Pub grub hub
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 21/11/2014
» Sanity aside, there’s a new comfort burger point in town. It’s housed in the cosy wood-laden surrounds of the shophouse that the original incarnation of Seven Spoons once occupied. It houses 10, maybe 12 at a pinch, but this isn’t the place for the be-seen scene. Not yet anyway. To diversify from its origins, the visuals follow a Polynesian bent, with a tiki twist. It’s still finding its feet decor-wise, but seems to have the right intent – the young front man Pavee “Wham” Bhayungvej was a visual merchandiser in a past life, after all. The music is on point and inviting as can be. The two-storey shophouses of the area ooze charm and potential – it’s a shame they are so far away – unless you live over in Samsen or the like, of course. The crowd is a mix of Wham’s friends, Seven Spoons devotees and the odd walk-in, who would be pleasantly surprised to see what they find inside the snug room.

Down by the river
Guru, Richard Mcleish, Published on 28/02/2014
» So it turns out that Bangkok does have some old warehouses to convert into cool stuff. The latest is Sheepshank Public House, fashioned out of an old shipbuilding yard right on the river at Phra Athit (just a stone’s throw from Khao San). For the conversion, they’ve tacked on a new river-facing facade in the theme of the old factory with pretty good results. Inside, the slender-but-lofty room adorned with industrial light fittings, exposed bricks and some old machinery is space for around 30 pax, who can enjoy the river and sunset views. It’s intimate while being spacious enough, with just enough rustic authenticity to work.
