Maggie Choo's

Bangkok


A former bank vault with a Chinatown-opium-den vibe, secret passageways and lounging women in silk dresses. With all this going on, it’s easy to forget that Maggie Choo’s is actually a bar, although you'll be reminded by the creative and somewhat sweet cocktails. Drag-queen shows and jazz concerts take place on select days – check the website for more details.
