23 Bar

Location : Sukhumvit 16

Atmosphere : Hidden in a high-rise residential area in sukhumvit 16, a 2-storey shop house resides a cool and super cozy Japanese bar that you can secretly smoke inside. 23 Bar has no actual closing time because when looking from the outside it seems to be closed all the time anyway. They cover all the windows with shaggy bits of paper boxes and metal doors so it can be tricky spotting the place sometimes. The decoration of the place was simply executed with a few pieces of vintage furniture and a couple of toy decors. But the cool part is that they have a huge cupboard full of Japanese DVDs you can borrow. The crowd is mostly indie people and a lot of them are Japanese. Here people tend to sit at the bar and have chat with bartenders and others at the bar which is quite an uncommon behaviour for Thai people but you can do it normally in 23 Bar. The music they play is mostly alternative rock from the 90's and some Thai indie music. From time to time they organize little gigs with both local and foreign indie bands.

Rating : 4/5
