The buzz: The new generation of pubs and restaurants popping up on Sukhumvit Soi 11 shows no signs of slowing down. The latest is Above Eleven, a brand new rooftop bar and restaurant up on the 32nd floor of the Fraser Suites. Perhaps in a bid to stand apart from the crowd, Above Eleven has adopted the slightly out there concept of Peruvian-Japanese fusion cuisine, better known as ‘Nikkei cuisine’ in Peru. Here, it comes served alongside cocktails that have an equal focus on South American and Japanese spirits.

The buzz: Located on the 24th and 25th floor of the freshly opened boutique Hotel Muse in Lang Suan, the Speakeasy follows the 1920s theme of the hotel with some prohibition era chic and a focus on serving classic cocktails.The décor: Welcome to Boardwalk Empire. Level 24 is just a small balcony with a petite bar in the middle surrounded by stools. For something more leisurely, crash into monochrome sofas and take in the 180-degree views of the city. Up on the rooftop, fake grass and garden seats await, for when the summer heat is finally over.

The buzz: While you may think, “No, not another rooftop bar, and don’t they know it’s rainy season?” Blue Sky Bar is actually a novelty in this part of town where the craze hasn’t quite arrived yet. Part of Sofitel Centara Hotel’s ongoing renovation, the bar has taken over the former top executive floor, affording rare panoramic views of Bangkok.
