Award-winning cocktail bar at Four Seasons Bangkok, channelling golden-age Buenos Aires with Latin-leaning drinks, cigars and a lush courtyard.
BKK Social Club is where Four Seasons Bangkok turns from hotel into a bar destination of its own. Inside, brass, mirrors and deep green plants set a golden-age tone; outside, a semi-open courtyard waits for cigars and long conversations. It feels like a love letter to classic cocktail culture, just relocated to the banks of the Chao Phraya.
The idea behind BKK Social Club is a dialogue between Buenos Aires and Bangkok – two river cities that love late nights. You enter through a corridor lined with bottles, then step into a tall, arch-framed bar room with a glowing mirrored backbar and warm golden light.
Sofas and low tables fill with a mix of hotel guests and Bangkok locals settling in for the evening. The soundtrack has a smooth, confident tempo: enough energy to set the mood, but never so loud that it kills conversation. If you step outside, the courtyard feels like a secret garden – leafy, softly lit and perfect for cigars while the bar keeps shaking drinks inside.
The menu leans into Latin American flavours: plenty of tequila, mezcal and rum, bright citrus, bitters and well-judged sweetness. Signature cocktails like La Capilla or Carretera show how precisely the team works – layered, complex, yet easy to drink.
Alongside the drinks, there is a tight list of elevated bar dishes: hamachi ceviche, guacamole, tartare and other plates that feel closer to a modern Latin restaurant than classic bar snacks. In the courtyard you’ll find a dedicated cigar selection, and the service sits in true Four Seasons mode – attentive, relaxed, and very good at reading whether you want guidance or to be left in peace. Awards from Asia’s 50 Best Bars and The World’s 50 Best Bars confirm that this is far more than just a hotel bar; it’s a standalone destination.
