Route 66 Nightclub

Route 66, one of Bangkok’s longest-standing nightclubs that has been operating for decades, serves as the main attraction in RCA (Royal City Avenue). While it is particularly popular among the younger Thai university crowd, it has also gained recent popularity among tourists.

With four distinct dance floors catering to various music genres ranging from EDM to Thai rock, Route 66 offers a diverse selection to suit different musical preferences. Whether you’re a fan of high-energy electronic beats or enjoy the local sounds of Thai rock music, you’re bound to find something that resonates with your taste. The cover charge for entry is 200 baht, which includes a complimentary drink, adding value to your nightclub experience.

When we visited, the club at RCA was slightly crowded, although not as bustling as it may have been in the pre-pandemic years. Nonetheless, it remained a recommended destination. The music quality was impressive, and the drink prices were reasonable, ensuring a satisfying night out. It’s worth noting that prior to entering, an antigen test is required, typically priced around 100 baht, as a precautionary measure.

The club offers an enjoyable atmosphere with great music, and admission tickets are priced at 300 baht per person. For those seeking a more exclusive experience, it is possible to secure a table by purchasing a bottle of whiskey for approximately 5,000 baht. Considering the overall experience and offerings, this represents a decent value for the price. However, it is advisable to arrive early, particularly on weekends when the club tends to get quite busy.

To summarize, Route 66 stands as a renowned nightclub in Bangkok, attracting both local university students and tourists alike. With its four distinct dance floors featuring a range of music genres, it caters to diverse musical tastes. The entry fee includes a complimentary drink, adding to the appeal. While the club may get crowded at times, it remains a recommended venue, offering good music and reasonably priced drinks. If you plan to visit, be aware of the requirement for an antigen test before entry and consider arriving early on weekends to secure a table.
