The dual identity here, a vegan restaurant and a named music bar sharing one space, is what makes Golden State Vegan worth the detour. Most plant-based concepts in Bangkok lean heavily on the health angle and skip the bar program entirely. This one does the opposite: the cocktail list is genuinely considered, the vinyl nights give the room a rhythm that most dinner restaurants never achieve, and the retro-funky interior matches the energy rather than fighting it.

Golden State Vegan operates under two names simultaneously. The restaurant side is Golden State, built around a California-Japanese plant-based menu. The bar side is Midori Music Bar, running a full cocktail program and weekly vinyl nights from the same third-floor space in RR Space on Sukhumvit 33. Both halves function at the same time every day from noon to midnight, which is the clearest signal that this is not a restaurant that tolerates drinking but a venue that runs two genuine concepts in parallel.\n\nThe food menu is wider than the sushi-forward branding suggests. The kitchen puts out 16-plus named sushi rolls as the anchor of the menu, supported by small bites, salads, burgers, tacos, noodles, and desserts. The venue's own description of the experience is "retro, funky vibe" and "high on life," which maps accurately to the physical space and the crowd the concept draws.\n\nThe bar program is organized across signature cocktails, fizzy builds, margaritas, and classics, with a zero-alcohol section running alongside beer and wine. Happy-hour food and drink are listed as an official offering. The weekly vinyl nights are the primary music anchor, with the Midori Music Bar name indicating this is a programmed entertainment component rather than background noise.\n\nThe venue identifies as LGBTQ-friendly and a transgender safe space, per the venue's listed amenities. Delivery, takeaway, and outdoor seating are all offered alongside table service and counter service, so the noon-to-midnight span functions across very different use cases depending on the hour.\n\nOne practical note: the venue sits on the third floor of a commercial building. BTS Phrom Phong is the cleaner arrival option. Paid parking is available on site, but the building entrance adds friction that a street-level restaurant does not.
