While you were down the road at 72 Courtyard, one of Thonglor’s most interesting new openings just popped up in the old Marketplace Thonglor (that’s where Tops and Starbuck’s are). 

 

On the face of it, Warp by Godfather (part of the Water Library group) looks like just another wine shop, but there are some things about that place that should make you take note. 

 

First off, it offers some delicious and affordable Champagne. We’re talking B1,900 for a niche, growers’ label like Goutorbe-Bouillot Brut Rose (take that, Moet!). 

 

Secondly, this is one place where you can avoid the Thonglor nightlife curfew. With tables to sit and drink inside, you can buy bottles at retail price and the management promise they’ll stay open as late as you and your crew want to carry on drinking. 

 

You can even order up food from any of the Marketplace restaurants and have it delivered to your table. Other wines like Bourgoge Chardonnay 2014 (B1,490) and Stephane Aviron Morgon Cote du Py 2014 (B1,650) are also a bargain.
