About Ba hao 八號

Slip past the noise of Yaowarat into Soi Nana—Ba hao trades street chaos for dim red lighting, vintage wood, and Chinese bar bites. Chinatown regulars grab counter stools to trade banter with bartender Pun while duck wontons arrive slick with chili sesame oil. Rich braised pork belly tucks into soft steamed buns, paired alongside crisp tofu crackers with tart Asian pear salsa. Behind the bar, house pours showcase local herbal infusions like yadong, running drinks until midnight while the kitchen keeps cooking late into the evening.

  • Cinematic Shophouse Aesthetic: A restored Chinatown shophouse cloaked in dim red light, offering quiet intimacy away from the neighborhood bustle.
  • Inventive Small Plates: Taiwanese-inspired small plates like chili sesame duck wontons, braised pork belly mantou, and pear salsa tofu crackers.
  • Botanical & Asian Spirits: Craft drinks spotlight regional profiles and Chinese infusions alongside spirits like herbal yadong, helmed by bartender Pun.
  • Intimate Counter & Patio: A compact downstairs bar and sidewalk seating that fill fast from early evening until midnight.

Why guests choose this Soi Nana shophouse for memorable cocktails and small plates—reserve your table in advance to secure your spot.

  • Atmospheric Shophouse Immersion

    Behind an unassuming entrance on Soi Nana, Ba hao creates a transportive mood with dim crimson illumination and preserved heritage shophouse architecture.

    Inside it is all dim red light and old shophouse bones, the kind of room that makes you lower your voice without meaning to.

  • Inventive Asian Spirit & Flavor Pairings

    The bar showcases thoughtfully composed Asian-forward craft cocktails incorporating regional spirits like Baijiu, balanced alongside vegetarian and Chinese tapas plates.

    They serve drinks that are carefully crafted and not gimmicky. They even had Baijiu, which is one of my favorite spirits, and vegetarian options on the menu.
