Goddess Bar

What is it? Built as a tribute to the beauty, confidence and power of women, the room sets out to make everyone who walks through the door feel suitably divine.

Why we love it This one draws a firm line in the sand, running as a strictly women-only space with no men on the guest list. The interiors channel a sleek New York mood, all considered corners and unabashed feminine charm, which makes it a dream for a post-dinner tipple somewhere intimate, warm and reassuringly safe. With room for just 20 at a time, it delivers the sort of privacy that's near impossible to come by elsewhere in Bangkok. It's proof that a tightly kept secret often makes for the best night out, especially when you'd rather sip in peace than shout over a crowd.

Time Out tip The clever twist lies at the front door, where you need a daily password to get in, available straight from the bar. Weekdays come free, while Friday to Sunday asks B290 entry, comes with a signature cocktail and bottomless popcorn all night.
