Your front-row seat to the fireworks, your backstage pass to the party.
Welcome to the ultimate start of 2026.
Begin 2026 with Bangkok’s Most Breathtaking Skyline
Bangkok is a city built for celebration, and nowhere is that spirit more vibrant than on its famous rooftops. But when the year comes to a close, a select few destinations transform from simply bars into exclusive stages for one of the world’s most spectacular countdown events.
Dine above the city, capture the view, and savor every moment of New Year’s Eve in a setting that combines the romance of a golden-hour sunset (arrive between 5:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. to catch the magic) with the pulsating energy of a rooftop party new year celebration. A New Year’s Eve rooftop bar offers the perfect sanctuary, an escape from the dense street crowds of CentralWorld or ICONSIAM, granting you a panoramic, glittering vantage point of the countless firework displays that light up the metropolitan sky.
Above Eleven, set high above Sukhumvit Soi 11, is engineered for exactly this moment. As the city below shifts into countdown chaos, you’re enjoying an elevated experience where every detail, from the Peruvian-Japanese flavors to the signature Pisco cocktails, is curated for an unforgettable toast to 2026.
The Ultimate 360-Degree Firework Experience
What truly sets Above Eleven apart as a premier Rooftop Restaurant is the view. We don’t just face one direction; our open-air layout offers a breathtaking 360-degree panorama of the city.
Imagine standing at the railing with a cocktail in hand as midnight strikes. You aren’t limited to a single display. To your left, the riverside explodes in color; to your right, the Central Business District lights up; and all around you, the entire horizon of Bangkok erupts in celebration. It is a fully immersive visual feast where you are at the center of the action, watching the sky catch fire from every angle. This is the definitive Nye rooftop party experience, surrounded by the city’s energy, yet floating high above it all.
A Sky-High Dining Journey: Nikkei Flavors with a View
At Above Eleven, your New Year’s celebration begins with a dining journey unlike any other in Bangkok. We were the city’s pioneers of Nikkei cuisine, the exquisite fusion of Peruvian zest and Japanese precision, and for New Year’s Eve, this blend reaches its sophisticated peak.
While the 2026 menu is currently being perfected by our culinary team, guests can expect a lavish, multi-course set dinner similar to our previous triumphs. The experience typically flows from delicate amuse-bouches to rich, indulgent mains, designed to be savored slowly as the skyline view transforms from soft twilight glow to dazzling nocturnal spectacle.
- The Peruvian Kick: Expect vibrant starters that define us, such as fresh Cebiche variations or Causas (seasoned potato terrines) elevated with premium seafood like King Crab or scallops, blending citrus, spice, and aromatic chili.
- The Japanese Refinement: Our main courses showcase rich, complex flavors, often featuring premium Wagyu beef, fresh imported seafood like Chilean Cod, or grilled lamb chops paired with Peruvian sauces.
- Midnight Toast: As the hour approaches, your glass will be filled for the midnight toast, the perfect accompaniment to the fireworks exploding high above the city.
Recapping the Magic: A Glimpse of What’s to Come
While we keep our spectacular plans for 2026 undercover for just a little longer, we invite you to look back at the unforgettable energy of last year. Think of this as a teaser, a promise of the scale and quality you can expect when you book your New Year’s Eve rooftop bar experience with us.
The Above Eleven New Year’s Eve 2025 White Party set the standard for a glamorous Bangkok countdown. Guests, dressed brilliantly in all-white attire, enjoyed a powerful night of high-energy music and unparalleled views, anchored by a spectacular 5-Course Set Dinner Menu.
Last year’s guests indulged in a journey that included:
- Amuse Bouche: Tuna Otoro Tartare on crispy nori.
- Appetizers: Decadent options like Alaska King Crab Causa adorned with gold powder and ikura, or a Foie Gras and Wagyu Beef Sushi Roll with fresh truffle and miso glaze.
- The Mains: A choice between the buttery Cod Glacier 51 with black truffle potato mash or a perfectly grilled Wagyu MS 5/6 Striploin served with yuca mash and chimichurri.
- Dessert: The night ended on a sweet high with La Papa De Chocolate, a rich 70% dark chocolate creation with chocolate almond soil and raspberry compote.
- The Soundtrack: Resident DJ Rory and DJ Ploy kept the floor moving, spinning lively tracks from sunset deep house to late-night disco, maintaining the energy right up until the final count.
- The Moment: As the clock struck midnight, guests cheered, toasting new beginnings amidst the clear, direct views of the many firework displays lighting up the Bangkok skyline.
Stay tuned! Our 2026 theme and chef’s special menu details will be revealed soon,
promising to top even this incredible lineup.

Tips for Planning the Perfect Rooftop New Year Dinner
Making the most of your evening requires just a little forward-thinking.
- Book Immediately: New Year’s Eve is our most requested night of the year, and premium seats, especially those closest to the railings for the best views, book out months in advance. Planning is mandatory to secure your spot at our Rooftop Restaurant.
- Dress to Impress: While our standard is smart casual, the New Year’s theme calls for elevated attire. Dress in stylish, comfortable clothes suitable for dancing and taking iconic photographs.
- Arrive Early: We highly recommend arriving around 6:30 PM or earlier to catch Bangkok’s most stunning sunset perfectly. This allows you ample time to settle in, enjoy the initial signature cocktails, and savor the pre-sunset Golden Hour glow before the celebratory dining experience begins.
