Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar

Why we love Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar

Hiding from public eyes, Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar is tucked inside nose-to-tale restaurant 100 Mahaseth's second floor on Mahaseth Road in Sripraya district.

As you ascend the stairs to the second floor, a bright and colourful neon light of a two-headed tiger greets you at the entrance to the bar. The bar interior is eclectic with traditional Thai elements and 70s Thai style. Somehow it could remind some people of Marrakesh Bazaar due to the clash of vibrant and earth tones.

Ronnaporn "Neung/Ronny" Kanivichaporn and Chennarong "Janz" Bhumichitr, the duo behind Backstage Cocktail Bar, Find the Locker Room and Find the Photo Booth joined forces with Founders of 100 Mahaseth, Chef Chalee Kader, Chef Randy Noprapa and Nichapa Mungpien, to open this bar.

Teasing with the restaurant's concept, Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar serves root-to-leaf cocktails, making it the first root-to-tale cocktail bar in Thailand.

What to Order at Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar

Let's start with something refreshing like "Pineapple". This drink is a gin-based cocktail mixed with vermouth, pineapple tepache, green pepper and pineapple cordial, pineapple leaf and soda. This sweet and sour drink with a bubbly mouthfeel could rule many drinkers' hearts.

The brandy-based Cow is a complicated drink. The brandy is fat washed with jasmine Wagyu beef fat and brown butter, mixed with a milk-clarified concoction of red wine, miso, palm sugar and mulberry, and served with a spoon full of blue cheese foam. This drink is a liquidised steak, and it will make both blue cheese lovers and haters scream, "Wow!"

Other than delectable cocktails, the bar food is nothing but exquisite. Of course, it is made by the same kitchen team from 100 Mahaseth, so what else do you expect?

The bar food is Chef Chalee's interpretation of Thai Northern street food and snacks, Khang Pong, Jhin Thoob etc.

Khan Pong is a food of the Tai Yai tribe that lives in Burma and Thailand's Northern part. Chef Chalee uses young papaya and slices it thinly before deep-frying it in hot oil. It comes in a mimic McDonald's french fry packaging with spicy house made sauce. With this snack, you can't stop yourself from eating it.
