Not far from Sing Sing Theatre, this bar wraps you in dim red velvet, its walls and ceilings drowning beneath thousands of gin bottles for a steampunk-submarine effect. Iron Balls has earned Bangkok a spot on the craft distillery map, brewing tropical-leaning gin in a German-imported copper still at its Ekkamai bar-slash-distillery. Now there's a second outpost in Phrom Phong, built around punchy cocktails that put the house in centre stage. Every corner reflects owner-designer Ashley Sutton's maximalist vision – brassy trimmings, sleek leather chairs, hard-hat diving masks. Empty distilling vessels and bottles dangle overhead, and suddenly you're underwater, adrift among a thousand rising bubbles.
Soi Sukhumvit 45. Open Monday-Sunday, 8pm-2am. Call 063 225 1331
