Order the pastrami. The house-cured New York-style sandwich is what regulars come back for, and it anchors a menu that otherwise leans American comfort with Thai and Mexican sides. Sunday acoustic sessions from 6PM are the calmest entry point if the weekend DJ nights feel too loud.

You walk into a garden with 40 taps running. The roof retracts when the weather cooperates, and the beer list rotates through craft breweries from over 20 countries. CRAFT opened in 2014 and has held the line as one of Bangkok's most committed draught beer operations since.

The food list runs deeper than bar snacks. Start with the pastrami sandwich: house-cured, hand-carved, piled on rye with New York-style pickles. The kitchen also turns out wood-fired pizza with thin crusts baked to order, plus a rotation of burgers and Thai dishes that keep the menu flexible for groups. Happy hour runs daily from 3PM to 6PM with Singha pints at 99 baht, and the weekly specials calendar includes half-price pizza on Mondays and buy-one-get-one tacos on Tuesdays.

Live music plays most nights. Sundays bring acoustic sessions from 6PM to 8PM, while Fridays and Saturdays shift to DJ sets that run later and louder. The space works for daytime groups with kids and night crowds in equal measure, and the layout spreads across enough tables that it absorbs volume without compressing.

Weekday doors open at 3PM, so if you are planning a lunch stop, aim for the weekend when service starts at noon. The venue sits a five-minute walk from BTS Asok, tucked into a soi that also holds Whisgars next door for cigar pairings and Birds Rotisserie for shared plates.
