Resembling "a speakeasy in the jungle" according to one critic, the Oriental's Bamboo Bar is as much part of the city's landscape as the Khao San and Pat Pong Road - just with a load more class and sophistication. Legendary for its live jazz since 1946, it's a film noir type setting, a sort of Rick's Café of the Orient, and you half-expect Bogart to wander in with a babe on his arm. The skilled bartender has trained at Harry's Bar in Munich, and makes every spectacular cocktail from the Mai Tai to the martini. Décor is that jungle theme but you'll find leather sofas and plush chairs amongst all the bamboo and palm fronds. Comfortable, classy and sophisticated, make yours a double!"Located in the most beautiful hotel in Bangkok, Bamboo Bar is definitely one of the best bars in Asia. It will appeal to real fans of expertise in mixology as well as to amateur drunkards in search for a romantic and chic place. Classics are made according to the tradition (the Best Martini in Asia!), and all creations are obviously the work of real serious old school bartenders. Superb. The staff is wonderful, discreet but friendly and the atmosphere (think film noir in the jungle) is perfect for a lovely evening with your favorite partner. To top it all, the live Jazz music is top notch."
