Craft beer bars and taprooms in Bangkok

Cesar RodriguezBy Cesar RodriguezUpdated

Brewpubs, taprooms and bottle-shop bars, and why a pint of the local craft costs what it does.

91 craft beer tracked · 90 rated, averaging 4.6 across 42,302 Google reviews · 84 with listed hours, 3 of them running past 2am · 19 with Google popular-times data. Google Maps data from 8 September 2026.

See these 91 on the map

Craft beer is expensive in Thailand for a policy reason: excise and import duties on beer are high, and until the licensing rules were loosened in late 2022 a small brewery could not legally operate, which is why many Thai-branded craft beers are still brewed in Vietnam, Cambodia or Australia and shipped back. In a bar, expect 250–450 baht for an imported or 'Thai' craft pint against 90–150 for a Thai lager (2026, indicative). The taprooms cluster around Sukhumvit Soi 22–26, Ekkamai, Phra Khanong and Ari, and several double as bottle shops with a corkage-free fridge.

  • Prices on a taproom board are usually per 330 ml or per pint; ask which, because the difference is a third.
  • Retail sales run 11am to midnight (rule of 29 May 2026); bottle shops attached to a bar follow the bar's licence for drinking in.

The rules, checked 8 September 2026

  • Bars and clubs close at 2am, except in three Bangkok zones licensed to 4am: Silom–Patpong, RCA with New Phetchaburi Road, and Ratchadaphisek Road.
  • The drinking age is 20, for Thais and foreigners alike.
  • Shops, supermarkets and convenience stores sell alcohol from 11am to midnight every day.

48 of 91 shown: featured and Verified listings first, then by rating weighted for how many reviews it rests on. The full list, paginated, is in the directory

Frequently asked questions

How many craft beer does this list cover in Bangkok?

91 venues, taken from Google Maps on 8 September 2026 across the central nightlife areas; 90 of them are rated, averaging 4.6 across 42,302 Google reviews. Venues are here because Google's category, its amenity flags or its listed hours match the scene, not because we chose them, so a bar that files itself as a restaurant is not in this list.

Which area has the most craft beer?

Nana & Sukhumvit Soi 11 (12), Thonglor & Ekkamai (5) and Silom, Patpong & Sathorn (5) hold the most of this list. Not on the 4am list, whatever the promoters say.

What time do Bangkok craft beer close?

The legal close is 2am outside the three 4am zones (Silom–Patpong, RCA and Ratchadaphisek). Of the 84 venues here with hours on Google, 3 list a close of 3am or later on at least one night, which reflects what the venue says rather than what its licence says.

How much do craft beer in Bangkok cost?

29 of the 91 craft beer carry a Google price band; the median band works out around ฿700 a head, which is Google's per-person figure rather than a drink price. Prices on a taproom board are usually per 330 ml or per pint; ask which, because the difference is a third.

When do Bangkok craft beer get busy?

19 of the 91 venues carry Google popular-times data, and the quietest and busiest windows for that set are shown above, weekdays against weekends. The crowd calendar page for clubs and bars has the full weekly heatmap.

Run a bar or club in Bangkok (craft beer)?

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: you confirm your details, we check the listing is real and current, and it moves above every unverified venue in these lists. Featured is the paid slot at the top of the scene and area pages, 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.
  • Scene rule for this page: Google category labels Brewpub, Brewery, Taproom, Beer hall, Craft beer bar; a name pattern. Back to the nightlife hub.
