Description: Magical underground cabaret full of mystery, romance, jazz, reminiscent of Shanghai 1930. Maggie Choo's was named after Shanghai cabaret owner who fled her hometown in 1931 following the Japanese invasion that tore the city. Shortly after arriving in Bangkok, she found a 19th century Thai Chinese shoe box restaurant crammed into a basement 10 meters below Silom road serving authentic Thai chinese shophouse food. When one day, she discovered behind the walls in the corner of the restaurant an entrance that lead to a derelict 19th century East India company bank built in 1847 used for storing porcelain and spices that the British used to carry back to England for Queen Victoria, her past caught up with her and she converted the old bank into a cabaret, just like when she used to back in Shanghai. Today the cabaret is yet to be revived again...

Entrance was 1900 TB for a table and bottle of wine. Very amature show, where the entertainment was very shabby and not entertaining for thhe cost. Not worth a visit.

日曜日は、入場料300B(1ドリンク込)でゲイナイトが開催。カクテルで350Bとかするためか、客層はDJステーションとはまた違う印象。22時ころに行ったが、そこそこのお客さんの数。1時間ごと、12時までクイーンたちのショーやお客さん参加型のゲームが代わる代わるあります。
On Sunday, they host the gay night. The entrance fee is 300B includes 1 drink. I visited around 10 pm and found it packed with local hipsters and tourists from so many countries. Skilled and talented queens have gorgeous performances and some games with audiences hourly. So, you will not be bored even if you are alone and bad at socializing.

Ordered a Manhattan and after waiting quite some time, I found out they hadn't managed stock of ingredients well enough to be able to serve cocktails on a Friday night. Whiskey selection was good though, so not a lost cause really. If the live band wasn't amazing, I'd probably have just left.

Another bar designed by Ashley Sutton.
The whole bar deco is cool with several private bar tables behind some heavy metal doors.
We are lucky enough to experience the sunday gay night.
$500 bhats for two standard drinks, more importantly they have a drag queen contest running all night.
Very unique experience to see all these beautiful women with penises in costumes.
Funny show!

A good live band and DJ makes this nightclub in Silom worth going to.. reputation is raunchier than it actually is..
