Bangkok’s cocktail scene is set for an international gathering as BKK Social Club at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River prepares to welcome six of the world’s most celebrated bars for the second edition of Sálon Social: Liquid Legends. Taking place on Saturday, 24 October 2026, the annual cocktail event will bring together leading bartenders and drinks experts for an evening of original creations, cultural exchange, and exceptional hospitality.
Following its debut in 2025, Sálon Social: Liquid Legends 2026 will transform The Lounge at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok into a global cocktail salon, featuring acclaimed bars from Tokyo, Hong Kong, Paris, Chicago, Milan, and New York. Each participating bar will present three original cocktails created exclusively for the occasion, offering guests an opportunity to discover the flavours, techniques, and philosophies shaping contemporary cocktail culture.
At the heart of the event is BKK Social Club, the Latin America-inspired cocktail bar at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, recognised at No. 20 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026 list and No. 49 on The World’s 50 Best Bars 2025 list. Known for its distinctive cocktail programme and intuitive approach to hospitality, the bar has established itself as a meeting point for Bangkok’s drinks community and international industry talent.
For Sálon Social: Liquid Legends, BKK Social Club brings together bartenders whose work reflects different approaches to ingredients, craftsmanship and the guest experience. Rather than simply presenting a series of guest shifts, the event invites visitors to explore each bar’s identity through its people, drinks and stories.
“Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok has always been a place where the city meets the world,” says Lubosh Barta, Regional Vice President and General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River.
“Sálon Social: Liquid Legends captures that spirit beautifully. Through BKK Social Club, we have the opportunity not only to welcome extraordinary talent to Bangkok, but to create genuine connections between our guests, our city and people who are helping shape hospitality around the world.”
Philip Bischoff, Beverage Manager at BKK Social Club and Beverage Ambassador for Four Seasons Asia Pacific, shares a similar vision for the gathering.
“Sálon Social was never meant to simply put a collection of great bars in one room. It is about bringing together people we admire, learn from and are proud to call friends. Every one of these bars has a very distinct point of view, but what connects them is a genuine belief in hospitality,” he says.
From Japanese cocktail craftsmanship to agave-led creations and the meeting of mixology with gastronomy and design, the six visiting bars offer a cross-section of the international drinks scene.
The Bellwood – Tokyo [No. 79, Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2026; No. 48, The World's 50 Best Bars 2025] – Atsushi Suzuki's acclaimed Tokyo bar plays with the idea of “modern nostalgia,” reinterpreting Japanese tradition through contemporary cocktail craft and its signature Cocktail Kaiseki experience.
COA – Hong Kong [No. 24, Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026; No. 38, The World's 50 Best Bars 2025] – At Jay Khan’s pioneering Hong Kong bar, Jay Khan and Michelle Ong bring deep expertise in agave spirits and Mexican drinking culture to a distinctly Hong Kong setting, helping reshape Asia’s relationship with agave.
Danico – Paris [No. 19, Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026; No. 30, The World's 50 Best Bars 2025] – At their Paris bar, Nico de Soto and Corentin Gaudin bring a travel-led approach to cocktails, drawing on flavours, ingredients and culinary traditions encountered around the world.
Kumiko – Chicago [No. 11, North America's 50 Best Bars 2026; Michter's Art of Hospitality Award 2026; No. 97, The World’s 50 Best Bars 2025] – Julia Momosé brings Japanese influence and the philosophy of omotenashi to Chicago through an approach where considered cocktails and deeply personal hospitality go hand in hand.
Moebius Milano – Milan [No. 6, Europe's 50 Best Bars 2026; Best Bar in Italy 2026; No. 7, The World's 50 Best Bars 2025] – More than a cocktail bar, Lorenzo Querci’s Milan destination, with Giovanni Allario leading the bar programme, brings drinks into conversation with gastronomy, music, art, and design.
Sip & Guzzle – New York [No. 1, North America's 50 Best Bars 2026; No. 39, The World's 50 Best Bars 2025] – Shingo Gokan and Steve Schneider channel Japanese precision and New York energy into a two-part experience, each with its own personality and approach to drinking.
Taking place from 7 PM to 11 PM, the event will give guests the freedom to move between the six participating bars within The Lounge at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok. Each station will offer three original cocktails developed specifically for the evening, allowing visitors to meet the bartenders behind the creations and discover the inspirations informing their work.
The experience brings together a range of perspectives on contemporary mixology, from Japanese craftsmanship and agave exploration to globally inspired flavours and the relationship between cocktails, gastronomy and design. With each bar bringing its own approach to hospitality, the evening offers an opportunity to experience six international drinking destinations without leaving Bangkok.
For those who would like to revisit their favourite creations, a selection of cocktails from the participating bars will also be available at BKK Social Club for a limited period following the event.
