As soon as you walk through the door of this place, nestled in the shadow of Asoke BTS station, one thing is clear, this is not a concept pub, this is a p roper British boozer. You won’t find any faux-Irish décor, happy hours, or live bands; but that’s what makes it soappealing. It’s a snug escape from the madness of Bangkok with its wood paneled walls, adorned with a collection of mementoes; you even get a classic wise-cracking landlord thrown in for good measure. Its small size and low ceilings give it a cozy atmosphere helped by the low-level lighting and small brick fireplace.

On the ground floor there is a scattering of bench seats and tables or romantics can head upstairs with its candle-lit seating. Be warned though this will involve negotiating the metal spiral staircase, a challenge when you have had a drink or three. There is a good selection of beers, with Guinness, John Smith’s and Kilkenny on draught and a menu offering English style pub grub. Make sure you try the fish and chips – the haddock is imported direct from Scotland every Friday.
