Merai

Taking its name from the Thai word for alcohol, Merai keeps drinks as the clear priority rather than positioning itself as a full dinner destination. The room pairs an elevated yet unassuming feel with an energy that can lean loud, balanced by attentive service. To accompany the glassware, the kitchen sends out small plates and snacks, including a garlic-sweet Thai sausage hot dog, chicken wings, onigiri, and beet salad.
