Start at Capella’s Stella, move to nearby BKK Social Club, then head north towards Mandarin Oriental for The Bamboo Bar. The hotel entrances are on separate properties; use public streets or transport rather than expecting a continuous riverside walkway. The final leg is longer.
Begin at Stella before its 23:00 alcohol-service cutoff and leave space for dinner. Check the music programmes, dress guidance, age rules and available tables before choosing all three. Drinks are charged and the route does not make reservations. One or two stops can be plenty for a good night.
Stella
Start with a quieter room at Capella. Alcohol service ends before the bar’s closing time, so do not leave this stop until midnight.
BKK Social Club
Move to the neighbouring Four Seasons property using its own entrance. Confirm space and the 20+ access policy.
The Bamboo Bar
Head north for a music-led finish at Mandarin Oriental. Consult the current programme and arrival arrangements before setting out.
