Originally from Bangkok, Thailand, The Iron Fairies was created by Ashley Sutton and has since expanded to Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Bali, and Manila, bringing its fantasy-driven bar concept to multiple cities. Inspired by old Australian mines, Sutton transformed his background in mining, steelwork, and children’s book illustrations into a bar concept where fantasy and industrial design converge.
Inside, the venue is defined by aged ovens, furnaces, metal fairies, and more than 10,000 suspended butterflies, one of its most iconic visual elements. The intricate interiors are layered with storytelling, metalwork, and handcrafted details that give the space its dreamlike atmosphere.
