Route 66 Bangkok
In short
Route 66 Bangkok is a four-room club on Royal City Avenue (RCA), open every night from 9pm to 4am.
The scorecard
Route 66 in six lines
Best on choice and value; on a packed Saturday, dance space is the squeeze.
- Music
- Hip-hop, K-pop, a live Thai band and EDM, each room with its own bar and sound.
- Crowd
- Young and mostly Thai, more locals than the tourist strips.
- Late
- Open until 4am every night, inside one of Bangkok's three 4am zones.
- Entry
- A small cash cover, often with a drink; big nights are ticketed.
- Dress
- No published dress code; smart casual is the easy choice.
- ID
- Strict ID checks; a laminated passport copy is safer than a phone photo.
Route 66 is the best first club for a mixed group at RCA: if half of you want hip-hop and half want EDM, nobody has to compromise. It gets going after 10pm and the room fills fast on a Saturday, so have Tanner book a table the afternoon before. Order a bottle for the table, the Thai way, and move between rooms all evening.
TannerThe rooms
Route 66 has four areas in one building: East, West, South and the outdoor Main Stage. Each plays its own sound, so the group splits up and meets again at the table.

How much is Route 66 entry?
The Route 66 entry fee is small, often with a drink included, and it's paid in cash: cards aren't always accepted at the door. Big nights are ticketed.
The club doesn't publish a dress code. Smart casual is the easy choice, especially if you're moving on to Onyx.
Bring your passport, because every big RCA club checks ID and the drinking age is 20. A laminated copy is safer than a photo on your phone.
Ask Tanner to put your name on the list so the group walks straight in.
When is Route 66 busiest?
Thursday already draws a proper crowd, so you don't have to wait for Saturday. Saturday is the busiest; go early if the group wants room to dance.
The biggest dates are the countdown and Songkran. In 2026 the club ran its Summer Party for six nights, 10 to 15 April, with ฿900 tickets sold at the door, and a Black Valentine's night on 14 February.
Ask Tanner early for the countdown and Songkran.
- Opens tonight at 9pm
- Daily, 9pm to 4am (the club)
- 29/33–48 Royal City Avenue Building, Soi Soonvijai, Rama 9 Road, Huai Khwang, Bangkok
- Daily, 9pm to 4am (the club)
- Hip-hop, K-pop and live bands, EDM
Is Route 66 or Onyx better?
Route 66 suits a mixed group that wants a bit of everything. Onyx, next door, is one big EDM room with a main stage.
Music: Route 66 splits hip-hop, live Thai bands, K-pop and EDM across four rooms. Onyx keeps one EDM sound on one big floor.
Crowd: Pick Route 66 when half the group wants hip-hop and half wants a live band. Pick Onyx when everyone wants the same big show.
Money: Route 66 takes a small cash cover at the door. At both clubs the club bills your table, and Tanner confirms the total for your date.
They sit side by side on Royal City Avenue, so start at Route 66 and finish at Onyx. Ask Tanner to hold a table at both.

Where is Route 66 in Bangkok?
Route 66 Bangkok is at 29/33–48 Royal City Avenue Building, Soi Soonvijai, Rama 9 Road, Huai Khwang. RCA has no train station on the strip; take a taxi or Grab from MRT Phra Ram 9 or Phetchaburi, and get dropped at the RCA entrance. Route 66 is the first club you see as you walk in.
Licensed entertainment venues in Bangkok and licensed venues inside hotels may open until 4am, TAT announced in December 2023; ordinary bars and restaurants close earlier, usually by 2am. The licensed clubs are in Silom, RCA and Ratchada.
Taxis are hard to find at 4am, so ask Tanner to keep a car waiting outside.
See every club on the strip, hour by hour, in our RCA guide, and start the evening in Thonglor or on Soi 11.
Where do you go before Route 66?
Before Route 66, start with dinner and drinks in Thonglor or on Soi 11, then take the car to RCA at about 9:30pm. After 4am, the car is waiting.
Next door is Onyx, and VOID, the big techno and progressive club, is close by in the same RCA and Rama 9 area.
Ask Tanner to plan the whole night, from dinner to the ride home.
What music does Route 66 play?
Route 66 plays hip-hop in East, Thai live bands and K-pop in West, EDM in South, and big-date shows on the open-air Main Stage. Doors open at 9pm, but the rooms get going after 10pm.
West is the room that feels most like Bangkok, and South is for when the group wants to dance hard. The Main Stage comes alive for the New Year countdown and Songkran.
Tanner's pick: start in West with the live band, then finish in South when the EDM takes over.
Ask Tanner which room to put your table in.
How do you plan a night at Route 66?
Plan a night at Route 66 as dinner in Thonglor, the cars to RCA at 9:30pm, then your own table before the Saturday rush, with every room open to the group.
The cars wait outside until 4am. Compare the other big rooms in our best clubs in Bangkok and the Bangkok nightlife guide.
