W Hotel Bangkok’s signature lobby bar buzzes with glitzy purple decor, chic electronica and creative cocktails. 

The deal: Free-flow sparkling wine for gents on Wed and ladies on Thu. Free. B0.

When: Wed-Thu, 7:30-9:30pm.

 

This 29th-floor bar goes for retro vibes, along with pairing menus.

This poky restaurant off Silom Road is the perfect spot for a marathon drinking session. With its narrow shop-house location, long bar, dim lighting and drunken salaryman clientele, the place has the cozy, tavern-like atmosphere of a true izakaya. The katsu (from B240/set) is one of the best in town, too. 

The deal: B600/2 hours (draft beer, sake, shochu, whiskey soda)

 

Taking over the former spot belonging to Carl’s Jr. in salaryman’s haven Soi Thaniya, this fried chicken wing (from B130/five pieces) specialist from Nagoya does a proper list of drinking snacks. Be warned: the low-ceilinged room at the back gets pretty boisterous. There’s another branch on Sukhumvit Soi 39.

The deal: B499/90 minutes (Asahi draft beer, sake, shochu, chuhai, whiskey high-ball, acerola, soft drinks)

 

This late-night izakaya chain, now with three Bangkok branches, is known for its warm, down-to-earth ambience and hearty fare like katsu udon and okonomiyaki (Japanese-style pizza)—best washed down with copious booze. 

The deal: B432/1.5 hours (bottled Asahi, red/white wine, cold sake, whiskey high-ball)

 

Named after the silver screen icon Grace Kelly, this retro, tavern-like Japanese bar and restaurant should be on your hit-list if you’re a Suk 51 regular. Expect affordable izakaya-style comfort food, headlined by teriyaki skewers. Leave it to the chef to select your meat (B315/five, B498/eight), while you focus on getting the drinks in.

The deal: B480/2 hours (beer, cocktails, whiskey, umeshu)

46 Sukhumvit Soi 51. Open Mon-Sat 5pm-12pm. BTS Thong Lo

Retro house, big garden, unfussy Thai dishes—a classic restaurant formula that sadly seems to be in decline in central Bangkok. This place does it just right with great dishes such as gaeng kua poo bai chaploo (curry with crabmeat and wild betel leaf). 

The deal: B399/2 hours of Singha draft beer or B450/2 hours wine, available every day. 

 

Probably the ubiquitous wine bistro’s coolest branch offers plenty of alfresco seating. 

The deal: Unlimited wine and beer for B499, every Wed, 7-9pm.
