No need to move any further. Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park has unveiled Akira Back and ABar – the latest immersive dining and drinking duplex atop the 37th floor of the swanky hotel where an impressive soiree of creative dining and swish bar-hopping occur all under one roof. Here is our guide to make the most of your night.
17:00 — Pair your favorite gin drinks with the glorious sunset view at ABar Rooftop
Apart from the bustling Chao Phraya River, Bangkok appears at its best in orangey hue at the glow of sunset. So we suggest starting up the evening climbing up to a rooftop bar with, of course, brilliant, refreshing drinks in your hand. And ABar Rooftop can provide just that. Offering unbeatable views overlooking gleaming skyscrapers offset by lush Benjasiri Park, ABar Rooftop prides itself in its vast gin collection with more than 50 labels, making it one of the most promising gin bars in Bangkok. Select your favorite juniper or choose from a number of creative gin-based tipples designed by the rooftop’s savvy bar team who promises an impressive overture to your perfect evening.
19:00 — Indulge in Akira Back’s innovative East-meet-West creations
Now it’s time to head down and get fueled up at the first Bangkok outpost of Akira Back where creative fusion masterpieces promise to take your breath away. A study in sleek, contemporary Asian décor with a touch of traditional motifs, Akira Back breaks new ground by offering cuisine that fuses Japanese, Korean and American influence as a reflection of Akira Back’s pan-national background as in the likes of the signature tuna pizza coming with tuna sashimi atop crispy-thin pizza crust with tiny drizzling of truffle oil, and AB Taco featuring Korean bulgogi beef dressed in a modern costume.
Sushi lovers can find their place at the sushi bar where premium cuts are prepared in front of you, while gourmands can savor specialties of the day at the counter bar. Elevate your plates with Akira Back’s own sake that’s produced at century-old Nanbu Bijin brewery in Southern Japan. There are also a number of private rooms for parties of big groups with breathtaking views over Sukhumvit.
21:30 — Cap off with a nightcap within stunning Victorian setting at ABar
The perfect evening is not complete without a good drink and a strikingly romantic setting. With the awe-inspiring, moodily-lit setting that fuses Victorian London motifs with gritty Manhattan aesthetics with a blend of dark wood and brassy objects, ABar is specialized in dark spirit, so expect premium dark rum, whiskey and cognac turning to vintage and Prohibition-era concoctions. There’s no better way to end up the night than lounging into one of the handsome couches and unwind along with relaxed jazzy tunes with perfect bevvied cocktails in your hands.
Akira Back opens Mon-Sat 18:00-23:00; Sun 12:00-14:30, 18:00-23:00
ABar opens daily 17:00-1:00 (Rooftop), 19:00-1:00 (Bar)
