Bar crawl alert: four bars in Chinatown have launched new cocktail menus.
Soi Nana’s row of venerated bars — Teens of Thailand, Asia Today, Tax, and Independence — are raising their game with a new line-up of cocktails drawn from each bar’s specific area of expertise. In other words, it’s a perfect excuse to roam around the neighborhood for a bit of bar-hopping action.
If you are new to the area and looking for more straightforward drinks, head to Teens of Thailand, where most of the cocktails focus on variations of gin and tonic. You can try their Chili-Salted Pineapple (THB380), a gin-based cocktail that reimagines Bangkok’s old-time fruit cart favorite using Bombay Sapphire, chili, and salted pineapple tonic cordial topped with soda and a piece of salted pineapple.
