Open 17:00-02:00 / Closed Tuesday
Good cocktails, a long list of Belgian beer, and food to go with both. There are board games, ping pong and darts upstairs, trivia, Sip & Sing, and a language exchange where you can practise your Thai on real people.
Bring your friends, or come on your own. We'll pull you into a trivia team or a card game, and by midnight you'll know half the bar.

In Thai, Jib means to sip. Say "Jib Jib Joy Joy" out loud right now. See? It's scientifically proven to make you sound 20% more fun. Some people pronounce it with a squeaky high pitch like "Jeep Jeep Joy Joy," which is also completely fine and fun. But the name actually comes from the popular Thai going-out slang: "Tonight, let's just sip and enjoy."
Wear whatever you like and stay as long as you like. Plenty of nights end at 1am with a karaoke duet between two people who met at the bar that evening.

Who is responsible for this?
I grew up in Bangkok, but spent a huge chunk of my life being the "new kid" in Canada, Ecuador, the US, the Netherlands, and Belgium. I've done the whole awkwardly-standing-in-the-corner routine in more time zones than I can count.
Along the way, I've built a beautifully chaotic resume: I've survived being a waitress, checked people in as a hostel receptionist, worked as a language tutor, and even hustled as a real estate agent. If doing all those wildly different jobs taught me anything, it's how to talk to absolutely anyone, and that a city only feels like home once you meet the right people.
So, I built the bar I always desperately wanted to find. A tiny place down Sukhumvit 22 where you can walk in completely alone, immediately get handed a trivia sheet or a board game, and leave wondering how you just spent three hours laughing your head off with a total stranger.
Honestly, I'm a super extrovert who has been to a lot of bars, and I really just want whoever is reading this to come sip and enjoy at my place. It's so much fun!
