The people behind Salt (on the corner of Ari Soi 4), the popular Ari restaurant doing sophisticated fusion dishes, have now expanded by opening up a second venue across the street. Simply called Ari, this new venture is unapologetically a standard Thai pub: a band in one corner, big tables for large groups, plenty of whisky bottles, and a menu of glab glaem (albeit with some fusion touches). No phone number as yet, stay tuned for our On the Bar.
