Opium Bar

Opium Bar
Walk through Laoteng restaurant on Charoen Krung Road and tell the staff you're looking for "the bar.
" They'll guide you through to a theatrical space dripping in burgundy velvet and gold accents that feels transported from 1920s Shanghai.
This isn't subtle—it's opulent, dramatic, internationally recognized for cocktails that arrive with dry ice and garnishes more complex than most meals. The decor commits fully to the opium den aesthetic without being offensive, and the drink menu reads like historical fiction.

Monika's Tip
Sit upstairs if you can. The main floor gets packed and loud. The upper level has the same drinks with half the noise and better people-watching views down to the bar."
