From a tiny corner in soi Ari to the bustle of Khaosan road as Mischa Cheap, the journey lands now at National Bar, tucked into an old Song Wat Road building that somehow stops you mid-step. Inside, the decor quietly boasts its history, while a Van Gogh lightbox glows in one corner, brimming with stories the staff can’t wait to share. The soundtrack drifts just right, the crowd shifts between familiar faces and curious wanderers, and suddenly a simple night out feels elevated. Drinks like the National Anthem and Mischa Cheap Gin arrive with character and a hint of narrative in every pour. And if you linger long enough to chat with the bartender, each sip becomes a little richer, a little more alive.
Address: 1350 Song Wat Rd, Khwaeng Samphanthawong, Samphanthawong, Bangkok. Open daily, 4pm-1am
