Nestled in the heart of Bangkok's vibrant Chinatown, **Barbon** is a hidden gem that beckons those seeking a unique bar experience. Located at 1222/1 Songward Road, this bar offers a cozy atmosphere where the hustle and bustle of the city fades away, allowing for intimate conversations and memorable moments. As you step through the narrow corridor leading to the bar, anticipation builds, hinting at the intriguing ambiance that awaits.

At Barbon, the drink menu is a delightful exploration of flavors. Two standout offerings include the **signature sake cocktail** infused with lychee syrup, which transforms the traditional Japanese spirit into a refreshing delight that even non-sake drinkers will adore. Another must-try is the classic **negroni**, expertly crafted to balance bitterness and sweetness, making it the perfect companion for a relaxing evening.

This place is perfect for people who don't like a crowded place nor loud music. I enjoyed spending my time there with my partner as we could actually talk to each other without yelling.

I ordered 2 drinks and they were absolutely amazing. I can't remember what's mine but it was a signature drink with the word 'clear' in it. It was made of sake and lychee syrup I believe. I've never been a fan of sake but this drink converted me 🩷

There is a balcony for outdoor seating but it was quite dark and I couldn't really see anything. It is also a smoking spot and I'm not smoking so I'm not really a fan of this bit of the place.

Barbon, located on Song Wat Road in Bangkok’s Chinatown, is a bar that promises intrigue but delivers disappointment. The entrance—via a narrow corridor and concrete staircase—hints at a hidden gem, but the reality falls short. Atop the stairs, you’re met with a terrace overlooking the Chao Phraya River, yet the view is shrouded in darkness and fails to captivate. The seating, primarily bean bags scattered on the floor, lacks charm and comfort, making it difficult to appreciate any potential allure of the setting.

Service was lacklustre; the bar was eerily empty for a Thursday night, and the bartender seemed indifferent at best. Orders had to be placed at the counter, which felt transactional rather than inviting. While the beer menu was appealing, featuring a good selection of IPAs, the overall experience was far from enjoyable.

Cleanliness was mixed—while the indoor bar area was tidy, the terrace was untidy, with empty bottles and sticky counters detracting from the experience. The atmosphere was non-existent, with no music, harsh yellow lighting, and an overwhelming smell of weed creating an uncomfortable vibe.

Despite being conveniently located near Wat Mangkon MRT station, Barbon fails to justify a visit. The pricing of drinks is reasonable, but the lack of ambiance, poor service, and underwhelming environment mean there’s little value for money. Sadly, this is not a place I’d revisit or recommend to others. Barbon, for all its potential, misses the mark.

A nice, quite hidden, cozy bar near the river. Nice view and chill. Definitely come here at night to enjoy the view of the cruise

I was a hostel guest wanted to explore the bar. I was interested in a beer tab which appeared to be the last kind available. So, I asked the staff how it tasted. He said it tasted just like a kind of craft beer. I didn’t find it quite helpful as each kind of craft beer tastes different. I thought he was also not sure how to explain the taste of something. Maybe he had not tried it yet, so he didn’t know. But I believe there may be some other way to respond to customers differently and more welcomingly to not lose them.
