Low seats, green tones, tiled surfaces, a bar close by. Thai and Mexican ideas run through the food, chilli, lime, coriander, smoke, fermented dressings, tortillas, while the bar keeps agave at the centre. Come in for one drink, end up with tacos, order something smoky, pretend this was the plan.

Pork jowl taco with nahm jim jaew pla ra and coriander. Pork jowl is prized in Thai cooking, at LOS, it’s grilled slowly so the fat renders and the edges crisp, then dressed with a fermented fish nahm jim jaew — a Thai dipping sauce built on chilli, lime, fish sauce, herbs and deep savoury funk. The Mexican side comes through in the tortilla.

At LOS, that rhythm starts behind the counter: agave on the shelves, citrus on the board, drinks moving through hands, and bartenders reading the room one order at a time. It’s bright, and a little unruly in the best way — the kind of upstairs bar that knows how to turn one drink into an evening.

LOS is made for the part of the night where everything gets a little warmer. Upstairs, the room gathers around low light, green banquettes, full tables, and the glow of the bar. It has that slightly hidden feeling, tucked away, lively, easy to settle into, with enough movement to feel alive and enough comfort to make staying put very appealing.

Fish cake, fried until crisp, the flavour sits firmly in Thai cooking. Springy, savoury, a bit of sweetness, that familiar fish cake texture dialled up. The idea comes from somewhere simple. Western snack structure, Thai flavour doing the heavy lifting.

Behind the bar at LOS, the night keeps as smooth as the bar top. Bottles down, glasses up, citrus, salt, ice, agave, and the kind of service that keeps the room feeling loose without ever losing its shape. The back bar is built around depth and curiosity. Come with a favourite, or come with no idea at all, either way, the bar is ready to point and pour somewhere good.

LOS at its best. People tucked into booths, drinks landing, conversation lifting as the afternoon goes on. It’s intimate without being quiet, playful without trying too hard, and built for the kind of afternoon that doesn’t need a fixed plan. Come upstairs, find a seat, let the room do what it does.

Jalapeño Business. Mango, vodka, lime, mint, jalapeño, soda. It's built like a highball but dialled in. Sweetness from the mango, acid from lime, heat from the jalapeño, all kept in check with length and carbonation. It reads playful with its light, fizzy, easy — but it’s doing a bit more underneath. Balanced properly, so it holds up past the first sip and long into those evenings.

The table, a few drinks in. Cocktails catching the light, conversation already a little louder than it was twenty minutes ago. Citrus, ice, salt, smoke, something bright, something bitter, something ordered on a recommendation and immediately claimed by someone else. The room does the rest.

Guac and chips, reworked. Instead of avocado, we use taro. Steamed down and mixed with tomato, shallots, chilli, it gives that same creamy base but with a bit more weight and texture. From there it shifts. Snake bean seasoning, heat, a sharper edge. The kind of flavour profile you’d expect from Thai cooking, layered into something that still reads familiar on the table. Corn chips on the side, fried crisp. A crossover that was meant to be.
