12- 13 NOV - The Art of Korean Mixology: Guest Shift Welcomes Seoul’s Best Bartenders to ABar Rooftop

ABar Rooftop, the stylish alfresco lounge on the top floor of Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, has revealed details of its next two Guest Shifts, as highly-skilled mixologists from two of South Korea’s best bars prepare to dazzle guests with their creative cocktail-making skills.

Willy and John

On Thursday November 12, 2026, ABar Rooftop will welcome Willy and John from Gong Gan, the contemporary cocktail and whiskey bar which is housed in a traditional Korean hanok in the heritage-rich Jongno district of Seoul. Together, founder and owner Willy, who previously worked at Marriott and Four Seasons hotels in Korea, and head bartender John will present a selection of four original drinks that reflect Gong Gan’s signature sustainable style.

Guests can choose from Leto (Hendrick's gin, popcorn & Korean pear shrub and lime), Manchu (Hendrick's gin, coffee Campari and autumn apple cordial), Old Village (Monkey Shoulder whisky, quince & mugwort vermouth, Amaro Montenegro liqueur, Angostura bitters and Peychaud’s bitters) and Goga Gora (Sailor Jerry rum and handmade barley cola).
 

Haleem Kim

Then on Friday November 13, 2026, ABar Rooftop will welcome another Korean mixology icon when Haleem Kim, bar manager at Baccarat in Seoul, arrives for a one-night takeover. Winner of multiple awards, including the Korean Cup 2026 and Diageo World Class Korea in 2024, Haleem blends French artistry and Korean style at Baccarat, which is set in the city’s fashionable Gangnam district.

He will craft four cocktails for ABar Rooftop: Crystal Martini (Roku gin, vermouth, acacia, bee pollen, vinegar and red olive), Golden Bubble (Roku Sakura gin, Korean melon, jasmine, dill and Champagne), Fall, Falling (Haku vodka, cassis, rose, palo santo, hazelnut and camellia), and Josun Godfather (Toki whiskey, rice wine, pine nuts, burdock and chrysanthemum).

Both Guest Shifts will run from 20:30 to 23:30 hrs, with drinks priced at THB 420++ / THB 440++ per glass.

So, don’t miss these elevated evenings of mixology at ABar Rooftop, which is nestled on the 37th floor of Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, overlooking the glittering cityscape.
