Tucked within the leafy grounds of InterContinental Phuket Resort, a new evening destination quietly reshapes Phuket’s nightlife scene. The newly opened Sipping Tiger introduces an intimate bar where design, atmosphere, and a quiet commitment to sustainability shape the experience.
DEN IT AGAINThe interiors evoke a modern hideaway inspired by the wilderness. Warm woods, woven textures, and rattan accents frame a softly lit bar counter designed for conversation and connection. Behind the counter, Thai bartenders Alif Abru and Kunawut Wongruen oversee a concise drinks programme rooted in local botanicals and thoughtful sourcing.
Ingredients such as Thai basil, calamansi, and fragrant herbs grown nearby inform the menu, resulting in cocktails that reflect the region’s flavours while maintaining a balanced, contemporary approach. For those seeking privacy, The Den offers a secluded 12-seat room with its own illuminated counter and chandelier centrepiece. Nearby, the Botanical Room showcases herbs cultivated on-site, reinforcing the bar’s connection to local produce and nature.
