About Dry Wave Cocktail Studio

Up a courtyard staircase off Soi Thong Lo 13, Dry Wave Cocktail Studio builds each drink by colliding two classic cocktail blueprints. Bangkok regulars point to this second-floor room, freshly named Thailand’s Best Bar. The space stays shadowy and relaxed—the menu charting flavor waves along a Venn diagram of bitter, smoky, and floral notes cut with Thai botanicals. Glasses land with intention: the Morning Tijuana fuses a Division Bell with a Breakfast Martini, while The Bright Side crosses a Cosmo with a White Negroni, served with lychee and watermelon sorbet. Bartenders walk guests through the flavor matrix at an unhurried, easy pace.

  • Award-Winning Pedigree: Named Thailand's Best Bar and ranked No. 4 on Asia's 50 Best Bars list.
  • Flavor Wave Matrix: Visual infographics map each drink across intersecting flavor waves from herbaceous to smoky.
  • Hybrid Classic Cocktails: Signature drinks fuse two cocktail recipes into one, like the Morning Tijuana combining a Division Bell and Breakfast Martini.
  • Second-Floor Courtyard Setting: A discreet second-floor space accessed via courtyard stairs, complete with counter seating and an outdoor patio.

Why Choose Dry Wave Cocktail Studio

Discover why Bangkok's premier cocktail salon commands international acclaim—reserve your table early to guarantee your evening.

  • Hybrid 'Cocktail of Cocktails' Concept

    Rather than serving single-profile classics, the menu cross-breeds pairs of iconic cocktails into inventive hybrid creations like the Morning Tijuana.

    The ongoing cocktail menu is basically a “cocktail of cocktails” menu, where each drink is some combination of two classic cocktails.

  • Venn Diagram Flavour Matrix

    Drinks are mapped across circular flavour waves and Venn diagrams, making it intuitive to explore overlapping profiles from herbaceous to smoky.

    the whole concept of the bar revolves around different “waves” of flavour — citrusy, fruity, bitter, herbaceous, nutty, smoky, woody and floral — illustrated in circles on the menu.

  • Secluded Speakeasy Arrival

    Hidden away in a Thonglor courtyard and reached by a spiral staircase, the second-floor studio delivers an exclusive, tucked-away speakeasy vibe.

    kinda hidden where you have to walk up a spiral staircase to the second floor, cozy and relaxing environment.

  • Intimate, Low-Lit Room Design

    The compact room combines focused bar seating and ambient lighting for an unhurried, stylish retreat away from Thonglor's bustling streets.

    The space is compact but well designed—shadowy, chill, and relaxed.

  • Orange to Red

    orange to red reminded me of a mix between a garibaldi and a clover club — bright and refreshing but with a bit more depth.

Before you head over

Insider advice on timing, seating, and navigating the menu—reserve ahead to experience Bangkok’s top cocktail studio.

  • Reserve your table in advance

    The lounge fills immediately from opening at 7 PM and sees sustained weekday crowds. Secure a reservation well ahead of time to bypass lengthy courtyard waits or tightly restricted turnaround times.

  • Opt for seats at the bar counter

    Low lounge couches can feel tight during peak service. Request counter seating upon arrival for a more comfortable, breathable vantage where you can watch the bartenders craft each round.

  • Consult staff on the flavor matrix

    The menu organizes cocktails into Venn diagrams mapping dual-classic mashups across complex flavor waves. Chat with the bartenders for tailored recommendations aligned with your preferred spirit and flavor profile. Book your evening in advance to secure an unhurried seat.
