WTF Bar & Gallery

7 Sukhumvit Soi 51, 02-626-6246. Open Tue-Sun 3pm-10pm (gallery), 6pm-1am (bar). BTS Thong Lo. www.wtfbangkok.com.
While others restrict themselves to serving only beer and whiskey, WTF goes all out with a neat selection of creative cocktails like Muay Thai Punch and The Robert Frost. The food, too, is as creative as it comes, focusing on Mediterranean-inspired, tapas-style dishes. On the artistic side, WTF features equally innovative art exhibitions. Have you seen that massive ball of wire thing floating outside the bar?

Nospace Gallery

21/108 Block D, RCA, Rama 9 Rd. Open Wed-Sat 6pm-1am. www.nospacebkk.com.
It’s a challenge to concentrate on the art when the gallery is located right in the epicenter of the city’s nightlife scene. Such is the case with Nospace. Once the sun has dropped below the horizon, the gallery magically morphs into a sizeable bar, complete with a space reserved for bands, most of which are under indie label Panda Records.

Toot Yung Gallery

19 Prachathipatai Rd., 084-914-5499. Open Tue-Sun 2pm-8pm.
Although relatively new, this whimsically-named gallery is fast becoming the new hangout spot among young artists, musicians and writers. Set in a converted two-story shophouse, Toot Yung’s first floor doubles as a book shop as well as a bar collectively called Chez Lodin. So, scenesters, if WTF is too crowded, this could be your other option—as long as you don’t mind hiking across town.

Eat Me

Soi Piphat 2, Silom Rd., 02-238-0931. Open daily 3pm-1am. www.eatmerestaurant.com
Eat Me is a true triple threat; combining a restaurant, an art gallery and now a new bar into one lofty place. Decked out in modish monochrome, the restaurant serves fusion fare complete with an impressive range of wines. Don’t bother looking for a gallery as artworks are usually hung on the walls around the restaurant. Most of the exhibitions here are organized by H Gallery, so expect works from up-and-coming contemporary Asian artists.
