» Imagine an old fisherman’s house crossed with a crab shack — then you’ll get the picture of what The Raw Bar looks like. Unlike other flashy restaurants around the Thong Lor area, it is slightly hidden away behind some overhanging plants and has somehow squeezed itself in between a Japanese restaurant and a small shop. The place comprises three floors: the first is really an oyster bar where you’re right in the middle of the oyster shucking action; the second and third are a little more private and cosy — good for office co-workers or large groups. The decor and interior are well thought out with fishing gear, rusty odds and ends, metal chains and vintage photographs — all of which contribute to the intimate, masculine-like setting reminiscent of a wooden boathouse. Diners include expats and urbanites who can’t get enough of oysters and lobsters.
