    SING SING THEATER appears to be more of a 1930s Shanghai hotel lobby than a bar or club, but don't be fooled by the retro-futuristic Chinese lanterns, red low lighting, or delicately carved metal screens — SING SING THEATER packs a punch!
    A small central dance floor, several bars, mezzanines, "hidden" backrooms, and several single-table balconies are scattered throughout the venue. Almost every night of the week, you'll hear something new, from Old School Hip Hop to House and Trance.
    • Levels Club & Lounge

    Levels Club & Lounge is one of Bangkok's most well known clubs. It is renowned for its opulent ambience, VIP service, impressive music, and entertainment options. Levels frequently hosts live performances and international artists. The atmosphere and experience of Levels is well worth the higher cover charge and drink prices compared to most clubs in Bangkok!
