Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find the entrance?
The bar is hidden inside an old residential house in Ekkamai Soi 1 without prominent street signage, located on an upper floor/den space that feels like a private residence from the outside.
Can you get food alongside drinks?
Alongside cocktails, the bar serves substantial hot dishes like signature fish-broth ramen and hot dogs, as well as pasta and small bites.
Can you order custom or off-menu cocktails?
Yes. Beyond house signatures like Before the Rain, Sakura Whisper, and Negrumoni, the bartenders prepare off-menu and omakase drinks tailored to your taste and mood.
Should you make a reservation in advance?
While walk-ins may find space, advance reservations are recommended as seating is limited in the intimate speakeasy space and tables can fill quickly.
Is parking available on-site?
On-site parking is extremely limited to only a couple of spots that can easily block each other, so arriving by taxi or rideshare is strongly advised.
