Watthana hides bars that remember you by your second drink.
Why WATTHANA, why now
Time Out Bangkok's 2026 best new cafes list features two Watthana openings, Hand and Hearts Coffee Roaster and Butchery Coffee Sukhumvit 49, making it the district with the most new cafe momentum this month across the creative Sukhumvit corridor.
1. 和カフェ手毬 Cafe Temari
- 416/8, 14 ถ. ทองหล่อ แขวงคลองตันเหนือ เขตวัฒนา กรุงเทพมหานคร 10110
- 4.8 · 428 reviews · Dessert
Cafe Temari opens the course because you need something slow and complete before the evening. The spot serves full Japanese sets, sushi, ramen, and pasta in Thong Lor, tucked on a quiet soi where you can sit for an hour and the day holds its shape. It's a daylight anchor when the rest of the neighborhood hasn't started yet.
Crew's note
The lamps hang like they've been waiting. Sit anywhere.

2. 2463 Speakeasy
- 8, 8 Soi Sukhumvit 63, Khwaeng Phra Khanong Nuea, Watthana, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon 10110
- 4.7 · 215 reviews · Cocktail Bar
2463 Speakeasy closes the route because night in Watthana asks for a place that feels like it chose you. The bar sits after dark with live music, Italian and French wine, and seating that doesn't rush you out. This is where the course settles and the second drink decides how long the night runs.
Crew's note
The gold wall swallows whatever you carried in.

Cozy atmosphere, delicious cocktails, and great service. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a nice bar to relax and enjoy the night.
The walk between
Between Temari and 2463, the Sukhumvit corridor shifts from daytime sois into the low-lit stretch where the new cafes Time Out mentioned are reshaping the strip. You're walking through the district's current momentum, where creative openings cluster and the evening opens up.
- Start at Temari during daylight hours when the set menus arrive at their own pace, around 20 to 30 minutes, and you have time to let the meal sit.
- Book at 2463 if you're planning a night with live music and want a seat that holds the mood through multiple rounds.
FAQ
- What's the price feel for this course?
- Temari's Lady Set Menu runs 299 THB, so lunch sits comfortably under 500 per person with a drink. 2463 leans toward mid to upper pricing for cocktails and wine, typical for a speakeasy with curated bottles from Italy and France.
- How hard is it to find the speakeasy entrance?
- The main entrance at 2463 isn't immediately obvious, so give yourself a few extra minutes to locate it on arrival. Once inside, the moody lighting and plush seating make the search worth the effort.
