Havana Social Bangkok

Through the phone booth

Find the phone booth in the back alley off Soi 11, step in and dial 1959. The wall swings open, and you're in 1950s Havana.

There's no entrance fee; you just pay for your drinks. If the code doesn't work, call the bar on 02 821 6111 for that evening's code.

First one through the booth gets the photo.

What is the dress code?

Smart casual, and men in open shoes get turned away.

Men wear closed shoes and a shirt. Women wear a dress or a smart top, and shoes they can dance in.

The drinking age is 20, so bring your passport. Ask Tanner if you're unsure what passes.

What should you order?

The daiquiri. The whole menu is built around it.

• The daiquiri: the house classic, front and centre.
• The Cuba Libre: rum, bitters, cola and lime, the way the bar makes it.
• The tiki drinks: a short list for anyone who wants something sweeter.
• The two eras: the menu splits into pre-revolution and post-revolution drinks, so the table can try one of each.

A cocktail costs about $11 on average, The World's 50 Best Discovery lists.

Which night is best?

Friday or Saturday, when the live Cuban band plays before the DJ.

Come after dinner, from about 9pm. By midnight the whole bar is dancing salsa.

Ask Tanner to time your arrival for the band.

Havana Social or Above Eleven?

Havana Social is the secret entrance, the rum and the Latin dancing. Above Eleven, on the same soi, is the rooftop dinner and the view.

Tanner's pick: Above Eleven first, then walk down to Havana Social.

See the whole soi in our Sukhumvit Soi 11 guide, and the clubs in our Sugar Club guide.

Getting there

Havana Social is at 41/3 Sukhumvit Soi 11, in Nana, down a back alley off the soi. Nana BTS is the nearest stop.

From Nana BTS, walk up Soi 11. A Grab drops you on the soi, a short walk from the alley.

Or your own car, with the driver waiting on Soi 11 to take the group on.

Is it safe?

Yes. The only thing that gets crowded is the dance floor, and Soi 11 outside is busy and lit late.

Watch your drink and check the bill before you pay. On the dance floor, keep phones and wallets in a front pocket.

Pick one meeting point on Soi 11 before the group splits up.

To get home, book a Grab or keep a driver waiting.

Your evening, planned

Dinner at Above Eleven at 7:30pm. The phone booth at Havana Social at 9:30pm, for the band and the daiquiris.

Then your own VIP section at Levels to finish, with the car on Soi 11 to take everyone home. See the whole street in our Sukhumvit Soi 11 guide.

The phone booth always gets a laugh on a stag; see how it fits the Bangkok bachelor party plan.

Plan it with Tanner.
