Siam Bars & Pubs

When not shopping feverishly, Siam's crowds have bars like Siam@ Siam Square and Hard Rock Café to seek refuge and refreshment in.

Bar @ Siam Square

Open: 17:00 - 02:00
Location: Novotel Siam Square on Siam Square
Contact:  +66 (0)2 209 8888
Skytrain: Siam Square

Dark and snazzy, Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square's newest addition has been stylishly crafted to appeal to the after work cocktail crowd, or those looking for traditional pub-style entertainment. Architecturally it's a treat, with sleek comfy furnishings, soft vibrant lighting and modular paneling on ceilings and walls lending the space a sexy futuristic feel. Meanwhile, no less than 13 plasma screens screening wall-to-wall sports, pool tables, arcade games and a pinball machine bring to mind a trendy bachelor pad, though there's a cocktail, wine list and international food menu that should appeal to the girls too. Be sure not to miss the Interactive Happy Hour Game (until 22:00), where after ordering drinks you press a buzzer to try and stop flashing lights as they shine on 'Free' or 'Half Price!'. Afterwards, the wall here slowly disappears, the place merging with Concept CM2: the Novotel's 11-year-strong and still very popular nightclub. Those dining or drinking here get free entry.
