Hidden down a side street in Bangkok’s Phrom Phong area — dotted with bars of varying levels of sketchiness — Ichigo’s Dining is a small, no-fuss spot worth knowing.

It doesn’t take long to realize you’ve stepped into the den of a true wine lover. With over 1,000 labels in the cellar, Swirl is a serious contender for Bangkok’s best wine bar. But the bottles, directly at hand to choose in the cellar, are only part of the story.

With its tattooed chef and loud music, this place has naturally become a staple of Bangkok’s wild party scene.
