Ruby’s is not a bar you wander into. With just 16 seats at a sleek dark wood bar, this is a venue that rewards those who book ahead and arrive with curiosity. The concept is rooted in gemology; each of the cocktails on the menu is named after and inspired by a precious stone, with its own narrative drawn from the tales and beliefs that surround it. Just as a gemstone carries centuries of meaning, every drink at Ruby’s carries a story that unfolds differently depending on who is reading it.
The narrative runs deeper still. Ruby’s serves as the prequel to Ms.Jigger – the hotel’s well-known Italian restaurant and bar named after a fictional, well-heeled Thai traveller. Ruby’s tells the story of what came before: a parting of ways, a heartbreak preserved in ice and fine spirits. The interiors reflect this precisely; dark wood panels, high shelves displaying bottles and glassware with museum-like care, and bar stools. Sleek, cosy and quietly cinematic.
This cocktail bar sits on the L Floor of Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, adjacent to Ms.Jigger, and it is one of the most distinctive Bangkok bars with creative cocktail menus in the city.

SECTION 5 — THE COCKTAIL PROGRAMME
Every cocktail at Ruby’s carries a unique name, a story, and a blend of ingredients chosen with a jeweler’s precision. The menu features a curated selection of creative spirits and virgin blends; original creations you won’t find at any other cocktail bar in Bangkok.
For guests keeping it alcohol-free, the Jasper (orange, carrot, ginger, turmeric, mango sticky rice, yuzu, fruit tea, white peach and jasmine soda) and the Peridot (coconut, pandan, citrus, blood orange elderflower tonic) prove the zero-proof menu has been given the same level of thought as everything else on the list.
The nibbles at Ruby’s are designed to elevate the bar experience – specific, delicate and chosen to complement the gemstone cocktail programme.
The Chef’s Gems format allows guests to select three, six or eleven bites, priced at THB 590, THB 1,090 and THB 1,690 respectively.
The selection includes tempura Fine de Claire oyster with stracciatella, caramelised onion and balsamic pearls; grilled wagyu beef with truffle, creamy gorgonzola and crunchy onion on brioche; foie gras tartlet with wild mushroom and ricotta; king crab pyramid ravioli with pumpkin and ginger velouté and bottarga; and red prawn tartare with paprika rice chip and wasabi aioli. Dessert bites include Panna Cotta with blueberry and 24-carat gold leaf and a chocolate mousse with rum, dried raspberry powder and almond cake crumble.
To complement the gemstone-inspired menu, we designed a selection of “Chef’s Gems” – delicate, specific small plates crafted to elevate the bar experience. These snacks are precise culinary pairings intended to mirror the sophistication of our cocktail bar.
Guests can curate their own journey with a choice of three, six, or eleven bites. From the richness of Grilled Wagyu with Truffle and Foie Gras Tartlets to the bright coastal notes of Tempura Fine de Claire Oysters and King Crab Ravioli, each dish is a masterclass in miniature. For a decadent finish, the 24-carat gold-leaf Panna Cotta is a shimmering conclusion to your experience at our bar in Bangkok.
It is this level of detail that secures Ruby’s place among Bangkok bars with creative cocktail menus, where the food is held in the same high regard as the pour.
A visit to Ruby’s is as much about the conversation as the cocktail. With just sixteen seats, every guest enjoys a direct connection with our team of storytellers who guide you through the gemstone menu with effortless poise. It is this rare intimacy that defines the most sought-after cocktail bar experience in the city.
The setting rewards an Evening Chic dress code, providing a polished backdrop for a considered night out. A quiet celebration or a solo drink that leads to a second; the quality of the pour and the hushed glamour of the space make the hours dissolve. As a standout among cocktail bars in Bangkok with creative menus, Ruby’s has become a definitive destination for those who plan their evening around a coveted seat at the bar.
