Fittingly set in a theater-themed boutique hotel, velvet curtains part the way into a collection of velvet sofas and mirrors and a design that looks like a backstage dressing room, and indeed, there is further decor based on famous stage plays like Romeo and Juliet. It's cool and enticing, but forget about the vibe, you want to come here to drink, as Backstage Bar is home to some of Bangkok's top mixologists (they win awards every year), and you'll find the majority of the city's best bartenders coming here to drink on their day off. Everything is uber-creative here. The standout Earthbeet combines beetroot-infused tequila with mezcal, vermouth, Campari and artichoke liqueur, and there is a 'Godfather'-themed drink that mixes lapsang souchong tea with infused Scotch whiskey, limoncello, almond liqueur, chocolate tobacco bitters, and olive brine shrub! You'll have some of the most creative cocktails imaginable here, and there is a reason why Backstage was named as one of Asia's Best 50 bars, actually coming in 13th for the coveted award.
