Bar Luk Krung Ari builds its world around old Bangkok – the city as it sounded and felt in another era – then translates into a cocktail bar that takes Thai spirits seriously. Luk krung is not background filler here; it is the main atmospheric thread. The drinks lean on local Thai liquors but are mixed with enough craft and intent that ordering one feels like the right place to start. Live music runs from Wednesday to Saturday from 8pm, and the Thursday sessions have gathered enough of a following that people turn up specifically for them.
Ari, Sam Sen Nai, Phaya Thai. Open Tue–Sun 5pm–midnight. Live music Wed–Sat from 8pm. Tel. 082 114 6339
