Rogue Affair

‘A spy-themed Sala Daeng bar so slick even James Bond would slide in and order his martini shaken, not stirred.’

Built around the mythology of spies, secrets and Ian Fleming-style glamour, Rogue Affair carries the hush of somewhere official agencies might quietly pretend not to know about. It’s a stylish sanctuary hiding in plain sight, with just enough theatre to flatter your inner double agent.

Order the Osaka, the Janitor or the Excommunicado and you get a taste of the bar’s obsession with coded lives, hidden motives and names that sound as if they belong in a classified file. It’s sleek, playful and very knowing.

But, much like a certain tuxedoed Englishman, you may find yourself circling back to the classic. The martini. Shaken, not stirred. Ice-cold, faintly ceremonial and still the drink that started the whole myth.

So slide onto a stool, keep your voice low and your intentions lower. Nobody's watching. Or everybody is. Either way, the martini is on its way.

Saladaeng 2, inside PASSA Hotel, 5th Floor. Open Wednesday-Sunday, 6pm-1am. Entry is free. Call 082 852 7999
