Bars to Spend Your Sunday Night

Bamblu

171 Sukumvit 63, 02-711-5589. Open Tue- Sun 6pm-1am.
Bamblu in Ekkamai is the newest hot and happening Sunday chill out spot especially if you enjoy live music. The two-story venue has house bands rotating on a weekly basis playing everything from jazz to pop rock music. Be sure to check out the scene on Sunday and return again on Monday night for their open-mic night and don’t forget to grab some yummy food while you’re at it.

Globe

23/F, Centara Grand at CentralWorld, Rama 1 Rd., 02- 100-1234. Open daily 5pm-1am. BTS Siam.
This newly opened earthy toned lounge at the Centara Hotel is a convenient choice for all of you Sunday shoppers. When you’re done walking up and down CentralWorld, head up to Globe and seat yourself on their white beach-like chairs on their patio. Chill out to some easy listening house and order a selection of their special Sunday night “muddling” fruity concoctions.

Sky Beach

Rooftop/F, Fantasia Wedding Center, 582/23-24 Ekkamai Rd., 08-1899-8987. Open Tue-Thu 6pm-2am, Fri-Sun 4pm-late.
It’s like going to beach except you’re hanging out in the middle of Ekkamai. Head over there in your shorts and flip flops, grab a white cushion and make conversation with the European owners with a beer in hand. Get there just before sunset, that way you can enjoy a pretty view as well.

 

Tuba

34 Ekamai Soi 21, Sukhumvit Rd., 02-711-5500. Open daily 11am-midnight.
In the middle of bustling Ekkamai stands chilled out Tuba, which is a three-in-one: gallery, bar and furniture shop. This two-story restaurant serves up good food and a selection of cocktails for a reasonable price. Finish your week in true Sunday style and head there with your groupies for a HBO movie marathon on their big flat screen TV.
