Beer Belly

 
On Thonglor, Beer Belly’s brick walls come emblazoned with graffiti, neon red signs and Insta-perfect bronzed lighting. Games like Jenga, pool, table tennis, chess and beer pong keep people busy (and drunk) throughout the night.
G/F, 72 Courtyard, 72 Sukhumvit Soi 55 (Thonglor), 02-392-7770. Open daily 5pm-2am. BTS Thong Lo
 
 

Nineteens Up

 
This chill bar will make you feel like a kid again. Hoping to create something more than a simple place to indulge in international and local craft beers, Steve Avram, the brain behind Hobbyist Cafe and Seii Shabu Sushi, has conjured up an adult’s playground with pool and ice hockey tables, board games and darts.

ART

 
 

Duke

 
Here’s where drinking meets art. Duke’s gray cement walls are brightened by a host of paintings, sculptures and art pieces by Thai talents. Sit back with a quality whiskey on one of the brown leather seats and take it all in—who said multitasking had to be difficult?
1/F, Gaysorn Village, 999 Phloen Chit Rd., 080-587-9520. Open daily 11am-midnight. BTS Chit Lom
 
 

Maison Close

 
This edgy, hidden Charoenkrung bar-slash-gallery hosts everything from Japanese erotic grotesco art exhibits to hard noise sets from the likes of Gamnad 737. After a ya dong cocktail or two, head upstairs to check out the tattoo studio—what could possibly go wrong?
397/399 Charoen Krung Soi 45. Wed-Sun 3pm-midnight. BTS Saphan Taksin
 
 

Paintbar

 
Release your inner Van Gogh at this art space and bar. Here, you can pour your heart out onto a canvas (B799 including two hours of art instruction), while sipping on tap beers.
