Coco Walk Ratchathewi BTS, Opposite side of Asia Hotel 086 331 2944
This little joint is what we like to call a restobar. For those of you who are yet to have their caffeine hit for the day, a restobar is generally a restaurant slash bar where you can get a taste of everything from whiskey and beer, som tum and fries, dynamic music and a fun atmosphere. Much like our beloved Pla Dip restaurant down soi Ari, The Tube has an industrial feel with its concrete walls and flooring. The restobar is brought to life with vibrant art that is sprawled throughout. This leaves just enough room to shake your booty.
What makes this spot stick out like a sore thumb is the music that draws a funky crowd of local DJs, artists and funksters. The majority of the pubs and bars in this area play mind numbing pop music and the occasional hip pop tune straight from Top of the Pop’s. A delightful mix of electronic bleeps and beeps, house and indie rock gets revilers swinging and gyrating inside and out. The “Japanese drum and bass chief” (well that’s what we like to call him) presents a menu of basic Thai eats and drinks at reasonable prices.
Because of its size we suggest gathering your friends together and going early during the weekends to acquire a seat. Our only dislike - the music next door occasionally recoils off the concrete wall opposite and bounces into The Tube – This can be a little frustrating. Overall: The Tube is a great little joint for starting your night off on the right foot.
