No Bar Wine Bar

Ah, Aree, wonderland of linen dresses, bucket hats, kombucha, and vegan cupcakes… what better place in Bangkok could there be for a natural wine bar? The interior sets the tone, all warm wood and kooky knick-knacks, as well as a soft-lit patio, perfect for a chilled glass of white at sunset. Cloudy, umami minimal-intervention wines are very much the order of the day, with surrealist label designs, madman field blends, and more skin contact than a game of Twister. These wines pair naturally with the Thai-leaning menu, and they also host frequent kitchen takeovers, including a recent one by Nonthaburi’s cool-kid restaurant Akkee – we gotta say, fried insects and Chenin Blanc go better together than we would have expected.

Address: 128, 10 Soi Phahon Yothin 2, Samsen Nai, Phaya Thai. 099-229-7465. Open 6pm-midnight Wed-Sun.
