Cherry Olive Cocktail Club sits on Convent Road with a simple choice at the centre of its identity: do you feel more Cherry or Olive tonight? The answer does not refer only to garnish. Its twenty-drink YOURS menu is divided into two moods, one modern and playful, the other classic and composed. That structure makes a technically ambitious cocktail programme easier to approach, especially for guests who know the feeling they want but not the exact spirit or recipe.
Two moods on one menu
The Cherry side is the more mischievous half. It uses contemporary techniques, unexpected flavour combinations and playful presentation without demanding that the guest understand the process. The Olive side leans toward the language of classic cocktails: stronger lines, familiar structures and a calmer sense of elegance. Rather than reading from top to bottom, start by telling the bartender whether you want bright, savoury, spirit-forward, refreshing or dessert-like. The team can then translate a mood into a drink.
The team behind the bar
The club brings together several generations of Thai bartending. Supawit Palm Muttarattana, Chanon Buranon and Chanchai Rodbamrung contribute experience across Bangkok’s modern cocktail scene, while Tanach Sutthiruk leads service as head bartender. That depth matters because the menu depends on conversation. A good recommendation should account for sweetness, bitterness, alcohol strength and flavours you dislike, not only the most photographed signature.
What to order first
Guests who enjoy theatrical, modern drinks can begin on the Cherry side. Good Old Days is presented as a nostalgic idea and has been served with a popsicle, while Nosy explores assertive ingredients including truffle, jackfruit and beetroot. Olive is the better starting point for someone who wants recognisable balance and a more classical frame. Menus evolve, so use those names to understand the approach rather than assuming every drink will remain unchanged.
The room and rhythm
Cherry Olive describes itself as a cocktail club, and the atmosphere is social rather than hushed. It works for two people at the bar, a small group settling into the evening, or one carefully chosen drink after dinner in Silom. Music is part of the energy, which means the room may grow livelier later at night. Arrive earlier if you want a detailed conversation with the bartender; choose a later visit if the club atmosphere matters more.
Prices and pacing
Published coverage places cocktails from around THB 450 before service charge and tax. A realistic budget should include the final ++ amount, water, snacks and transport home. Complex drinks can be deceptively smooth, so order at a pace that lets each glass register. Sharing tastes within a group is useful, but each guest should still order according to personal limits. Alcohol-free guests can ask what the bar can build around flavour rather than simply removing a spirit.
Getting there
The bar is at 10 Convent Road in Silom, a short walk from BTS Sala Daeng and MRT Silom. It opens daily from 6pm to 1am according to the venue information available at publication. Convent Road is busy around dinner, so rail is often simpler than driving. Message the official account for current reservations, table policy and holiday hours. A confirmed reply is particularly useful for Friday and Saturday nights.
Why it stands out
Bangkok has no shortage of concept bars, but Cherry Olive makes its idea practical. The two-sided menu helps guests express preference without reciting cocktail vocabulary, while the experienced team can take the conversation deeper when invited. The bar received the Best New Bars 2026 distinction from the B.A.D. Awards, but the more useful test is whether the staff can guide different drinkers to different answers. Come with a mood, describe it honestly, and let the first glass set the direction.
Going as a group
A mixed group will get more from the menu by ordering across both sides and comparing structure rather than declaring one drink the winner. Tell the team about allergies before any garnish or house preparation reaches the table. Keep the group compact enough for conversation, and reserve if everyone expects seats together. Splitting the bill can slow a busy bar, so decide early whether one person will pay and collect transfers. Plan a safe journey home before the final round, particularly after the rail network closes.
Bar etiquette
Cocktail bars work at a different pace from high-volume clubs. Give the bartender a complete order, allow time for each drink to be built, and avoid reaching across the working station. If a flavour does not suit you, explain what feels wrong; a precise comment is more useful than demanding a replacement without context. Photograph quickly, keep the flash off, and leave space for the drink to be enjoyed at the temperature intended. Thoughtful guests usually receive a more thoughtful experience in return.
Check the official Cherry Olive account on the day of the visit for private events, guest shifts or changed hours. Those evenings can be excellent, but they may alter seating and the regular menu.
