This is the bar up above Khao San Road. Darkly lit, vibey place with some neon and cool music in background. Good spot to have a drink while waiting for a table downstairs. Drink menu has some interesting Thai themed takes on classic cocktails. Had the Letters From Iwo Jima Thai version of an Old Fashioned and it was pretty good. Guac and Chips was solid - homemade chips and good quac. King Oyster Mushroom was quite tasty although a bit too salty. Overall (4/5) - not a bad little place pre-dinner. read more

Nice place to stop by for a drink. Didn't have any food but the menu looked interesting. We sat at the bar upstairs with big TV's and a great vibe. Our bartender was nice and attentive with a real wit about her saying funny lines and entertaining. Next time will get some food but the drinks I can attest are well pored. read more

This bar is located on top of Khao San Road and their service is just as bad as Khao San Road. They take a while to get your drinks. You have to close your tab and take the drink with you if your table is ready downstairs which they never bothered to tell us that our table is ready even though we left our number with them. The drink was ok and the ambiance is night life-ish with dark lightning and graffiti. Just wish they had a better process to transfer our tab downstairs. read more

A fun Bangkok-themed bar above the restaurant. The drinks were priced well, but it was a bit light on the booze. We had the letters from Iwo Jima (the bar's spin on the old-fashioned) and the Thelonious Monk (to me, it was a light version of the Long Island iced tea). Both were tasty but, again, light on the booze. Friendly bartenders. read more

The music in here was awesome! 2000's hip hop bangers. My favorite kind. I came here with a small group and they tried a bunch of different cocktails. I personally had a mocktail and it was not bad. But they said all their cocktails were good and/or great. Service was just enough for a bar in that we could get what we wanted without being bothered. Would come back for a quick drink! read more

This bar was very cool and loved the vibe. The music was way too loud for a weekday though. The drinks were super interesting and tasty. Loved the presentation of the drinks as well. The waiters were attentive and the drinks were brought over very quickly! read more

Fun cool atmosphere. Super hip. We didn't try the food at the bar itself although the menu looked amazing. The food downstairs though was AMAZING and very good service by hostess (the place was packed) and our server read more

Bang Sue Bar is located upstair of Khao San Road. Great to start or end your evening after dinner at KSR. The set up of the bar is dark and loud with a Khao San Road vibe. Here you can order drinks, bar snacks and desserts. Pro tips: there is no dessert offers downstairs in the restaurant. So if you do want a sweet ending, head upstairs after dinner Bloody Caesar made with the World's hottest peppers? I just couldn't resist that challenge. It was quite spicy and love that Thai chili as garnish. Nice cool bar to chill and have Asian Inspired cocktails without actually flying to Thailand! I do miss Thailand. read more

Girlfriends and I came here for happy hour oysters. We also ordered chicken skewers and spring rolls as well. The oysters unfortunately weren't as fresh as we hoped. They serve it with spicy Thai mignonette sauce which cut the fishy flavor. Without it, it's definitely not to my liking. It also took a very long time for the oysters to come out which can sometimes happen when it's a busy spot, I understand. When we wanted to order another round they also ran out, that was at about 8:45 PM on a Thursday. This place is OK for a drink while you wait for a table downstairs or before going for dinner elsewhere, based on my experience with the food and service. read more

Literally felt like i was back on Khao San Road in Bangkok. Loved the food and the drinks.

Late review, I came here around four months ago. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here, it's pretty hip and it's on the upper floor of Khao San Road. The only thing was that the menu selection was small, that night for some reason a lot of the dishes weren't available, but it was ok. Our waiter was pretty funny and did tell us what was available. The cocktails selection was neat and not too pricey either. Would love to come back another night. read more

Limited menu. Decent drinks. It's a very hip vibe with good bartenders. We happened to be there on wing night. The Thai wings were good. It was a small portion and the wings themselves were on the small side. The Sriracha fried chicken was really good, however, and I recommend it. read more

SERVICE: Two friends and I went on a Thursday night for dinner, we did not have reservations however we were seated immediately. The server was engaging with recommendations and attentive when we needed service. Overall, good service! FOOD: Bang Sue Bar has the "Buck a Shuck" special on Thursdays with no time limit which was great. Between the three of us, we ordered two dozens of oysters. The oysters were served with lemon and a spicy thai sauce. The oysters were a little fishy. The server recommended the Sriracha Fried Chicken and it was really tasty! It was flavourful with the spices and it was crispy and crunchy. I would order this again! They have a large beer selection, we ordered a few IPAs and their Moscow Mules were good! AMBIENCE: Bang Sue Bar is located above Khao San Road with a hippy and chill vibe. They have a big screen TV and they were playing the Stanley Cup Final game. It was a good and fun night. I would come back! read more

Really loved this cute hideaway bar on top of Khao. The happy hour specials were nicely presented and the prices were really decent with the purchase of a drink, lots of beer options available. We were disappointed because Thai iced tea was sold out! read more

Mostly waiting area for Khao San but it was good in its own right! The food menu is different than the restaurant and is made up of mainly small dishes. I went on a Sunday to escape the rain and had the fried chicken which was only 5$ with the purchase of a drink (have different specials every day). It was crunchy and moist at the same time with good dipping sauces. My drink was also excellent (spicy mezcal cocktail). Bar staff were very nice. Music is quite loud but it's a fun tiki bar kind of atmosphere. read more

Bang Sue Bar - Highway to hell is very nice with a good kick to it :) - Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Atmosphere is a 4 Drinks are a 4 Service is a 2- friendly and hip staff. even though they came around frequently for drinks we had a main dish that never arrived. we were starving and went else where for dinner. we did enjoy the $1 oysters, and the pork dish was pitiful portion size wise and not great. Overall experience was a 3.5. Cute spot for drinks ..... but that's about it. read more

This place is located above a Thai Restaurant, Khao San Road. We went here while waiting for our table. This is a nice bar/snack place. Sriracha Fried Chicken ($14+tax) was soo yummy! My Fave! Perfect crispiness with Thai Basil! There were 2 sauces, one spicy and the other non-spicy! The chicken was juicy and tasty! Love this snack!!! Goes well with beer!! Shrimp Chips & Dip ($5+tax) The Nam Prik Noom Salsa was SUPERRRR spicy! I had to dip the shrimp chip into the non-spicy sauce from the fried chicken! read more

What an absolute gem! Our group stopped in after a concert on Monday July, 24. Upon entering we found ourselves able to enjoy, not only wonderful late night fare and drinks, but an impromptu movie night on our part! The bartender who served us was efficient, knowledgeable, and friendly. The next time we are in the area, this place will be a must on our list, and should be on yours too! read more

Pretty crowded when we went here so get here early. Great draft selection. You can take your drink downstairs and enjoy with some awesome Thai food (after settling of course). Bartenders were friendly. Smallish area so make some new friends. read more

Came here during a night of barhopping on a Friday night since it was nearby. I don't know what it is but I felt this place had everything to be a great and bumping spot but for some reason it's not. It's on the second level to the popular Khao San Road restaurant. The staff is great, bartenders were engaging and friendly and gave suggestions on which drinks were good. Speaking of which, the prices for drinks and cocktails is a bit more expensive than other places nearby I found. The music was great, loud but you can still have a conversation, the decor was clean and eyecatching and styling. Everything a great spot should be but for some reason, it was dead. Probably 8 people were inside, lots of empty tables and barseats. It felt a bit sad to be honest. If the place was more alive, the rating would have been better. I'd come again after they get a bit more reviews (so hopefully more people find this place) read more

Perfect spot for an after-work beer and snack with a friend or two (max three - definitely more of a busy-but-cozy-with-many-small-tables kind of place). Would also be a great first date spot! Great selection of beers and the spring rolls - both were great! read more

My friend and I went here yesterday, because we wanted to try the buck-a-shuck oysters here. The restaurant/bar is hidden away on the second floor off of John Street. It's a dark, informal place, not very big, with coloured chalkboard and bench decor. The place doesn't take reservations, which is fine. We got there and were seated right away. It wasn't very busy. It's very loud and 90s/00s music was playing, of which I'm a big fan. We ordered 2 dozen oysters, fried rice, and their Sriracha chicken. We also each ordered a drink -- I got the Caesar and my friend got a sweet cocktail (don't remember the name). The oysters came on a bed of rice. I would have preferred it if they were served on ice and colder. They also didn't have any horse radish, but had an assortment of hot sauces. The oysters themselves were good, no fishy taste. The fried race was okay -- lots of veggies but a bit oily. The Sriracha chicken really is the star of the menu. It's tender and crispy. I am giving it 3 stars, for the reasons given above and also because the staff was not very attentive (even when the place was not busy); the portions were somewhat small; and there was not a lot of choice to the menu. It's definitely a dive bar, but it's what you expect, and I'm not faulting the place for that. But it could easily be a 4-star experience with just a bit of tweaking read more

Looks like this typically seen as a waiting room for Khao San Road below but we went with full dinner intentions. Nice selection of cocktails and draught beer. They have daily food specials and we got the wings (1lb for $9). Had nice heat and flavor. No such thing as too much fried chicken - so also added an order of the sriracha fried chicken. Really tender. I preferred the white/green dipping sauce to the sriracha though. Got a large mango salad also - good for sharing b/w two to round off a full meal. Nice flavor but fairly standard. Spotted the desserts scrawled on the blackboard and tried the dessert roti with chocolate. So simple and so good, and the serving size isn't that big to make you feel guilty ;) Bang Sue - more than just a waiting room. read more

We came here on a week night and it was SO packed. Service was understandably slow, considering the ratio of customer-to-server. Their buck-a-shuck that day was from New Brunswick. They were a bit old and odd tasting. However, the fixings that came with the oyster were fantastic: cilantro, fish sauce, a few fried noodles, a spicy chili, and the oysters were on a bed of decoration rice. The $5 spring rolls were disappointing. They were 3 teeny tiny things, slightly bigger than a cigarette, and not very tasty. The mango salad from the other table looked quite decent. We probably won't be coming back because it was uncomfortably packed, even on a weeknight. (and yes, my friends do make fun of my name and the name of this bar, but that's besides the point) read more

Came in on a Friday night with a few friends and this place was pretty busy. It had a great vibe and fabulous cocktails. My favourite was the one with rum and coconut in it, which was so refreshing and made me feel as if I was on vacation on a beach. We also liked the one with the chai syrup, a very unique and cool taste. The food is quiet good. The rice was nothing special for $13 but the Sriracha fried chicken was amazing. We also got the jowl (really good) and shrimp chips (very typical). All in all, a nice spot to hang out for a few hours catching up with friends! read more

We went up here to wait for our table but the bar tenders weren't very friendly and the charged $14 for a drink that I'm not sure even had alcohol in it. My husband had the golden age. I got the Thai ceasar and asked for it spicy and paid extra for it to be spicy and I couldn't taste any spiciness at all. Very disappointed read more

yelp check in is blessed. food is great, bartenders/waiters are better. definitely a place to check out.

So much fun! If you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere, this is your spot and the snack menu is perfect with a beer in hand. Located directly above my favourite Thai spot in the city (KSR), I love the option of having a cute bar when I need to wait for a table, as oppose to just a bar top section. Food: Pork Jowl and skewers Cocktail: The Golden Age read more

Cozy vibes upstair KSR. Im personally not the biggest fan of the food at KSR, but bang sue is a great place for a crafted drink ( or 3) on a cold cold evening. The bartenders are friendly, so don't be a stranger and say hi. Go to this joint with your friends, a soon to fail Tinder date, your boss. It will all be better at Bang Sue! read more

Finally tried and I love it! Sat at the bar and it really gives some tropical tiki hut vibes. Bartender is super nice, gave me a sample of the Collingwood Raspberry - light and easy summer drink. Food is good too - pork jowl & fried chicken. Great place for date or small group drinks/light bites. read more

I will need to update this review once I go back for a full dinner but first impressions are so good. We went to the bar upstairs and loved the feel and decor of the place. The food smell wafting in from the restaurant was so tempting. We felt like had been transported to a upscale bar in Thailand. We got drinks and some shrimp chips (prawn crackers for the non North Americans) which were lovely and so hard to find for something that is so common in Ireland. Service very friendly and helpful. read more

I had my first taste of Bang Sue last night whilst waiting for a table downstairs at the always busy Khao San Road and let me tell you it was really cook! Totally different vibe and offerings and if I hadn't put my name on the list downstairs I probably would have stayed for a full meal! The cocktail list was great and beer selection was extensive and affordable. They have a good amount of food options too. We tried the Sriracha fried chicken and it was one of the best I've had! I will be returning to try the rest of the menu very soon. Would definitely recommend coming here for dinner and drinks. Side note- Service was friendly and attentive without being pretentious or bothersome. 5 STARS read more

Went in for drinks here while waiting for a table at khao San road. Quite cozy, good date spot. Got the Belgian ipa which was delicious

Pretty bad bar compared to places around. The food is quiet bad, it was almost inedible. Brussel sprouts were under cooked, sriracha chicken was too salty and not spicy at all. Drinks are usual, nothing special. I'd rather go to another bar around. read more

Awesome place!! Great beer selection. Cocktails are delicious. Staff was very friendly and chef even came out and offered a complimentary dish off the "secret menu". Bird is the Word cocktail is phenomenal!! Bang Sue Special is also recommended. Highly recommend Bang Sue Bar for fun drinks and good company. read more
