Beast & Butter : Burgers & Beers (Thong Lo)
270 Thong Lo, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, Bangkok 10110
Worth a trip for the beer programme alone: eight taps pouring Italian lager through English IPA at THB 250 to THB 350 per pint is a solid range for a burger bar. The kitchen operates on a philosophy of simple things done right, with housemade pickles, freshly baked buns, and organic vegetables built into every order. The Grab Thumbs Up Awards 2024 recognised it as Best Specialty Burger in Bangkok.
You spot the building before you reach it: a narrow, bright yellow shophouse on Soi Thonglor 10 that carries the same colour signature as the Chiang Mai food truck that started everything. Beast and Butter came out of Nimmanhaemin Road, where the brand began as a small food truck before evolving into an open-air bistro. The Bangkok move brought it into one of the city's most competitive dining strips, and the format arrived intact.
The kitchen's guiding principle is simple things done right. That translates into housemade pickles, freshly baked buns, and organic vegetables across the burger range. The Ultimate Cheeseburger and Bacon Mushroom Burger anchor the core menu, while the Larb Tartare signals that the kitchen is willing to bring Thai flavour vernacular into the mix. Thick-Cut Ribeye and Balsamic Steak Salad extend the menu for those who want something beyond a burger, and Truffle Parmesan Fries and Sweet Potato Fries cover the sides. Thick hand-spun milkshakes, made with top-quality ice cream, are available for those steering away from the beer taps.
Eight beers on tap is the real draw for a certain kind of regular. The range runs from an Italian lager at THB 250 per pint to an English IPA at THB 350 per pint, with European styles filling the taps in between. The Grab Thumbs Up Awards 2024 singled out Beast and Butter as Best Specialty Burger in Bangkok, a recognition that lands in the context of a genuinely competitive local burger scene.
The location at 270 Thong Lo, Khlong Tan Nuea, Watthana, sits within walking distance of Thong Lo BTS and the cluster of bars and restaurants that make this one of Bangkok's most active nightlife corridors. At 4.6 stars across 916 reviews, the scores hold steady for a spot that earns as much from its beer selection as its patties.
