From its humble beginnings in 1953 in what is now Khun Ankana’s Study in the heart of the hotel’s renowned Authors’ Wing, the Bamboo Bar has grown in status and reputation to become a renowned Bangkok institution frequented by jazz lovers and A-listers from around the world, as well as Thailand’s high society, who appreciate its distinguished décor and seductive glamour.

The beverage and spirits concept has been created by Mandarin Oriental’s award winning mixologist team, with Bamboo Bar Originals retaining their Signature status on the cocktail list along with classics mixed according to their original recipes. The Bamboo Bar’s new cocktail menu ‘a Capella’ – the term for singing without the use of background music or band. By using this name, the Bamboo Bar is seeking to introduce guests to the history of jazz legends not only through music but also through cocktails.

The Bamboo Bar adheres to a smart dress code for all guests. Ladies are kindly asked to wear elegant attire and proper footwear. Gentlemen are kindly asked to wear smart shirt, long trousers and closed shoes.
