A beer bar inside The Commons Thonglor, Bangkok. Thirteen draught lines, hundreds of bottles and cans, and everything on tap kept in a cold room. Live music or a DJ, air-conditioned inside and a covered open-air area, and dogs are welcome.
On tap
Eight to ten taps stay the same, so you can come back for what you had last time. Three to five change constantly. Beyond the draught there is a fridge holding hundreds of bottles and cans.
The rotating taps change constantly. Ask at the bar for what is pouring today.
The room
Two communal areas: one indoors with air conditioning, one a covered open-air section. Order from any of The Commons' vendors and sit anywhere. There are no reservations, so seating is first come, first served. As the bar has always put it: when it rains, we pour.
Live music and DJs happen here, but The Commons programmes what plays across the building. Which nights have music is not the bar's to set, so no schedule is published on this site — The Commons publishes each month's on its Facebook page.
The bar is dog-friendly and so is The Commons around it. The building is open-air and dogs are a normal sight in it.
Where you are
The Commons is a Thonglor landmark — an open-air building of independent kitchens stacked over four levels, from the Market at the bottom to the Top Yard. The bar is right in the middle of it on the Market floor, lot 17 — you cannot miss it — and the food around it runs from Thai and Italian to Mexican and Peruvian.
Partner venues
Two partner venues sit about two kilometres north of here, where Thonglor meets Phetchaburi. They answer a different question to this one: come here if you are arriving by BTS or are already in central Thonglor, and head there if you are driving and want free parking, if you are a large group, or if you are coming by canal boat.
Restaurant, cafe and event space at the north end of Thonglor, under the canal bridge that gives it its name.
Go for free on-site parking, room for a big group, a 300-guest event space, and the canal boat pier 60 m away

The quickest way to ask what is on tap today is the phone or LINE. There are no reservations here — the seating belongs to The Commons and is first come, first served. For a booked table, our partner venues Saphan 55 and BREW take them.
