Just a Drink, Maybe

Cocktail Bar $$$

Ronnaporn Kanivichaporn's 22-seat counter where every cocktail is built from a Thai dessert memory.

Just a Drink, Maybe (the regulars call it JADM) sits one floor up off Sukhumvit 23, four minutes from Asok BTS. The 22-seat counter opened in 2022 under bartender Ronnaporn 'Nott' Kanivichaporn after his run at Backstage, and the bar made Asia's 50 Best Bars 2024 list at number 87.

This is the room for a drinker who wants a tight, opinionated cocktail list anchored to Thai dessert culture. Skip it if a long beer list or a rooftop view is the brief. The room sits inside a converted shophouse and seats 22 across one counter.

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 single L-shaped counter wrapped around a green-tile back bar, with a small back room for groups of six. The Infatuation's 2024 Bangkok bar guide described the room as 'small enough to feel like a private kitchen, busy enough to feel like a Thonglor Friday'.

Small enough to feel like a private kitchen, busy enough to feel like a Thonglor Friday.

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.
