About The Bar Vagabond

Hidden inside a quiet residential house in Ekkamai, this Tokyo-style cocktail den pairs hand-carved ice and bespoke pours with steaming bowls of ramen. Wall-to-wall shelves house rare whiskies, while low-slung jazz sets a relaxed tempo across the room. Regulars head straight for the bar counter to request tailored omakase drinks shaped on the fly, or settle in with a balanced Clover Club. Between pours, the kitchen sends out plump oysters, grilled skewers, and rich bowls of hot noodle soup with clean fish broth late into the night.

  • Bespoke & Classic Mixology: Bartenders build bespoke drinks to match your mood alongside meticulously balanced classics with hand-carved ice.
  • Residential Speakeasy Den: Concealed inside a residential alley home, the space delivers quiet jazz and a cozy Tokyo speakeasy aesthetic.
  • Late-Night Ramen & Fare: Full bowls of clean fish-broth ramen, hot dogs, and plump oysters share the menu with rare whiskies until late.

  • Precision Ice Craftsmanship

    Each drink receives meticulous craftsmanship, down to custom hand-cut ice tailored specifically to preserve balance and temperature.

Before you head over

Practical advice on finding, accessing, and enjoying this tucked-away Japanese speakeasy

  • Arrive by Taxi Instead of Driving

    On-site parking is extremely limited to roughly two spots that block each other, so taking a taxi or rideshare is strongly recommended.

  • Spotting the Residential House Entrance

    The speakeasy is tucked away in a residential house off Ekkamai Soi 1 without prominent signage, so keep an eye out for a domestic home entrance.

  • Reserve in Advance to Guarantee Seating

    Because seating is intimate and seats fill up, advance reservations are recommended to ensure you can get a table or bar spot without being turned away.
