“Savory cocktails aren't new, but something shifted in Bangkok's cocktail scene when Bar Us opened... All we know is the cocktails are well-balanced, and hard to compare to any we've had.”

- Dry Wave Cocktail StudioThonglor
“Their menu combines two classics into one glass, with the essence of both still intact... the Morning Tijuana. It combines a mezcal margarita with a breakfast martini into a cocktail with a strong hit of strawberry and paprika.”

- Mahaniyom Cocktail BarBang Rak
“Their standout is certainly the Cow, a savory-sweet drink utilizing beef fat, brown butter, and foam made from blue cheese. The bar is a great stop if you're looking to be wowed by different preparation techniques”

- VesperSilom
“The star of the menu here, however, is, and always will be, their Vesper, ice-cold from the freezer and crisp with a strong hit of botanicals, as any Vesper should be.”
