​Barback is a cocktail bar inspired by the energy and social culture of Bangkok’s Chinatown. Conceived as a seamless extension of Fireback, the two spaces flow naturally into one another - allowing guests to begin the evening with regional Thai cuisine at Fireback before the night gradually transitions into Barback: louder, smokier, more intimate and more nocturnal. Conversely you could begin with drinks and small plates at Barback and then move on to the Fireback menu.

At its core, Barback is built around craft cocktails, atmosphere and the pleasure of staying a little longer. The beverage program draws inspiration from Southeast Asian ingredients and flavours, layering familiar cocktail formats with elements such as pandan, yuzu, kaffir lime, tamarind, hojicha, guava, coconut and lemongrass to create drinks that feel vibrant, nuanced and highly drinkable.

The food menu takes cues from Yaowarat, Bangkok’s Chinatown district -smoky skewers, dumplings, wok-fired noodles, shellfish, grilled seafood and spicy sharing plates designed for relaxed, social dining around cocktails. The overall culinary direction feels rooted in Bangkok after dark with a focus on influences from its electric Chinatown to emerge naturally through the menu.

The name itself comes from the “barback” - the unseen force behind the bar that keeps the drinks moving. A good mixologist cannot really do without a dependable barback. That spirit defines the space: energetic, effortless, youthful and deeply social.
