SOI 11
Although it's seen some significant changes in the last few years, Soi 11 has yet to relinquish its position as one
of Bangkok's premier nightlife strips. Its selling point is its diversity, and options range from the streetside, VW
van-based bars to sophisticated dens like Le Derrie

picks:
600B; 8pm-2am; Nana exit 3) In club years, Q Bar is fast approaching retirement age, but big-name
guest DJs and a recent renovation have ensured that it still maintains a place in Bangkok's club scene. For

(Q Bar, 34 Soi 11, Th Sukhumvit;
9pm-3am;
Nana exit 3).
5pm-1am Mon-Thu, 5pm-2am Fri-Sat, 3pm-1am Sun; Nana exit 3) Antiques and a shophouse-like setting
give Apoteka a fun, old-school feel. Solid drinks and blues-oriented bands every night from 9.30pm make it one
of the better places in the area to sip to live music.
Sukhumvit, Soi 11, Th Sukhumvit; 6pm-2am; Nana exit 3) Couple downward glances at Bangkok's most
cosmopolitan neighbourhood with the Peruvian/Japanese bar snacks at this sophisticated rooftopper.
late; Nana exit 3) Come 1am, when most Soi 11 bars begin to close down, folks file into this popular hotel
nightclub.
5pm-
midnight Tue-Sun; Nana exit 3) A tiny bar with a big emphasis on cocktails, Alchemist claims to do
Bangkok's best old fashioned, and we tend to agree.
Sukhumvit; 5pm-2am; Nana exit 3) Perched eight floors up on the roof of Le Fenix Hotel, Nest is a chic
maze of cleverly concealed sofas and inviting day-beds. A DJ soundtrack and one of the more thoughtful pub
grub menus in town keep things down to earth.
Nana exit 3) It touts itself as a bistro, but it's more like a cocktail bar dressed like a club with food.
