Bangkok's Secret Bars and Speakeasies

What if we told you Bangkok has a secret nightlife scene hidden behind lockers, inside photo booths, and tucked away in unassuming storefronts? No, this isn’t an elaborate prank—this is the world of Bangkok’s speakeasies, where craft cocktails and hidden entrances turn a night out into a full-fledged adventure.

In this video, we take you on a hunt for Bangkok’s best speakeasies, starting with a quick history lesson on these elusive bars. Born from the Prohibition era when alcohol had to be hidden from authorities (spoiler: it didn’t stay hidden for long), speakeasies have since evolved into an art form, blending creativity, secrecy, and mixology magic. And because we love a good treasure hunt—especially one that ends with a cocktail—we set out to track down four of Bangkok’s most intriguing hidden bars:

First up is The Locker Room, where you have to literally walk through a wall of lockers to reach your well-earned drink. Then, we slip into The Rabbit Hole, an award-winning cocktail bar that proves Alice might’ve been onto something when she tumbled into Wonderland. Next, we uncover Blessing Shophouse, a speakeasy infused with traditional Chinese heritage, blending the aesthetics of an old-world Chinese shophouse with modern mixology. The intricate décor features plum blossom patterns and motifs symbolizing happiness, longevity, and good fortune, making it one of the most unique and visually stunning speakeasies in Bangkok. Finally, we finish the night at Find the Photo Booth, which is, you guessed it, hidden behind a vintage photo booth. If you ever wanted to feel like a secret agent ordering a craft cocktail, this is your place.

Along the way, we sample some of the most mind-blowing signature drinks these bars have to offer, watching the mixologists work their magic and confirming that, yes, Bangkok really is one of the best cocktail cities in the world. If you’re looking for unique things to do in Bangkok, a night of speakeasy-hopping is one adventure you won’t want to miss.

Join us as we navigate the twists, turns, and hidden doors of Bangkok’s secret bars, proving that sometimes, the best nights out start with a little detective work.
