Sukhumvit 11 is the center of it all.

And the best party street in Bangkok.

Once the sun goes down, this 800-meter-long street just a short walk from BTS Nana transforms into a hotspot of Bangkok’s hottest nightlife.

With classy rooftop bars, creative cocktail bars, a large choice of restaurants, and busy nightclubs, this Soi has something for everyone.

So how do you get the best out of the night?

We’ll show you the best places to party to ensure you have a fun night on Sukhumvit 11.

Rooftop Bars

Each rooftop bar in Soi 11 tends to cater to a different crowd.

More importantly, there is almost ALWAYS a dress code, not only in rooftop bars but also at nightclubs, and even at some cocktail bars.

So dress accordingly.

Avoid open shoes, shorts, sleeveless shirts, and beachwear or sportswear.

No matter what rooftop bar of Soi 11 you choose, you can’t go wrong.

They all have a panoramic view of the city, world-class service, and a lot of people drinking and partying.

Pastel

Pastel is located on the 22nd floor of the Aira hotel.

The rooftop bar has a unique style that makes it a place that you should absolutely try.

Its Mediterranean style extends to the food, the drinks, but also the atmosphere.

Go there during sunset to enjoy an incredible view of the city with one of their amazing cocktails.

Or go there around 8 PM or later to see the restaurant turning into a lively bar with DJ, dancers, and live percussion.

Pastel is the top spot to start the night in Soi 11.

Above Eleven

Located on the 33rd floor of Fraser Suites, Above 11 tends to draw in expats more than Thais.

This is due to salsa night and other events during the week here.

Above Eleven offers a great view of the city and their talented mixologists serve up any cocktail you like.

It’s not too loud either.

So it’s a great bar to get your pre-drinks on or take someone on a romantic date.

Nest

Nestled on the top floor of Le Fenix Hotel is Nest.

This rooftop bar tends to draw business-oriented individuals as it’s relaxed and chilled.

Nest is ideal for an impromptu business meeting before it gets busy.

They offer Spanish tapas and Thai classics to enjoy on their menu.

There’s also a diverse selection of beer and cocktails.

It’s another great pre-drink paradise to check out.

The outstanding views are just the icing on the cake.

Lush Rooftop

Lush is located above Hemingways, a popular restaurant for both expats and tourists.

It’s a great place to hang out with pals or on a date.

The interior feels like an urbanized jungle, with lots of funky art and furniture to play with.

You can expect reasonably priced drinks here, and a few different options to eat.

Cocktail Bars

There is no better way to start a night than with cocktails.

Most of the rooftop bars and restaurants listed in this post have incredible cocktails.

But Soi 11 also has amazing cocktail bars that are great to enjoy fine drinks and partying.

Havana Social

Havana Social design and concept are inspired by Cuba’s pre-revolution era.

With dim lighting, exposed beams, and classic rum cocktails, you might feel like you have stepped back into the 1940s.

Even the staff dress like during this era, making this bar really one to remember.

There is no signage or front door, but there is a retro phone booth.

Call Havana Social, and you will get the entry code which you then enter, and a secret door will open to access the bar.

The place is big inside, with a large area to dance to Latino songs played by DJs or live bands.

Head upstairs if you want to catch a break and smoke a cigar.

One Two Two Club

Inspired by 122 rue de Provence in Paris, one of the most famous brothels in France in the 1930’s, this cocktail bar is unlike any other in Bangkok.

The red interior and sofas offer a cozy atmosphere and make it the perfect place to bring your date.

But with a DJ every night, playing everything from Electro pop to nu-disco, One Two Two is also a great place to party until 2 AM if nightclubs aren’t your thing.

Beer Bars

There are a lot of options to grab a cold beer in Sukhumvit Soi 11, but the 2 beer gardens along the street are definitely the options that stand out.

Beer Bar Complex

Opposite the Ambassador hotel is a large beer bar complex with a dozen bars.

Some have girls to keep you company, others have pool tables, and others have food.

But what they all have in common is that they all have cheap local and international beers on the menu.

They’re ideal to chill after a long day exploring the city.

Live Music Bars

Bangkok is full of talented musicians and bands playing all kinds of music.

It’s a paradise for anyone who likes live music.

While Soi 11 offers just about everything, its live music is often the most overlooked aspect of the area.

So instead of going from bar to bar, why not stop, unwind, and live in the moment with live music?

The Golden Giraffe

The Golden Giraffe is replacing the famous Apoteka bar that for years has been the best live music bar in Soi 11.

The bar host different live bands every night so you can see all style of music there from blues to jazz, or even rock.

Hillary is a popular brand in Bangkok, with many locations.

But no matter which one you go to, the vibe is always inviting.

For people on a budget, it’s also incredibly cheap.

Hillary 3 is a good spot to go if you are on your own and looking to socialize.
