop bars for anyone who prefers conversation to views. Prices are in the upper range for Bangkok but fair for the quality.

The bar is at 10/15 Convent Road in Silom, Bang Rak, a few minutes' walk from Sala Daeng BTS station and Si Lom MRT station. The restaurants and bars of Silom and Sathorn are close by, Lumphini Park is across Rama IV Road, and Le Du on Silom Soi 7 and Somtum Der on Sala Daeng Road are within easy walking distance for dinner beforehand.
