In Partnership with Sarnies Group
January/ February issue ‘Innovator’, 2024
Situated on the fourth and fifth floors of the renowned Sarnies cafe in Sukhumvit, the new cocktail bar F*nkytown stands as a testament to the group’s commitment to redefining Bangkok’s culinary and mixology landscape.
From the moment you step through the doors, F*nkytown invites you on a gastronomic journey with a menu showcasing a symphony of flavours deeply rooted in local and seasonal inspirations. As with all their concepts, Sarnies has crafted an offering from a result of sustainable practices and innovative techniques. The new venture seamlessly marries its creatively curated food selection with signature drinks, promising an immersive experience for the discerning palate.
Under the expert guidance of Pae Ketumarn, Group Beverage Manager celebrated for his tenure at prestigious establishments like Sober Company in Shanghai and The SG Club in Tokyo, F*nkytown introduces a revolutionary funkiness scale ranging from 1 to 5, from which to choose your cocktails. This progressive approach encourages patrons to explore a spectrum of flavours, commencing with the Tokyo Banana (funk level: 2), advancing to the Caesar Salad (funk level: 4), and climaxing with the bold Som Tum drink (funk level: 5). Non-drinkers are not left behind either, as half of F*nkytown’s signature cocktails are ingeniously reimagined as equally spirited mocktails.
Elevating the experience further is F*nkytown’s avant-garde dining program, featuring mouthwatering creations like the Hamachi Crudo Tart and the ever-evolving “Feed Me” experience. Priced at 980 baht per person, “Feed Me” presents a monthly rotation of bite-sized snacks and shareable plates, providing an immersive journey into the heart of F*nkytown’s culinary innovation.
In harmony with its name, F*nkytown ensures an auditory feast with the city’s grooviest beats. Vinyl and digital DJs take centre stage seven nights a week, spinning soul, R&B, 80s disco, and funk to create the perfect backdrop for the culinary adventure.
The fourth floor is open for reservations, while the fifth floor features a rooftop alfresco. To enter this realm of innovation and rhythm, guests need only traverse through Sarnies カフェ Sukhumvit, ascend the stairs, and let F*nkytown weave its magic.
