Bangkok Day Drinking Restaurants Ranking
We’ve created a restaurant ranking for “Bangkok Day Drinking,” a topic likely in high demand among expats in Bangkok. Restaurants offering affordable and casual drinking, happy hours from midday, and options for solo drinkers have been included. We hope this serves as a useful guide!
About the Ranking and Scores
For the Bangkok restaurants we’ve actually visited, this blog records reviews based on factors such as food, drinks, atmosphere, cost performance, customer service, and more. The scores provided with each review indicate the “restaurant’s recommendation level.” We assign scores in a similar manner to Japan’s restaurant review site, Tabelog (Japan’s top restaurant-review site).
For more details, please see “Bangkok Recommended Restaurant Ranking“.
Now, let’s announce the ranking!
1. Jupiter Samrong (Phra Khanong, Myanmar Cuisine, 3.6 points)
A Myanmar restaurant located one street behind Phra Khanong Market. Perhaps due to its location in Phra Khanong, you can enjoy delicious food and beer at very affordable prices compared to areas like Phrom Phong or Thonglor. We recommend the “Tea Leaf Salad.” They also offer Indian and Thai dishes. A large bottle of beer is 70B.

The weekend-only lunch and happy hour are perfect for day drinking. The weekend lunch menu offers six options: Tatsuta-age Lunch, Chicken Nanban Lunch, Chicken & Shrimp Chili-style Lunch, Oyakodon Lunch, Tori Soba Lunch, and Chicken Zosui Lunch, all priced at 200B.

3. The Old English Pub (Thonglor, Pub & Bar, 3.4 points)
The wonderful thing about The Old English Pub is its daily happy hour from 8 AM to 7 PM! While LEO pints increase in price stepwise depending on the time, the cheapest option is a mere 45B! Many drinks are included in the happy hour, and when I get tired of LEO, I order a Mojito (99B). It’s perfect for morning drinks, afternoon drinks, or evening drinks. You can enjoy Western and Thai cuisine.

Chicken Kay is an izakaya offering great value with its Senbero set and all-you-can-drink course! The Senbero set costs 300B and includes 2 drinks and 3 dishes. The all-you-can-drink course is 900B for 2 hours of unlimited drinks and 5 dishes. The menu features both izakaya-style dishes and Thai cuisine, all of which are delicious.

5. Ebisushoten (Thonglor & others, Izakaya, 3.3 points)
Ebisushoten was the first day drinking spot I visited after arriving in Bangkok. I’ve made good use of their Senbero set. For 300B, you get 2 drinks, a choice of Kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) or Beef Tataki, Tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), and edamame. They also offer frequent promotions such as a happy hour with drinks starting from 55B+ from midday, and “Double Digit Kushikatsu Day” (half-price kushikatsu). With convenient locations in Thonglor, Phrom Phong, Phra Khanong, and Nana, it’s very accessible.

6. Laxmi (Phra Khanong, Myanmar Cuisine, 3.3 points)
Like “Jupiter Samrong” above, this is a Myanmar restaurant located within Phra Khanong Market. It’s a great alternative when Jupiter Samrong is crowded. Beer is also priced for Phra Khanong, with a large bottle costing 79B.

7. Ichikara Ramen Izakaya (Phra Khanong, Ramen Izakaya, 3.3 points)
At Ichikara Ramen Izakaya, you can enjoy happy hour and day drinking with a wide variety of appetizers. They even offer ramen for the perfect end to your meal. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a haven for drinkers. Their Jiro-style ramen is a faithful recreation, especially the “Ichikara StaMan Marutoku Jiro Ramen,” which is packed with toppings and can serve as both an appetizer and a finishing dish. Their happy hour runs on weekdays from midday, with highballs at 39B and draft beer at 59B.

All lunch sets are priced at 129B+, which is incredibly cheap, similar to food court prices. There were 8 types of lunch options. They come as a “main dish with rice” or “donburi bowl with soup,” and include free-refill kimchi. You can also pair this with their happy hour “Asahi Draft Beer B1G1 119B+” and drink from 12 PM to 5 PM.
