Live music bar on Sukhumvit Soi 24, in the room that traded as Highroll until 2026. Bands play nightly and the place runs until 3am.

Echo opened in July 2026 inside the Town Hall complex on Sukhumvit 49, a short walk from BTS Phrom Phong, and quickly became one of the area's most talked-about new clubs. The room is built like a cave: sculpted, sand-toned concrete walls and a vaulted ceiling that curves down over a long backlit bar, with an arched frosted-glass back wall stacked with premium bottles and a large LED screen washing the stepped main floor in light. Resident DJs run a hip-hop-led open-format set, with live singers taking over between them. Bottle-service tables ring the floor and reservations go through the club's LINE account. Open nightly from 8 PM until 3 AM.

An open-air food and drink complex at the deep end of Sukhumvit 24, built around a curved copper bar under palms and woven pendant lamps. Several independent kitchens and bars share the same yard, which makes it a place to sit down and settle in rather than a single bar to pass through. Live performances run Tuesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and the yard is open from 7am to 2am every day. The nightclub Upper House sits in the same complex, and 24 BLVD shares an operator with Baccarat and House of Savoy further along the soi.

Ratch Hour sits in the Ratchayothin underpass on the Chatuchak side of Phahonyothin Road and is the busiest of the local rooms clustered around the BTS station. Reviewers call it one of the hottest clubs in the area and remark on how rarely a tourist turns up: the crowd is almost entirely local and mostly under 25, and the floor fills on weeknights as readily as on Fridays. The room is a wide curved space wrapped in neon-edged banquettes, with the bar at the back, a DJ booth, and a stage that also takes live bands, under lighting that swings the whole floor between purple, green and red across the night. The music is open format across Thai and international pop, played loud and aimed at dancing rather than conversation, and the sound system gets its own mentions. Drinks are ordered from tablets at the table and the kitchen sends out Thai bar snacks alongside. Several practical points come up again and again in reviews: tables genuinely need reserving, there is a dress code at the door, ice is billed separately, and some guests report being pushed toward a bottle rather than ordering by the glass. Booking runs through the venue's own site or its LINE account, and it is one of the few rooms in this cluster with a working website at all.

Jalwa Club Bangkok opened on 17 June 2026 underneath the Hyatt Regency at the mouth of Sukhumvit Soi 13, and is the Bangkok branch of the Jalwa club on Pattaya's Walking Street. It calls itself The Billionaire's Bastion and it is an Indian club: the DJs run Bollywood and Punjabi sets, and reviewers name that programming as the reason they came. The room is a full production club rather than a bar, with LED walls and lit ceiling panels, moving-head beams and lasers over a dance floor that runs up to a raised stage, and the resident DJs alternate through the night with live singers and dancers. It opens at 9pm and runs to 4am every day, and tables are taken by phone. Note that the clubjalwa.com address carried on the Google listing belongs to the Pattaya club and describes that venue, not this one; the Bangkok branch publishes through its own Instagram account.

Tempo calls itself The Social Bar and sits in a shophouse on Ari Soi 4 North, its facade papered edge to edge with its own posters and flyers. Inside is one small room of mismatched tables under an art-covered wall, a bar at the back and a corner that turns into a stage most nights. The programme is the point: the venue publishes a monthly line-up on Instagram running a band from around eight, a second act from ten and a resident DJ from midnight until late, tagged pop, Thai disco and jazz hip-hop, alongside Oldies Nights, free multi-band concerts that run from five in the afternoon to one in the morning, and one-off tie-ins with the Soi Ari festival and the Think Fest swap weekends. The food is deep-fried and unapologetic about it, with beers and cocktails alongside; typical spend is 400 to 600 baht a head. The bar is pet-friendly and marked LGBTQ+ friendly on its own listing, and takes reservations online. Google publishes no weekly opening table for it, only that it closes at two.

Roleplay is a bar and karaoke room on the second floor of The Hub on Phahonyothin, easy to walk past because the only sign is upstairs. The room is finished in red locker panels with the ROLEPLAY logo in neon along the wall and the ceiling, a bar down one side and low tables in the middle stacked with board games and card decks; the venue's own tagline is drink, drunk, dance. Live music runs Friday and Saturday, a duo or a small band in the 20:45 to 22:15 slot, with DJ sets and themed nights such as a K-pop hour filling the rest of the week. A separate karaoke room takes up to twenty people and is charged by the hour from 350 baht. The kitchen keeps a short list of Thai bar dishes in the 128 to 238 baht range. It is a small place, 4.9 over a modest number of reviews, and it opens Tuesday to Saturday only. Tables and the karaoke room go through the venue's LINE account.

Close Friend, signed CF, is a DJ bar on the third floor of a building on Phahonyothin Road in Chan Kasem, and it is the most club-shaped room in the Ratchayothin cluster. The floor is built around a circular DJ booth clad in exposed aggregate with a curved LED screen wrapping the wall behind it, washed green, blue and magenta, and the crowd stands around the booth rather than sitting at tables. The review keywords are almost entirely about the DJ, and reviewers describe the room as mostly students; booths get busy enough that people report waiting for one. Drinks run to bottle service with mixers and ice buckets on low tables around the edge, and there is a short kitchen list alongside. The room is on the third floor of the Banpuen Ratchayothin building, and the venue's own Facebook page gives the door as eight in the evening onward without naming a closing time; Google lists it as open around the clock, which is the listing rather than a schedule. No weekly hours are recorded here until the closing time is confirmed.

Thachang is the loud, cheap end of the Avenue Ratchayothin block, a pub with the round ท่าช้าง logo burning on an LED wall behind the DJ and green lasers over a floor of long shared tables. Drinks arrive by the pitcher with a bowl of snacks, the bar runs a wall of bottles with several staff pouring at once, and reviewers are consistent about the trade-off: the music is good and the drinks are cheap, but on a busy night the queue outside can run for hours and people do get turned away. Its own Facebook page, which carries 26,000 followers, gives the hours as six in the evening to two in the morning every day; Google's listing still says midnight. Typical spend is 200 to 1,000 baht a head.

Thonglor's newest music bar, open since 4 September 2026 on the fourth floor of Market Place Thonglor. The venue runs a live band and a DJ every night it opens and describes its own music as deliberately varied rather than tied to one genre. The room is built around a stage, with seated tables and standing room around it, and you can start at the bar without booking a table. Drinks only, there is no kitchen. Eight signature cocktails run 380 to 440 baht and several of them come as a mocktail for 300. Tables run on a minimum spend, from 5,000 baht Sunday and Tuesday to Thursday and from 8,000 on Friday and Saturday, with VAT and service already included and a deposit that comes off the first bill; the standing zone at the bar has no minimum on those weeknights. The opening weekend ran The Parkinson by invitation on the 4th and WIM on the 5th, and the first AMBR. Day Session brought Jesse Barrera in for an afternoon show on 14 September. Reservations run through the LINE account.

A rooftop bar on the tenth floor of the Pichaiyart Building on Mungkorn Road, reached through the building rather than off the street, which is where the hidden-bar tag comes from. The terrace is covered and glazed on one side so it stays open when it rains, and it looks out over the low roofs of Chinatown to the towers beyond. A DJ plays most nights, mostly house, and the kitchen sends out Thai plates - beef with dipping sauce, lychee skewers, southern-style chicken - alongside the cocktails. Open every night from 5.30pm to midnight.

A balcony bar on the third floor of the Merchant Gate Hotel above Song Wat Road, open from late afternoon rather than only at night. Inside, the bar sits under a full wall of records with the bottles lined up along the counter in front of them; outside, a handful of tiled tables look down over the Song Wat rooftops and a temple roof. Vinyl plays through the afternoon and DJs take over later. Cocktails run off a printed classics-and-signatures card, and it opens every day from 4pm to 11.30pm.

A lounge spread across the third and fourth floors of Gaysorn Amarin in Ratchaprasong, reachable on the skybridge from BTS Chit Lom. The design takes the Hanging Gardens of Babylon as its cue: curved timber tiers, planting spilling over every level and an open-air terrace on top. It runs on a Taste of Time idea, so the room changes character through the day - brunch and coffee in the Sky Lobby, wine and aperitivo at the Salone Bar from late morning, and from 5pm the Ionic Terrace and Pollen Bar, where the cocktails are built on flowers and botanicals and live music and DJs rotate through the evening. Contemporary tapas run alongside. Open every day from 8am to midnight.

A club on the 5M floor of EmSphere, the Bangkok room of the 404 Club brand, which the venue says runs in more than 30 cities. The floor is built around a central DJ booth with the crowd packed against it on three sides and table seating stepped up behind, all lit red and washed with laser and strobe. It opens Thursday to Sunday from 9.30pm to 3.30am, so it is a late room rather than an early one, and tables and bottle service are booked ahead through the LINE account.

A two-part bar off Trok Bowonrangsi a few minutes from Khao San Road: a graffitied, neon-lit room downstairs reached through an unmarked entrance, and an open rooftop above it strung with lights and red lanterns over the Rattanakosin roofline. The signature drinks are served as shareable buckets with rubber ducks and toy garnishes floating in them, and the room keeps games out on the tables. It opens 6.30pm to 2am and is closed on Wednesdays.

A basement-feeling bar off Thara Rom 2 behind Ekkamai, red-lit and covered in mural work, with a long counter down one side and enough floor left over to dance on. It runs as a music bar first - the same people keep a record store under the name - and the room fills late with house and DJ sets rather than a live band. Spirits are poured off a printed liquor list, beer is cheap, and there is a covered smoking area. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 6pm to 2am, closed Sunday and Monday.

A music bar on Maitri Chit Road in Chinatown, reached up a green-lit stair off the alley, which describes itself as a place to temporarily drink and dance. The room is small and dark with a full bar down one wall and space cleared in front of it, and DJ line-ups run late - Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday to 1am, Friday and Saturday to 3am. Drinks are a short printed card of cocktails, beer, gin and whisky rather than a signature list, and bigger nights are ticketed in advance.
