Ladies, you don’t have to wait until the weekend to get the party started. Here are eight bars to kick back with your gang. Added bonus: buy-one-get-one free cosmopolitans—only you have to mix the second one yourself.
TUESDAY
It’s only the start of the week but you and the girls still deserve a nice drink after a long working day. This bar combines fuss-free comfort dishes with a laid-back rooftop and high-flying drinks to match the fourth-floor views.
Why ladies love it: Chilled out and chat-friendly.
4/F, Mercury Ville, 504 Phloen Chit Rd., 081-995-6984. Open daily 11am-midnight. BTS Chit Lom. Facebook: Roof 409 Bar & Bistro
Just because it looks quiet doesn’t mean Ari isn’t one of Bangkok’s most happening areas. A big part of that is down to this stylish neighborhood favorite which just turned five and continues to serve a winning combo of Japanese and Western flavors, plus classic cocktails with creative twists.
Why ladies love it: Preppy eye candy and super edgy decor.
111/2 Ari Soi 4, 02-619-6886. Open daily 5pm-midnight. BTS Ari. Facebook: Salt Aree
WEDNESDAY
If you’re looking for an easygoing spot that reminds you and the girls of trips to Europe, this colorful Sathorn hotspot is the place. Founded by five college friends in Shanghai back in 2011, the bar expanded to Bangkok just a few months ago. It packs a stunning booze collection, giving you plenty of inspiration to mix your own drink.
Why ladies love it: Even if you’re not hitting on the French boys, you gotta love that continental cafe atmosphere.
Nestled on the rooftop of J-Avenue community mall, right in the center of Thonglor, this bar is a bit of a hidden gem.
Why ladies love it: Just the spot for you and the gang to take the edge off that mid-week stress.
4/F, J Avenue, Sukhumvit Soi 55, 095-641-6626. Open daily 6pm-2am. Facebook: Enchanted Bar
If you and the gang are feeling particularly adventurous, try this brand new hangout right on the corner of Thonglor Soi 10. Order a light meal like the Salmon Saab, paired with a refreshing cocktail or two. This bar has another branch at Mega Bangna, too.
Why the ladies love it: “It’s brand new! Let’s check it out.”
1/F, Ten Building, Thonglor Soi 10, 02-714-8052. 1/F, Mega Bangna, 02-105-1977. Facebook: 7th Street
THURSDAY
After some sophistication and old-world charm? Set in a 100-year-old house painted bright pink, Namsaah just oozes nostalgia and charm, jazzed up by a playful pop edge in the decor’s kitschy palette. The menu here was created by one of Thailand’s most globally recognized chefs, Ian Kittichai, and adds twists to Asian comfort food.
Why the ladies love it: The roccocoo decor and signature Krungthep Cosmo made with Absolut mandarin.
For a rooftop break far removed from the fast-paced business life of Silom-Sathorn, head up to the 47th floor of United Center Building. This spacious, all-white rooftop bar tops our list for breezy hangouts thanks to its distinctly Thai character.
Why ladies love it: Instagram-worthy rooftop views and easy-listening bands.
47/F, United Center, Silom Rd., 091-889-9600. BTS Sala Daeng. Open Mon-Sat 5pm-midnight. BTS Sala Daeng. Facebook: Cloud 47
FRIDAY
Kick off early with tasty dishes, some pre-game cocktails and good grooves spun by local talented DJs at this stylishly designed Thonglor institution.
Why ladies love it: The little dancefloor means you can stay here all night long.
Sukhumvit Soi 55 (Thonglor), between soi 15 and 17, 02-712-7288. Open daily 5pm-2am. Facebook: Badmotel
FLASKA FANTASTIC
These eight bars are all doing a buy-one-get-one-free deal on select nights. When ordering a Cosmopolitan you’ll get a free Absoluty Shore.
The drinks come in “flaska” jars—a cute mason jar complete with an oversize straw and your name on it. That’s only half the fun though. The bartender will make the first one, but you’ll have to make the second one by yourself under their careful guidance (excluding Namsaah Bottling Trust). What’s an Absoluty Shore? Fresh lime, lychee juice, sugar syrup and excellent vodka. We absolutely recommend Absolut.
