Winner: Swirl Thonglor

Knocking out Mod Kaew Wine Bar from the top spot after three years, Swirl Thonglor is the kind of Bangkok spot that feels designed for the after-dark crowd. The venue leans into a sleek, contemporary mood without taking itself too seriously. While the wine list is the first thing on everyone’s mind, don’t forget to check out the menu here for playful spins on classic flavors. This is a space that switches seamlessly from a dinner space to a nightlife space.  

Mod Kaew Wine Bar

A long-time favorite of every wine drinker in the city, Mod Kaew Wine Bar had a revolutionary idea: What if drinking wine was actually fun? The venue has long been a wine bar for everyone. This is reflected in the list, which varies from some of the best low-intervention wines available in Bangkok to a selection of Spanish and French wines, including many difficult-to-find labels. 

Must Wine Bar

Across more than 500 labels, the key to enjoying a night at Must Wine Bar is to check out their wine flights — an interesting way to check out some of your favorite labels with a theme. With a selection of bar bites and bigger dishes, this is an ideal spot to settle down with a big group of friends, and regular patrons should keep an eye out for fun collaborations or special trivia nights. 

The Wine Merchant (Silom)

Now, a lot of people don’t really consider the Wine Merchant when they think of a place to drink — more of a place to stock up. But ever since they opened their Park Silom location in 2024, that idea is changing. Yes, this is still a space for your average wine lover to pick up some bottles, but you’ll find some of the best bottles in Bangkok alongside dining and pairing options. It may not be open late, but it’s a must try. 

No Bar Wine Bar 

It doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be good. Founded by two wine enthusiasts, this is the go-to spot in Ari-Sanam Pao for serious wine drinkers who love to explore new natural wines — they have a rotating selection of around 150 labels. Natty wines are the real show pony here, and the space is designed for good conversation and good wine together. You’ll find an intimate space that prioritizes small-scale producers worldwide.
