Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar
Tucked away on the second floor of a building in Bangrak, this intimate cocktail bar has built a strong following among Bangkok's more discerning drinkers. What sets it apart is a creative menu concept — currently in its fourth iteration — where each cocktail is built around a single hero ingredient, resulting in drinks named for flavours like squid, cow, watermelon, banana, and kefir lime. It is the kind of thoughtful, no-gimmicks approach that tends to attract guests who take their cocktails seriously. The atmosphere leans speakeasy: warm lighting, a carefully designed interior, and an intimate scale that makes it well suited for unhurried evenings. Bartenders are noted by visitors for being both professional and genuinely passionate about their craft, happy to talk through the menu rather than simply take an order. Small bites are available alongside the drinks, making it a viable stop for a longer sitting rather than just a quick drink. Good to know: Checking the bar's social media before visiting is advisable to avoid a wasted trip. The venue is on the second floor, so factor that in if mobility is a consideration. Smart casual attire fits the atmosphere well. The Bangrak location is convenient for those already exploring the riverside area or the central business district.

Reviews from Google
My new favourite bar in Bangkok: no gimmicks, just good drinks and friendly mixologists who are passionate about their craft. I love the concept for V4 of their menu, where they pick a single produce (i.e. tamarind) and design a cocktail using various derivatives of that produce—so you get ingredients like tamarind gin mare, tamarind cordial, and tamarind seed tea in their Tamarind cocktail. It showcases nice techniques without going overboard with the flavours. The ambience is excellent—soft lighting with just loud enough jazzy music to fill the room without interrupting conversations. Sitting at the bar, the attentive bartenders never let my water glasses and snack dish get empty. Pity I couldn’t try all of the cocktails I wanted during my visit, so I can only genuinely recommend Tamarind, Banana, and Worm. But I will definitely be back to try Cow (and if they ever bring Duck back, it’s on my list).
Loved this speakeasy. The drinks were unique, tasty, well balanced and some of the best we had in Thailand. We tried 3 cocktails each and had 2 small bites because we wanted to try it all! The atomosphere was great and the staff were helpful in making recommendations to us. Would love to come again the next time I'm in Bangkok. Thank you for a wonderful time!
Ending the day at Mahaniyom for their resourceful cocktail menu. Each drink uses one single ingredient to create the special taste. With cocktails like squid, cow, watermelon, kefir lime, banana, etc. Mahaniyom offers sustainable, forward-thinking cocktails served in a funky, fun and immersive environment. 🍸

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
Carry Your Passport or a Copy
Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.
Know the Closing Times
Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.
Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously
Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
