Vesper

Silom's moody bar appeals to serious cocktail drinkers. 

Convent Road’s Vesper is an elegant blend of gentlemen’s club and European bistro with an imposing marble bar and a menu that appeals to serious cocktail drinkers. Pull up a seat to chat with head barkeep Supawit “Palm” Muttarattana, whose string of accolades include winning Diageo World Class Thailand 2012 and the Campari Bartender Competition Asia Pacific 2019. Following that, Vesper earned a no. 26 spot on Asia’s 50 Best Bars.

Now hot off the heels of taking home another BAD Award, the Vesper team have replaced their long-standing Art Book menu with “Contrast,” which marries diametrically opposed ideas into unique concoctions like the Moon and Sun (B400), a mix of toasted sunflower seeds, honey Galliano, Cocchi Americano, Tanqueray and sparkling wine, and the Deep/Shallow (B370), which unites seaweed, pineapple, coconut, citrus smoked whiskey and Bacardi Carta Blanca. Meanwhile, Local Global (B370) nods to Thai favorites with a Chang beer and Red Bull reduction, palm sugar, pineapple and lime Phraya rum.

For those who’d rather stick to the classics or are mourning their former menu, they’ve got you covered with their “Hall of Fame” selection, which keeps the Silver Vesper (B440), Grapes of Wrath (B400) and Flower Carrier (B440), among others, alive.

Next door, vibrant Mediterranean bistro Via Maris has recently been replaced with the playful Italian pasta and Negroni bar, 1919
