NANA' Cocktail Bar
Tucked along Thanon Maitri Chit in the Pom Prap district of central Bangkok, this cocktail bar has built a loyal following among both locals and travellers for its craft-focused approach to drinks. The mixologist brings genuine precision to each cocktail, and the Japanese-themed interior gives the space a distinct character that sets it apart from the more generic bars found elsewhere in the city. Evenings here tend to feature live music — typically a guitarist or small band playing laid-back sets — which adds to the relaxed but considered atmosphere. The crowd skews towards those who appreciate quality over volume, making it a welcome alternative to the intensity of Bangkok's larger nightlife districts. Bar-hoppers in the area often end the night here, a pattern that speaks to the venue's consistent pull. Staff are noted as particularly friendly and approachable. Good to know: The bar does not serve food, so it is worth eating elsewhere before arriving. Opening hours and pricing are not listed online, so checking ahead before visiting with a group is advisable. The Pom Prap location is reasonably central and can be combined with dinner in the surrounding area before heading over for drinks later in the evening.

Visitor Reviews
Although we didn’t order any cocktails, we saw some being served, and they all looked delicious — clearly made with care and great attention to detail. The guy at the counter was super friendly, and he also spoke English very well, which was a big plus. One of Nana’s strongest points is definitely the location: cozy, inviting, and with a rooftop that offers a stunning view over the city. We've been to Nana several times now, and every visit has been a great experience. The atmosphere is always welcoming, and the quality is consistently high. We really enjoyed our time at Nana’s, and we’ll definitely be coming back again!
There’s a saying that everyone who goes bar hopping in Nana ends up at this place. I believe it’s due to the owner’s understanding of the scene. This place has a different vibe; if you’re not stepping inside, you might not understand. See you again soon .
Although they didn't have any food, this place serves one of the most amazing cocktails you can have. Their mixologist is a perfectionist and made our drinks with immaculate precision and craft. I'd visit this place again 10/10.
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.
