Soi 8 on lower Sukhumvit doesn't get too many accolades when it comes to cutting edge bars, but inVite bucks the trend, with a combo of great fusion food, and a fantastic cocktail menu. The GM Keoma Intravaia is a professional "mixsultant," and bar trainer, and he designed the drink menu here. The staff is happy to suggest cocktails that pair with the food, and you'll be wowed by creations like "Saint Barth," which combines chili vodka, passion fruit, and lime, or "Some Like it Strange," which pours premium Hendrick's gin along with Choya umeshu plum wine, lemongrass, Thai cucumber, and ginger beer. A majority of bars across Bangkok never get the Thai-spiced cocktails right, but inVite succeeds on every level. There are craft beers, and the open-air setting makes this a really popular bar and one of the better night spots for chilling and drinking in the neighborhood. They also have ladies nights and other such specials during the week, and host various theme parties on the weekend.
