London Essence Best New Opening Award 2023

Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar

Bangkok

Eclectic and opulent new gem in Thailand

From the creators of seminal Bangkok venues Backstage Cocktail Bar and #FindTheLockerRoom comes Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar, arguably the most anticipated opening in Bangkok in 2022 and now the winner of the London Essence Best New Opening Award. Playfully riffing on the Thai proverb ‘two tigers cannot share the same cave’, Ronnaporn "Neung" Kanivichaporn and Chennarong “Jan” Bhumichitr are represented by a neon two-headed tiger that greets guests on arrival, a symbol of their creative bartending styles coming together in one place.

With the theme ‘Resourceful Cocktails’, the current drinks menu takes inspiration from selected ingredients used in every possible way: the savoury and rounded Cow, for instance, features brandy and red wine alongside brown butter, beef fat, clarified milk and blue cheese air, with fresh flavours derived from Thai mulberry; while the Orange cocktail mixes gin and vodka with orange vermouth, orange hydrosol and orange peel chips. Mahaniyom sits atop popular nose-to-tail restaurant 100 Mahaseth, with the delicious Northern Thai food menu curated by its chefs Charlie Kader and Randy Noprapa.
