Bulwark Ratchaphruek Bulwark ราชพฤกษ์

Bulwark sits at 53 Ratchaphruek Road in Taling Chan and works as two different places depending on the hour. It opens at 14:00, so the afternoon crowd uses it as a cafe; after dark it becomes a bar with draught and bottled beer, and one Wongnai reviewer reports live music on Friday and Saturday nights.

The menu is Western comfort food with Thai touches. Wongnai members single out angel hair stir-fried with dried chilli and grilled pork neck at 320 baht, a mixed mushroom and truffle pizza at 420, spaghetti carbonara at 340, fish and chips with tartar sauce at 420, a spicy grilled pork neck salad at 350 and paprika fries at 170. Wongnai's tier is 251 to 500 baht a head, though some reviewers paid more. You can bring your own wine for a corkage fee of 300 baht a bottle.

Reviewers praise the atmosphere and the service, and one liked how few people were there. The complaints repeat: portions are small for the price and some dishes come out slowly. Google shows 4.8 from 468 reviews.

Most people arrive by car. Reviewers describe a lot at the side and an open area behind the building, roughly 10 to 20 cars in all.
