About
TUBA — a vintage bar inside a working antique gallery. Ekkamai, Bangkok, since 2005.
TUBA (Tuba Design Furniture & Restaurant) is a vintage bar, restaurant and working antique gallery on Soi Ekkamai 21, off Sukhumvit 63. Hidden down a Bangkok backstreet since 2005, and rated 4.8+ by more than 4,000 guests on Google.
A life-sized Yoda statue, a 19th-century diving helmet and Spiderman share the room with nude portraits and vintage mismatched furniture and most of it is for sale. The chair you are sitting on has a price. Pieces sell, new ones arrive, and the room is never quite the same twice. That is why guests call it one of the most photogenic bars in Bangkok: every corner is a different photo spot, collected over twenty years, not styled last month.
Part antique gallery, part bohemian hangout, with a Thai-Italian menu, one of the longest cocktail lists in the city, live jazz on Tuesdays and Thursdays and DJs on weekends, TUBA feels more like an eccentric friend’s house than a bar and restaurant and that is the point.
Locals have treated it as their hidden gem in Ekkamai for two decades. Come with friends, find a secluded nook, sink into an antique sofa, and don’t forget your camera.
Planning a birthday, a team night or a private party? TUBA has two private rooms — the Gallery Room and the Museum Room. See Private Rooms for photos, capacity and rates.
