About Smilers in Thimphu.
Since 2018.
Founded by Chogyel of the Dungtu family. Run day to day by our manager, Jurmi. Right in the middle of Thimphu, next to Clock Tower Square.
A restaurant first, a bar close behind.
Mainly a Bhutanese kitchen, with international options for everyone at the table.
Chogyel opened Smilers on Norzin Lam in 2018. Today Jurmi runs the floor. The idea hasn’t changed: great Bhutanese and western food, cocktails, all the Bhutanese liquor and spirits, and really cozy vibes.
People love the BBQ chicken pizza, the hot chocolate and the coffee.
Find your corner.
Four ways to spend an evening at Smilers.
The wooden bar
A counter made for chit-chat with whoever’s pouring.
Stage & pit
Tables and chairs in front of the stage, where the music happens.
The booths
Comfortable booths for 4 to 8, with curtains when you want privacy.
The smoking terrace
A covered smoking area outside on the second floor, overlooking the busy roundabout and the road down towards the taxi stand.
Cocktails in Thimphu,
made for your kind of evening.
Good cocktails, easy conversation and a spot right next to Clock Tower Square.
Our bar brings together cocktail favourites and a personal touch. Start with a Mojito, Margarita or Whiskey Sour from the drinks list, or tell the team the flavours you enjoy and ask about a custom drink.
Make it an after-work catch-up, a date over dinner or a night out with friends in the centre of Thimphu. There is a kitchen to keep the table happy, and a bar to keep the good times going.
