After a spectacular showing in the recent global rankings, Dry Wave Cocktail Studio is on an unstoppable streak for more achievements, this time sweeping the Bangkok Bar Show Awards & Thailand 20 Best Bars 2025.
Named the best bar in Bangkok and the country, this Thonglor watering hole also received three more major awards: Bar Team of The Year, Menu Design of the Year, and Bartender of The Year for owner Supawit “Palm” Muttarattana.
Bar Us, which was ranked number 4 on the prestigious Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025 list, claimed the second place prize from the Bar Show awards—followed by G.O.D. at number three and Opium at number four. The sustainability-focused Wasteland also received the Best New Bar prize, while F*nkytown was titled Best Restaurant Bar for the second year in a row.
