Bangkok's cocktail lovers are raising one last glass to a beloved tropical hideaway. Tropic City, the bar that helped put Charoen Krung and Talat Noi on the map as the city's coolest neighbourhood for nightlife, announces it will close at the end of April after eight years of slinging rum punches and tiki cocktails. The final countdown has arrived, and the farewell parties kick off properly this weekend.
Save the date for the big goodbye on April 24-26, when friends, family, drinks, dancing and food come together one last time. After eight years as one of Bangkok's first independent cocktail bars, celebrating tropical drinks and championing music and DJs, Tropic City empties out in style.
Friday April 24 kicks off with Bangkok OGs Neung, Niks, Joh and Bank who shaped the scene (honouraries Tor, Palm, Pop, Chacha and more sadly can't join). Decks get stacked with tunes from DJ Susha, Alex Zaldua, NK Chan, Takamichi, Shir Khan and Ayahtareek.
Saturday April 25 brings house party vibes with special guest bartenders, Friend Shift open for any guest to make a drink, Gallery Pizza popping up and a stacked DJ lineup featuring Mo-Funk, Koish, MumsfiliJayja, DOTT and Elaheh.
Sunday April 26 marks the last and final day of Tropic City with a proper bar clearing (everything must go), more pizzas from Gallery Pizza and music by DJ Tam Bryce, KAPPA, Brent Burns, Seelie, Pam Anantr, Mumsfilibaba and Pati Mala.
Walk-ins only, free entry. If you've ever fancied a trip to this tropical Bangkok gem, now's your chance to experience it before it becomes another cherished memory of the city's ever-evolving bar scene. Don't just sit at home. Get down there and raise a glass to one of Bangkok's originals.
