Above Eleven Bangkok

Up on the 33rd floor

Which floor is Above Eleven on? The 33rd floor of Fraser Suites Sukhumvit: the bar's own site lists the 33rd floor as its address, at 38/8 Sukhumvit Soi 11. The rooftop is laid out like a city park, and the men's room has a floor-to-ceiling window over the city.

The Above Eleven menu is Nikkei, Peruvian food made with Japanese hands. The restaurant does the dinner, the bar does the pisco sours and the DJ, and the tables at the edge go first.

Ask Tanner which floor suits your group: the dinner tables or the bar.

What is the dress code?

The Above Eleven Bangkok dress code is smart casual, the bar's own site says: no sandals or tank tops for men, and sports jerseys stay at home.

Men do well in long trousers or smart shorts, a shirt or a smart T-shirt, and closed shoes. Women wear a dress, a smart top or jeans.

The drinking age is 20, so bring your passport.

Unsure about an outfit? Ask Tanner before you head out.

Do you need to book a table?

An Above Eleven Bangkok reservation is how you get a table for dinner. Book about a week ahead, because the food is the draw, and it's hard to get a table without one, even for two.

Only after a drink? There's plenty of standing room at the bar.

For a group, take dinner at about 6pm, keep the table when the DJ starts, then walk down to the Soi 11 clubs.

Ask Tanner to book the table for your date.

When is the best time to go?

Come at about 6pm, when the sun drops behind the towers and the city turns gold below you.

Once the DJ starts, the room fills fast.

Tanner's pick: come at 6 and keep the table when the music turns up. You get the sunset and the party.

Ask Tanner to hold the table from 6.

A different sound every evening

Each evening has its own sound: Latin and salsa on Wednesday, hip-hop on Thursday and Afro house at the weekend.

Pick the night by the music your group likes, and keep an eye on the bar's own pages for one-off parties.

Ask Tanner which night fits your group.

What to drink

Order the pisco sour. It's Peru's national cocktail, and they make it properly here, not watered down.

Start with a pisco sour at sunset, take a cocktail with the ceviche, and keep the table when the DJ starts.

The cocktails taste gentle but they're strong, so pace the table.

Ask Tanner to have the first round waiting when you sit down.

Above Eleven or Sky Bar?

Above Eleven wins for dinner, a DJ and a late finish. Sky Bar, at lebua, wins for the famous river view.

Most groups do Sky Bar for one drink, then Above Eleven for the evening.

See every rooftop side by side in our best rooftop bars in Bangkok.

For Thonglor, see our Octave guide; for a higher view, our MahaNakhon SkyWalk guide.

Ask Tanner to split the evening between the two.

Getting there

The Above Eleven rooftop bar is at Fraser Suites Sukhumvit, 38/8 Sukhumvit Soi 11. Nana is the nearest BTS station, and a Grab drops you at the hotel.

Easier still, your own car: the driver waits on Soi 11 and takes the group on to the clubs.

Ask Tanner to keep the driver on the soi.

After the rooftop

Soi 11 is right below, so the rest of the evening is a short walk away.

• Levels, the club on the same soi.
• Sugar Club, the hip-hop club a short walk down Soi 11.
• The soi itself, with bars and clubs from dinner to late, in our Sukhumvit Soi 11 guide.

Ask Tanner which club to finish in.

Is it safe?

It's a hotel rooftop with staff on every floor, and Soi 11 stays busy and lit late.

Watch your drink and check the bill before you pay. Pick one meeting point before the group splits between the rooftop and the clubs. The Tourist Police answer in English on 1155, any time.

Ask Tanner to have a driver waiting for the ride home.

Your evening, planned

Your table at Above Eleven from about 6pm: the sunset, then dinner, then stay on when the DJ starts. Sky Bar can wait for another evening.

To finish, your own table at Levels on the same soi, with the car outside to take everyone home.

Here for a stag? Our Bangkok bachelor party plan builds the whole weekend around evenings like this.

Plan it with Tanner.
