NIGHTLIFE
Chinatown speakeasy above Potong serving surrealist, concept-driven cocktails.
Reservation Urged
Opium Bar is tucked above restaurant Potong in a historic Chinatown building once associated with the opium trade. The interior is dark, layered, and slightly theatrical, echoing the building’s past without feeling theme-park-ish. Cocktails follow a conceptual “surreal” approach, often pairing unexpected ingredients and striking presentation while staying balanced and enjoyable. It’s an ideal spot either before or after a meal at Potong, or as a destination on a cocktail crawl through Yaowarat.
