Hide Cafe Bar Khaosan

Overview

Hide Cafe Bar is a refined and stylish venue located on Thanon Tanee a couple of streets back from the lively Khao San Road in Bangkok. The bar aims to deliver a “5-star experience” in terms of interior, service and atmosphere. It serves as both a café during the day and a cocktail bar by night, offering a more sophisticated alternative to the high-octane party bars on KSR.

About Hide Cafe Bar

Hide Cafe Bar is designed to feel like a stylish escape amidst the chaos of Khao San Road.
The décor blends café-lounge comfort with bar chic: early evening coffee or light bites shifting into cocktail mode after dark, with cosy seating. Chill out at the pool table or enjoy one of the board games. The vibe is relaxed, making it suitable for conversation and hanging out.

Music

Hide Cafe Bar is a lounge-bar with a relaxed ambiance. DJs may play house, hip hop, afrobeats and the like, and there are many special events. Wednesday is often a “Ladies Night”. Check their social media (above) to see what’s on.

Food & Drinks

Drinks: The bar emphasises its cocktail and drink offerings. Regular beers like Singha are available as well as craft beers. Non-alcoholic drinks are also available.
Food: The focus is on drinks, food is more of the “edibles” variety if you get the drift.

Hide Cafe Bar Highlights

• A more refined alternative to Khao San Road: quieter, stylish, good for those wanting something upscale yet still part of the street’s energy.
• Quality cocktail offering: strong emphasis on craft cocktails and well-trained staff.
• Flexible opening hours: The venue is open from early morning (8 am) through ’til late – ideal for daytime coffee or late-night drinks.
• Hidden gem feel: It’s a new-ish venue tucked away from KSR and less frantic than many neighbouring bars.
• Friendly staff, a relaxed vibe & modern aesthetic for those after Instagram-worthy spots.

Best Time to Visit

• Early evening (around 5pm-7pm): Perfect for relaxing drinks, enjoying the interior and escaping the peak street noise.
• After dinner (8pm-10pm): Good for transitioning into a night-out mode – drinks flowing, music building but still comfortable conversation.
• Late-night (10pm onward): If you want more buzz, this is when to visit. But if you prefer something calmer, come earlier.
• Given the 8 am-late opening hours, daytime visits (coffee or casual drink) are also possible if you want a “quiet before the rush” moment.

Insider Tips

• Ask for cocktail recommendations: The bartenders know their stuff – tell them your flavour preferences and let them craft something unique.
• Come earlier for conversation: If you prefer chatting and relaxing rather than high-volume bar mode, show up before 9pm.
• Check social media for events/promos: Their Instagram and Facebook pagesd (both linked above) will show any special nights, themed cocktails or happy hour deals.
• Dress smart-casual: Though the atmosphere and dress code is relaxed, this is one of the more stylish spots.
