Sathorn Road’s first European-style pub offers imported beers and international eats at great value for money
SATHORN Road’s entertainment offerings have been given a great boost with the arrival of this new gastro-pub on the ground floor of the Ascott Hotel. Owned and operated by 2 The Big Mango Group, the same company behind the popular Pintsman and After Hours pubs on Silom Road, M Pub has taken what’s great about its sisters and built on the concepts ‒ offering a whopping 100 imported beers by the bottle, an extensive international food menu, and a roster of nightly entertainment that includes a live acoustic duo on Mon-Thurs and Sat-Sun, and a live band on Friday nights. |
Polished wooden floors, blonde-timber furniture, subdued lighting, and a neck-craning ceiling supported by three illuminated columns ensure the atmosphere is distinctly modern; while a hodgepodge of decorative elements ‒ plates from Holland, portraits of the Duke of Wellington, humorous plaques with slogans like “Alcohol: I only drink it to make you more interesting” ‒ inject plenty of European flavour.
The pub’s chef, a Thai national, began his career over 15 years ago working in the kitchens of O’Reilly’s Irish pub. Since then he’s worked at several high-end hotels and expat-owned bars so he knows exactly how to please discerning western palates, cooking up everything from Traditional Irish stew (featuring huge, succulent chunks of lamb in a deliciously thick soup. B250++) and Mixed grilled seafood (featuring cod, salmon steak, skewered squid, skewered prawns. B490++; or B390++ without salmon), to Beef tenderloin steak (200g. B500++) and Pork ribs (smeared in a divine, sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. B320++).
Local tastes are rewarded, meanwhile with delicious dishes such as Chicken green curry (B220++), Spicy minced pork balls (B190++), and Chicken with cashew nuts (B220++).
To wash the food down there are the aforementioned beers, with a nation-hopping selection that ranges in price from B130++ for Beer Lao, to B600 for the famous Estrella Damm Inedit from Spain. An extensive cocktail list is also on offer, as well as a good selection of wines.
Daily Happy Hours from 4pm-8pm offer 20% off imported bottled beer, Heineken pints at B100++ and selected imported pints at B180++. A Four-course set lunch menu, starting at B159++, is available daily from 11am-3pm, Bar snacks (think Spinach gratin, Onion rings, and Cheese nachos) are B150++ from 3pm-9pm, and every Mon-Fri there’s 20% off cake.
