From the legends of Kowloon to a hidden spot in Thonglor, Residents Only is a cocktail bar that channels the infamous Kowloon Walled City (a floating slum of Hong Kong) into an experience you can actually feel.
Starting with the mysterious entrance and rooms recreated with uncanny attention to detail, the bar exudes a vibe that’s deliberately worn, raw and a little chaotic. Tangled wires, vintage posters and old knick-knacks fill the space, yet it somehow pulses with creative energy.
The signature drinks are just as daring, turning Thai and Hong Kong street food into inventive cocktails. Standouts include mojitou, mala martini and pad priew wan – all playful, unexpected twists on familiar flavours.
Address: 160, 17 Thong Lo, Khwaeng Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana. Open daily 7pm-1am.
