About Root Bar

Hidden behind a magazine rack in Lat Phrao, this moody den trades menus for bespoke, mood-led mixology. You set the flavor brief—the bartender shakes up a custom pour over carved ice. Regulars drop in solo without a second thought, trading banter over complimentary welcome drinks while recipes take shape from scratch. The night moves at your pace, winding down with custom concoctions explained glass by glass until 2 am.

  • Concealed Entrance: Guests enter past a magazine rack into an intimate speakeasy hideaway.
  • Bespoke Mixology: Bartenders skip printed menus, tailoring custom drinks to your stated mood and spirit preferences.
  • Solo-Friendly Bar: Warm staff offer welcome pours and friendly conversation for guests arriving solo.
