During my trip in 2019 to Thailand’s buzzing capital, I had the chance to explore a hidden gem — Playroom Bangkok. I was brought there by a local friend as part of a surprise night out, and to be honest, at first I wasn’t sure what to expect. The entrance felt a little sketchy, tucked away in a low-key building off Sukhumvit 63. But the moment we stepped inside, everything changed.
Playroom Bangkok instantly transported me into a completely different world — rich, moody, and fantastically designed. From the moment we walked in, I could tell this wasn’t just another cocktail bar. The atmosphere was electric, luxurious, and playfully mysterious. It felt like stepping into a glamorous movie scene — part speakeasy, part fantasy lounge.
We sat down for a few drinks, and I have to say, the bartenders were not only friendly and welcoming, but also seriously talented. Every cocktail was crafted with care and flair, and it quickly became clear that Playroom Bangkok is a place that takes its drinks seriously.
A Russian-Inspired Fantasy in the Heart of Bangkok
What sets Playroom Bangkok apart is its unique Russian-style interior, inspired by the sleek, provocative aesthetics of Fifty Shades of Grey. Designed by the visionary team at Paradigm Shift — also known for Crimson Room and Rabbit Hole — the space combines rich red velvets, gold trims, black accents, and sensual lighting. The result is a sultry, high-end setting that feels luxurious without being over the top.
From its curved ceiling to intricate details like leather belt decor in the cigar room, every inch of Playroom Bangkok is made to surprise and delight. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to dress up, lean in, and stay late.
Cocktails That Steal the Show
The cocktail menu is one of the major highlights at Playroom Bangkok. You’ll find 10 bold and imaginative signature drinks, each with a name and flavor profile that leans into the venue’s flirtatious theme:
Mr. Grey – A smoky-sweet mix of bourbon, mezcal, yuzu, honey, and cranberry.
Black & Gold
Red Light District
Mrs. Robinson
First Date
Porn Star Martini #2 – A fruity, frothy favorite with passion fruit, vodka, lychee, and lime.
Eggsy
Scott & Zelda Fitzgerald
Sitting On The Thorn
Manhattan Transfer
In 2022, Playroom Bangkok unveiled “Chapter 2” of their cocktail series, introducing even more playful drinks like One Night Stand, Miss Steele, and Orgy Island — each just as creative and cheeky as they sound.
Beyond cocktails, the bar is also known for its impressive range of champagnes and rare whiskeys — some bottles so exclusive they’re nearly impossible to find elsewhere in Bangkok.
Private Cigar Room and Jazz Nights
For those who enjoy cigars, Playroom Bangkok offers a beautifully designed private cigar room featuring over 15 premium cigar options. The vibe in this space is more intimate, lined with dark woods and leather — perfect for unwinding in style.
The soundtrack of the night often includes smooth jazz, either from vintage vinyl records or live performances. It adds a classy touch that perfectly complements the mood of the bar, especially if you’re looking for a chill-out spot with sophistication.
Private Parties and Exclusive Events
Whether you’re planning a romantic evening, a stylish get-together with friends, or a private celebration, Playroom Bangkok offers private rooms that can be reserved for groups. The team is welcoming and flexible, making sure your night feels special.
