The new sip on the block in downtown’s Phloen Chit area is a down-to-earth wine bar that’s all about discovery.
Mod Kaew Wine Bar (mod kaew meaning “bottoms up,” as you might know) takes over what used to be Bambino, a space tucked down a small alley off the residential Soi Nai Lert. Inside, the vibe exudes a moody yet homey feel with touches of red neon, minimalist wood paneling, a wall lined with rows and rows of wine, and a giant Pablo Picasso portrait overlooking the living room-like space.
The venue is the brainchild of three industry vets – Pablo Padilla Fernandez of Soul Wines, Atcha Wongchindawest of Kim Jong Grill, and Ottara Pyne, ex-sommelier of Gaggan. Their goal is to bring together anyone and everyone, from aficionados and industry folk to natural wine first-timers and people who might prefer the grain to the grape.
There’s no wine list…
