Lennon's at Rosewood Hotel

While Rosewood Hong Kong's Darkside serves up whisky, it's pretty much a hotel bar — it can't escape the feel of being the standard hotel bar across many cities. As usual, on any given night, it's the random mix of partygoers that will lend it the unique vibes of that particular night. I only went because I knew that the girlfriends would enjoy the vibes and the band playing easy jazz and uhhh soft rock. 

Now, Rosewood Bangkok's Lennon's is a bar I wanted to check out. Sited at Level 30, it's a whisky bar tucked behind shelves of vinyls! The bar had a lovely collection of vinyls from many singers, and a few shelves of very cute and nostalgic 8-Bit mixtapes! I spent quite a bit of time here before meeting the friends and after saying goodnight to them.

Lennon's is another hotel bar, but with slightly more character because of the space and effort allocated to the vinyl shelves. That area serves as a private table/corner as well. Unfortunately the DJ that night wasn't very good. His selection of music was extremely pedestrian. Like Top 40s. Terrible. We were seated right next to him, and I could see his line-up. There were so many other choices of genre, but he stuck to boomer music. OMG. WHYYYYyy. I wished he had played something by Phoebe Snow.  

We had ourselves a small party in the corner. Then I realized how local the crowd was that night. Every table around us spoke in both English and Thai. Ours too. Heh! None of us overdid on the alcohol. A few of the friends had an early morning flight to catch, so we took it easy. I stuck to an easy Balvenie Doublewood 12 y.o. Chilling out with these friends whom I've missed so very much, and ignoring the pedestrian music, it felt like, home. มันให้ความรู้สึกเหมือนอยู่บ้านอย่างแน่นอน
