Independence Cocktail Bar — Restaurant in Pom Prap Subdistrict

Went here since PP, the bartender from TOT recommended this place cuz it closes at 2am, and TOT was closing at 1am. My partner and I still wanted our cocktail fix since it was our last full night in Bangkok, so to Independence Bar we want.

Before that night I've never heard of E-sarn/Issan region in Thailand but after that we are now EDUCATED - or maybe just a little bit hahaha.

It's one of those times when as the bar nears its closing time, it experiences a "lull" so the customers leave and the orders coming in gets less and less and I think that's when the bartenders let loose and are free to talk hahah. (Of course make sure to be sitting at the bar instead of the tables for this to happen).

This guy bartender called Bank/Joy explained to us all about their drinks and apart from getting surprised at how strong Issan rum is, we were also surprised to know he's only been working there for 3 months, and as his first job too, and already it seems like he knows the ropes already too well!!

In the last hour that we had until they closed, we got offered free popcorn and popcorn refills, free clear soup (which felt like the kind of soup you would have in the morning trying to nurse a hangover), free Issan rum tasting, and bought 4x E-sarn region inspired cocktails (shoutout to the Baksida Punch and Bakmo Punch cuz we like our drinks tangy).

Due to Bank's salesman skills, we also bought a bottle of Issan Rum to add to our mini home bar.

What a fun one hour we spent there and the only thing I didnt like during our time there is the fact that they close at 2am when I think that's when the fun actually starts 😆 i also didnt like that we were flying home the next day so we will definitely be...

Bar 9/12 on our bar hopping trip tonight!

We walked into this place and asked how late they stayed open til and it was 2am so we decided to hit a few other bars on the area before we came back to this one!

I really like the space vibes here they also have a room here where you can go inside and smoke 💨 weed which is surrounded by bars and lights you can see in the photos!

Soaking to the bartender we discovered the name Independence pays homage to the U.S. Independence Day, and the decor is inspired by New York Dive Bars with plenty of artistic graffiti.

I would definitely come back here again and highly recommend this place as a late night bar to hang out PLUS bonus is they give complimentary popcorn 🍿 to boot! 🥾

Highly recommend to check this place out!!

A scam! 343 euros ( 12920 baths ) for two cocktails ans four tequila azul shot! Monday evening at the independence bar, no customers, we had visited the other bars in the group before, we order two cocktails, and 4 shots of my favorite tequila. I know the prices I drink her regularly in Paris or New York. the waitress tells me it's expensive with average English and loud music. I say ok I know the product and the prices, I pay by card without paying attention to the bill. the next day surprise 343 euros debit on my card. I write an email, I am told that they have nothing to reproach themselves with, these are standard prices. that the staff did their job and that there are no language or communication problems. ok I hear, 3000 thai baths the shot (not the beautifull glass in which a luxury bar would serve a superior alcohol product) we are talking about a classic shot, at 78 euros! the manager tells me that words are strong when I talk about fraud. What do...
