Time Out says

The revamped Speakerbox is back in its Thonglor stomping ground after a months-long facelift. Now with serious space gains and just a block and a few steps from its original location, Speakerbox 2.0 still retains its no-frills drinking spot with a dive bar soul. Speakerbox welcomes you with the bar area slinging music-inspired cocktails and pulling double duty as a chill café by day, and there’s no entry fee for its bar atmosphere. The main event though is hosting resident musicians and underground acts on the regular. This all happens in the live room, a purpose-built environment where sound quality takes priority, creating an optimal setting for live performances which can easily fit a crowd without anyone having to elbow their way through. Each night brings a different genre, so keep up with the lineup at Speakerboxbkk. And if you find your musical match in the city, tickets are available through Ticketmelon or at the entrance on event nights.

What’s on

Shoot heart-shaped targets and smash midnight pinatas at Speakerbox's Love Will Tear Us Apart

Speakerbox flips Valentine’s Day on its head with an Anti Valentine’s gathering that favours honesty over romance and raw feeling over polite smiles. Live bands all night, roaming performers and a black and red dress code that leans dramatic rather than sentimental. Guests can pick up a bow and shoot heart shaped targets, whether aimed at lost love, unresolved anger or a memory that still lingers. A private camera-ree corner offers space for quieter release, while a tongue in cheek ‘Your Ex’ target adds humour to the ritual. A special cocktail anchors the bar and conversation flows easily between strangers who understand complicated emotions. Midnight brings a heart shaped piñata, smashed without ceremony, closing an evening that treats Valentine’s less like celebration and more like collective catharsis. February 14. B400 via here and B500 at the door. Speaker Box, 8.30pm onwards
