BKK Social Club

Bangkok

A hotel bar defying the norms

Perched on the banks of Bangkok's central artery, the Chao Phraya River, BKK Social has come to be regarded as somewhat of an institution in the city's ever-growing cocktail bar scene. Led by industry veteran Philip Bischoff, the bar is known for its striking Art Deco interiors, an expansive spirits selection and elegant craft cocktails. Known best for its world-class hospitality and service, BKK Social is a timeless bar that has consistently pushed the boundaries of what a modern hotel bar should look like without ever losing the essence of a classic hotel bar.

BKK Social Club's drinks programme is rooted in the idea that a great cocktail can be both a technical expression and a vehicle for storytelling. Drawing from Latin America while finding its location in the heart of Bangkok, the programme explores people, places and cultural rituals through a reimagining of familiar drinks. Tequila and mezcal sit prominently alongside an expansive spirits selection, with house infusions, macerations and carefully layered flavour combinations adding depth and character. Classics are treated with the same attention as signatures, while bottled cocktails and generous formats encourage sharing, and the bar food is just as much a topic of conversation as the drinks. Above all, the programme is designed to make sophistication feel effortless: drinks that invite conversation, curiosity and hopefully another round.

As cocktail culture in Thailand's capital continues to grow, Bischoff and the team at BKK Social Club continue to ensure the glasses are always full and the city always has something to celebrate.
