The bar’s name comes from a literal meaning you’d never expect. In room 72 of Josh Hotel in the heart of Ari, this hidden bar adds a playful twist – you’ll need a special key card to unlock the door, just like checking into a hotel room. Inside, the vibe is retro, with jazzy, funky tunes setting the mood and a red-hued interior that channels the charm of the ’60s and ’70s from the wallpaper to the furniture. The cocktail menu is inspired by the (fictional) travels of Mr. Josh, the hotel’s imagined protagonist. Each drink tells a story from his journey across the world, using ingredients that reflect the culture and character of each destination from Japan and China to France and the US.
19/2 Josh Hotel, Ari Soi 4, Phaya Thai. 02-102-4999. Open daily 6pm-1am.
