Ari (BTS Ari, Phahon Yothin Soi 7 and the sois around it) is a residential district whose bar scene grew out of its cafés: small cocktail bars, craft-beer taprooms and a few listening rooms, most closing at midnight or 1am rather than 2. It suits a long evening more than a night out, the crowd is local, and drinks run 180–300 baht (2026, indicative).

What time do bars close in Ari?
2am. Not on the 4am list; most bars here close at midnight or 1am. Of the 76 venues here with hours on Google, 4 list a close of 3am or later anyway, which says something about enforcement, not the law.

BTS Ari is 180 m from the centre of the area (about 3 minutes on foot), BTS Sanam Pao 830 m. BTS Ari; most bars within 10 minutes on foot along Phahon Yothin Soi 7 and its side sois.
What should I wear in Ari?
Anything. Across Bangkok the rule that catches people out is the rooftop door: no shorts, flip-flops or sleeveless shirts at the high-end places.
Run a bar or club in Ari?
Every venue on this page came from Google Maps, which means the hours, the phone number and the photo are whatever Google had on 8 September 2026. Two ways to fix that. The ✓ Verified badge is free: we confirm the listing is real and current, you link to it from your own site or Instagram, and it moves above every unverified venue in these lists. Featured is the paid slot at the top of the scene and area pages, ฿990 a month, sold per page so the number of them stays small.
Sources and verification
- Venues, hours, prices, amenity flags and popular-times histograms: Google Maps, scraped on 8 September 2026 for the central nightlife areas listed above. Outer districts were not part of this pass, so a bar in Bang Na or Lat Phrao is not missing by judgement, it is missing by scope.
- A venue's scene (cocktail bar, live music, open past 2am) is computed from Google's category labels, its amenity flags, its name or its listed hours, never asserted by us; the exact rules are in the site's source, and a venue no rule catches appears only under its area.
- Legal facts checked 8 September 2026: the 4am zones against The Nation, Coconuts and the Bangkok Post; retail hours against the Royal Gazette notice of 28 May 2026; the drinking age against the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act B.E. 2551.
- Ratings shown are Google's and are never marked up as ours; no Google review text is reproduced.
- Area box: longitude 100.53 to 100.552, latitude 13.772 to 13.795; a venue is here because its Google Maps coordinates fall inside, not because of its district column. Back to the nightlife hub.
