This bar is a must try in Bangkok. We were so impressed by the level of excellence across the board- the concept and execution were flawless. We tried a total of 7 drinks across multiple visits and not a single drink was bad. Everything was interesting and extremely well balanced.

The service was excellent, and the atmosphere comfortable. While some bar menus attempt adventurous recipes, Bar Us has perfected the strategy. They deliver unpretentious drinks that are still COCKTAILS- ones I would order again and again (and not just “try” because it looks different).

Our favorite drinks were the Beef & Onion, Guava/Lime, and featured Old Fashioned. We can’t wait to come back!

Bar Us stands out as a place that doesn’t just serve cocktails — it communicates flavor. The atmosphere is warm and modern, with an understated elegance that feels intentional without being pretentious. Every detail, from the glassware to the ice, reflects a thoughtful approach to the drinking experience.

🧂 Highlight – Savory Cocktails for a True Experience

If it’s your first visit, go straight to their Savory section. This is where Bar Us truly shows its character. Their savory drinks lean into depth, umami, and aromatic layers that unfold with every sip — the kind of cocktails that make you pause and think, rather than simply drink.

🍨 For Pure Enjoyment – Try Their Dessert-Inspired Cocktails

Once you’ve explored the savory creations, treat yourself to something from the Dessert side of the menu. These drinks are playful and indulgent, often reminiscent of a plated dessert but presented in cocktail form. Smooth textures, gentle sweetness, and balanced flavors make this category perfect for winding down the night.

🎯 Overall

Bar Us is a spot worth visiting for anyone who appreciates craftsmanship in a glass. Whether you’re here to explore bold savory notes or to simply enjoy a dessert-like drink, the bar delivers a memorable and satisfying experience.

Note: Lack of toilet (only one room)

Bar US is easily one of the best bars in the world, but my experience was a bit of a mixed bag.

Their menu concept is brilliant: you start at the letter “B” and end with “S”, mirroring the name of the bar. Each drink is part of a journey through the alphabet, and the menu really does tell a story. Some of the drinks even taste like food in a very intentional, thoughtful way, which makes the whole experience unique and memorable.

Unfortunately, the night I visited didn’t go perfectly.
They closed at 2, so we had to stop at the letter “R” and couldn’t complete the entire menu. On top of that, they were out of a few drinks, including Yellow Mango ylang ylang, which was a disappointment since I had been looking forward to trying it.

At first, we were seated in a corner, and from there I had trouble really connecting with the bar and the bartenders. It was hard to fully pay attention to what was happening behind the bar or immerse myself in the experience the way I’d hoped. Midway through our visit, though, they moved us to better seating, and that change made a big difference. I appreciated that, and it definitely improved the rest of the night.

Here’s how I felt about the drinks I did get to try:

Melon + White Champaca + Coconut

Even before taking a sip, the white champaca aroma hit me—in the best way possible. The CO₂ in the drink seemed to lift the scent, making it more intense and inviting. The floral notes were pronounced, and the drink left a sweet aftertaste that blended nicely with the gentle lingering bitterness of the Mancino Vermouth Secco.

The coconut water was subtle but present, adding a soft roundness, while the melon tied everything together and balanced the profile beautifully.

Overall, it was a clean, warm, and welcoming drink. The aroma alone woke me up and pulled me into the experience.

Black Rice + Miso
Here, the distilled miso was absolutely the standout. It left a lingering bitter note that stayed on the palate, in a way that was intriguing rather than off-putting. The drink also had a tart, tangy edge that made it feel bold and distinctive. It’s the kind of drink you keep thinking about after you finish it.

Mango Skin + Marigold + Turmeric

In this one, the mango was undeniably the star. The drink was full of flavor, with a pleasing aroma and a balance that really surprised me. The combination of mango skin, marigold, and turmeric worked incredibly well, and the drink exceeded my expectations in every way. It felt like a complete, thoughtful composition rather than just a “mango-forward” drink.

Overall, Bar US still feels like a special place with a truly creative concept and some outstanding drinks. While I was disappointed by the early closing, the initial corner seating, and a few menu items being unavailable, the quality of the drinks and the eventual better seating reminded me why this bar is considered one of the best. I’d absolutely come back—hopefully next time I’ll make it all the way from B to S.
