Crimson Room Bangkok Jazz & Cocktail Lounge
Crimson Room is one of Bangkok’s most atmospheric and elevated nightlife destinations: a swanky cocktail bar and live-music venue tucked inside Velaa Sindhorn Village, a luxury urban resort. If you’re looking for an immersive evening of sophisticated drinks, evocative decor, and memorable live jazz or cabaret-style music, Crimson Room delivers an experience rather than just a night out.
Location & Ambience
Location: Velaa Sindhorn Village, a stylish complex near Lumpini Park and Langsuan Road is centrally located yet tucked away from the city’s more tourist-heavy streets. The neighbourhood is well known for luxury hotels, fine dining, and cultural venues.
Vibe & Style:
Crimson Room’s interior channels the glamour of the Roaring Twenties and Art Deco cabaret era – think lush velvet seating, dramatic lighting, polished brass and dark woods, a performance stage built for intimate live shows, and a bar that visually anchors the space. The effect is both theatrical and comfortable: a place for celebration, date nights, or a special-occasion visit.
Unlike casual bars and pubs, Crimson Room sets expectations of theatre-meets-nightlife, picture a jazz club crossed with a luxe cabaret lounge.
Music & Program
Crimson Room regularly programmes live jazz and related music genres, but not necessarily strictly traditional jazz every night. The music lineup may include:
- Classic jazz trios and quartets
- Vocalists with jazz standards or interpretations
- Soul, blues, and cabaret-influenced sets
- Occasional theme or special showcase nights
Because the programming is curated and may change week to week, it’s recommended to check their Facebook or Instagram ahead of your visit for the most accurate performance schedule. Some nights are more lounge-oriented, others more performance-driven. Links to Crimson Room social media can be found at the top of this page.

Drinks, especially cocktails and premium spirits, reflect the level of craft and presentation – prices are noticeably higher than typical jazz bars or neighbourhood venues.
Minimum Spend / Entry:
You can expect a minimum spend policy (and occasional cover charges) on live-music nights. This is common for premium venues of this type – it reflects the curated entertainment, premium service, and table-oriented seating arrangement. Exact minimums may vary by day, event, or reservation type, so checking with the venue before arriving is recommended.
Dress Code: Smart casual to elegant: the venue’s atmosphere leans toward polished nights out rather than casual shorts and flip-flops.
