Bunker

Cocktail Bar $$$

The Sathorn restaurant-and-cocktail-bar that built its reputation on a 60-bottle American whiskey programme and a chef-driven snack menu.

Bunker sits at 118/2 Sathon 12, six minutes from Saint Louis BTS in central Sathorn. The room opened in 2017 as Arnie Marcella's modern American restaurant-bar and rebuilt itself around a 60-bottle American whiskey programme after the 2022 renovation.

This is the room for a drinker who wants a B380 cocktail and a chef-driven snack on the same bill. Skip it if a rooftop view is the brief, or if the night needs to run past 1am.

Walk in or contact the bar via official channels. For weekend table seating, confirm hours through the bar's site or social pages.

The space runs as a long open kitchen and bar counter under exposed concrete, with a 28-seat dining room on the right and a 12-seat bar counter on the left. BK Magazine's 2023 Sathorn bar guide described the counter as 'the best whiskey perch south of Silom for a solo drinker after work'.

The list runs short and the bar runs it on its own terms. Order from the signatures.

Skip the off-list improvisations on a first visit. The published list is the room's editorial position; the bartenders built every serve to earn its place.

The crowd skews finance and creative professionals from 6pm to 9pm, with the dining room booked solid by 7:30pm most Wednesdays. r/bangkok bar threads consistently flag the 6pm to 7pm window as the best counter walk-in slot.
