As its name suggests, the Long Table restaurant has one of the longest dining tables in the city as well as some of the “longest nightcaps”.
Perched on the 25th floor of Column Bangkok overlooking the lush garden of Queen Sirikit National Convention Center with Bangkok’s skyline as a backdrop, Long Table first opened its doors in 2008 based around the 24meter long dining table.
Patrons flock to the venue early in the evening to catch the sunset, and stay on for sumptuous Thai and Asian dishes served on the elongated table that inspires conversation and sharing experiences.
Now with its fully stocked bar and masterful mixologist, the restaurant is a good choice for a latenight drink, offering several palatable cocktails at special prices.
Aiming to have the longest promotion of nightcaps, the menu comprises four cocktails, which are fundamentally classics with slight twists. If you feel like something fruity and tangy to cleanse the palate after a tasty meal, try Spritz Passion. Using vodka instead of wine as a base, it is a concoction of vanilla syrup, sweet and sour (half simple syrup and half lime juice), Schweppes lemon and lots of fresh passion fruit. While you don’t get a heavy  aroma of fruit, there is a nice balance both in the nose and palate of sweetness, sourness, fruitiness and a faint hint of vanilla along with the fizz of the lemon juice.
Another palatecleansing recipe is Schiedam Mule with ginger ale and ginger. The vodkabased cocktail is  sweet and sour, with a slight sharpness and peppery aftertaste of the fresh ginger that also gives off an earthy, soothing aroma. If you like your drink a bit dry, ask the bar to ease off on the sweet and sour as they tend to make it sweeter.
Whisky lovers might want to try Striding Collin, a Collins makeover with Scotch whisky, ginger ale, elderflower syrup and bitter. The whisky is not too overpowering while the floral note from the elderflower makes it a smooth and easytodrink cocktail. That little dash of bitter adds depths and aromatic tartness to the combination.
If you want to treat yourself to something a little more sugary, try Bob’s Bramble. With gin, sweet and sour, elderflower syrup and a dash of creme de cassis, the drink is pleasantly sweet and very fragrant, with tangy red berry flavours. Garnished with bramble and fresh strawberries, make sure to take a bite at add some fruitiness and even more aroma to the drink.
The cocktails are priced at Bt260 each. The menu also includes Carlsberg bottle at Bt180 and Chang at Bt150.
