Ian Kittichai's Mexican-Indian crossover with the most-recommended mezcal programme on Sukhumvit.
Published Jan 13, 2026 Ms. Maria & Mr. Singh is the Sukhumvit project of chef Ian Kittichai, the Bangkok-born chef best known for Issaya Siamese Club. The concept marries Oaxacan mezcal-and-tequila with Punjabi spice and Mumbai street food; the bar runs parallel to the restaurant and is the better seat for most visits. Time Out Bangkok's 2024 cocktail-bar guide called the mezcal programme "the city's most-recommended outside the dedicated Mexican-cantina circuit."
This is the bar for the diner who wants a serious drink without making cocktails the entire occasion. The mezcal flight is the headline. The food is excellent and the bar is positioned for diners who want to eat lightly while drinking seriously. Skip if you came for a quiet date — the room is loud by 9pm and the seating is restaurant-tight.
Walk-in or reserve via the bar's official channels. For groups or to confirm hours, check the bar's site or social pages.
The bar runs along the right wall of the dining room: ten high stools facing a back wall stocked with 70+ mezcal and tequila bottles. The lighting is amber, the music tends toward Latin-soul, and the volume rises with the dinner service. Eater Bangkok's 2024 guide flagged it as "the city's most-recommended bar within a restaurant."
Drinks lean Mexican: mezcal, tequila, tamarind. Order from those families and the bar performs above the price.
Skip the long-format tiki drinks; the bar is built for shorter, spirit-forward serves.
The crowd is Sukhumvit professional and Bangkok food-industry: chefs eat the bar menu after their own shifts, finance regulars from the Wireless Road embassies appear on Thursdays, and expat couples take the dining room. Time Out flagged the room as "the most-recommended weeknight bar on Sukhumvit between Phloen Chit and Thong Lo."
