After all the awards, the booze, the food, and a bit of dancing, the BAD Awards 2026 were the biggest ever: 18 winners, 72 finalists. So, now what? Well, you drink, that’s what.
This year, we created the BAD Awards Directory, a one-stop resource to find all the best bars in the city from this year’s BAD Awards.
Here's how it works. You click on the BAD Awards Directory. And, well, that's pretty much it. We needed to design something that drunk people could use, and this is as easy as it gets.
It's a giant map of the 80 best bars in the city. You can sort by category (like best cocktails or best wine bar) or you can search by neighborhood. Check out what's hot near you. Design your local pub crawl or just check in when you're looking for your next hang. Use it to find bar social media, locations, and menu must-haves.
Use the directory to find the bars, pubs, and clubs nearest in your neighborhood — all voted on by the journalists, influencers, and bar hoppers in Bangkok. The BAD Awards, the city’s first nightlife awards, is an annual celebration of the best nightlife city in Asia, and this year, we want to get you in on the fun.
Whether you want the best live music bars and the best beer, looking for the best spots from the Riverside to Onnut, or you just want the best there is: We got you.
Watch this space, because we’ll be updating it throughout the year with new information from winners and new contenders.
