Bar Us Verified listing

Bar of the Year 2026 (Winner)

From the team behind Messenger Service Bar in Suan Luang, Bar Us is at the forefront of a shift in the city’s cocktail scene, a shift that blurs the line between food and drink. The team behind Messenger Service really hit a nerve in the city when they opened this space on Sukhumvit Soi 26 in 2023. Now, they’re getting the recognition they deserve.

Owners Taln Sudarat Rojanavanich and Aum Veerach Sawaengsupt, both former interior designers, have transformed the space into a modern-day booze laboratory. If you’re all about the vibe of the space, this is where you need to be. Dark wooden tables and strategically placed spotlights accentuate the dimly lit room. It all comes together for a sophisticated yet intimate setting.

With a bar headed by Pongsakorn “Beer” Pongsakorn and Thanat Tangroungsin, the savory cocktails here have seen the brand traveling from Prague to New York, and they’ve been nabbing headlines along the way. Earlier this year, they nabbed No.6 at Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026.

Years from now, we’ll be wondering how Bar Us became a Bangkok institution. The answer is in the glass.

Best Cocktail Bar 2026 (Finalist)

It’s not just the venue and the vibes that make Bar Us the city’s top bar. It’s what’s in the glass. No shortage of spaces opt for mixing the classic with the modern, but Bar Us is singularly unique in their methods for chasing complex flavors with familiar drinks. Take the Caramelized Onion Whisky Sour; caramelized sliced onion is mixed with unsalted butter whiskey and lime for a savory drink that hits all the flavor notes. And, don’t forget, this is a drinking room, so peruse the menu carefully for your starter, main, after, and all-night drinks.
