Al Majlis

83/8 Ekkamai Soi 12, 02-392-2345. Open daily 12:30pm-12:30am.
Hidden in the middle of a residential area and part of the Pradu Spa, this Moroccan tearoom has a small yard and big fluffy pillows to flop down on while you’re picking from their carefully selected wine list. You can even hear the noise of little crickets welcoming winter.

Indy Trees Bar

44/4 Cheua Plerng Rd., under Rama 4 Expressway, 02-249-0222-3. Open daily 5pm-1am.
With its rather mysterious location by a train track and under an expressway, Indy Trees Bar has that exclusive in-the-know vibe. Decked out in retro style, the bar has three different zones (there are even karaoke rooms), but we recommend the canopied garden where you’ll be treated to some ear candy by a mellow band.

Be-Zeen

The Town Road Plaza, Town in Town, 02-530-8276. Open daily 6pm-1am.
In far faraway Town in Town, this outdoor bar offers good food along with pop tunes played by live bands. And when you’ve had enough of winter in the countryside (or almost) you can always retreat to nearby Ekkamai.

Spring, Summer, Winter

199 Soi Promsri 2, between Sukhumvit 49 and 39, 02-392-2747. Open daily 5-11pm.
Get literal and head down to Winter (the bar) after a nice meal at Spring (the restaurant). There’s a lawn in front of the restaurant so you can chill after nightfall on the big pillows they lay out there. Then start drinking well-blended cocktails for the grown-ups and yummy chocolate desserts (from Summer) for the sweet-toothed.
