Dok Kaew House Bar

Tucked away in this old Thai house, the craft beer selection here kept me happily sipping all night—and the staff actually let me taste a few before committing, which is a win in my book. The vibe’s super chill, even if it does get a bit warm without AC.

This bar has a charming 1960s ambiance and is perfect for those who love craft beer and Northern Thai cuisine. The old house setting, complete with a nice porch and live music on certain nights, adds to its unique appeal. While the self-service setup is convenient, the hot weather can be uncomfortable, so dress appropriately. The lack of parking is a minor inconvenience, but taxis are a good alternative.

Dok Kaew House Bar is a hidden gem in Phaya Thai, offering a cozy, home-like atmosphere in an old Thai house. The craft beer selection is impressive, featuring many imported options, and the food is fantastic with standout dishes like grilled beef and pork hanglay curry. The staff is friendly, and the prices are reasonable, making it a great spot to unwind. However, the location is a bit off the beaten path, and mosquitoes can be an issue, so come prepared.

I loved the selection of craft beers and the delicious food at Dok Kaew House Bar. The Asian tapas and vegetable dip were particularly memorable. The bar has a homely feel, especially with the wooden house setting and live music on Fridays. The only downside was that the beers were not cold enough for my liking, but overall, it's a fantastic place to visit.
