The Bed Supper Club Group have poured a lot of money into construction and decoration of this enormous space occupying the greater part of the 25th floor in the Column Building. The main attraction is the long communal table, which seats up to 70 persons. A long slick bar with bright red under-lighting extends through a floor to ceiling plate glass window out into the most tranquil part of the place; the outside terrace where you can hear a waterfall from the adjacent swimming pool and look onto a sparkling view of the city.
The drinks and especially wines-by-the-glass come highly priced, something that is ultimately drinkable is 500 baht per glass other less interesting selections go for 300 baht a glass. The Thai-influenced cooking is not the main draw and the furniture and barstools are designed more for looks than comfort although, in spite of this the place seems to be a big hit with the mixed crowd.
