Sing Sing Theater

What is it? This one channels a dreamlike vision of 1930s Shanghai through dim red lighting, retro-futuristic lanterns and theatrical performances that blur cabaret with club culture. Conceived by Ashley Sutton, also known for the original Iron Fairies and the now-shuttered Maggie Choo's, the venue unfolds across mezzanines, hidden corners and a grand staircase that doubles as a dramatic centrepiece. Every detail feels cinematic without feeling staged, creating a layered environment that shifts from dinner theatre to late-night dance space as the evening deepens.

Why we love it: Immersion arrives naturally, helped by performers weaving through the crowd and a design that encourages wandering. Programming stays adventurous rather than predictable, favouring respected selectors over mainstream EDM trends. International artists such as Sébastien Léger, Yokoo, Red Axes, Amine K and Technasia regularly appear when touring Asia, adding global perspective without sacrificing intimacy. Theatrical flair meets serious sound, giving each night a slightly surreal edge that feels unlike anywhere else in Bangkok.

Time Out tip: Dress with a hint of drama, many guests treat the night like an occasion.
