The pitch: an editor's read on Wishbeer Home Bar
Wishbeer Home Bar sits on Sukhumvit Soi 71 in Khlong Toei, eight minutes from Phra Khanong BTS. The bar has operated since 2014 alongside Wishbeer's online shop and BK Magazine's 2023 craft beer guide continues to rank it among Bangkok's three best bottle-and-tap rooms.
This is the bar for a drinker who wants 18 changing taps and a bottle-shop wall, not a cocktail menu. Glassware matches the brewery and the staff actually read the menu. Expect a B220 floor and a B320 ceiling on most draft pours.
The room: a closer read
The space is a single high-ceilinged room with the taps along the back wall and a bottle wall flanking the entrance. The Smart Local's 2023 Bangkok craft beer feature described it as 'the closest Bangkok gets to a Portland beer hall', and the read holds on a Thursday at 9pm.

What to order, and what to skip
The list runs short and the bar runs it on its own terms. Order from the signatures.
Skip the cocktail orders. The bar runs beer first. Order the tap list, not the bar list.
The crowd: who shows up, and when
The crowd is Bangkok craft beer regulars between 6pm and 9pm, with a Sukhumvit expat wave on Fridays. r/bangkokbeer and the Bangkok Beer Society Facebook group consistently flag Wishbeer as the city's most-recommended craft beer counter for visitors.
What regulars say
- “18 taps and the list rotates every two weeks.” (r/bangkokbeer thread, 2024)
- “The bottle wall is the move. Pick three and pay the takeaway price.” (Google Maps review, August 2025)
- “Thursday at 7pm is the sweet spot.” (Google Maps review, February 2026)
- “The staff actually know what's in the glass.” (Bangkok Beer Society coverage, 2024)
Who it is for
- Craft beer regulars who want 18 taps and a bottle wall.
- Bangkok visitors looking for a non-cocktail evening in Sukhumvit.
- Group nights anchored by 4-flight tasting boards.
- Avoid if a cocktail program is the goal. Mahaniyom covers that two BTS stops west.
