Liquid Room
Liquid Room is a smaller, dance-floor-focused nightclub on Nimmanhaemin Soi 13 with a younger Thai-and-expat crowd, heavy neon-light setup, and hip-hop and EDM programming until 2 AM. The venue runs a single main room with the DJ booth at one end, a long bar along the side, and a packed dance floor that compresses hard on weekends. Capacity sits around 250, smaller than Warm Up but enough to feel like a real club. Drink pricing is mid-range: beer 130-180 THB, cocktails 220-300 THB, no cover most weeknights with a 200-300 THB cover on Friday and Saturday. The crowd skews 20s and early 30s, with a noticeable Chiang Mai University student presence.

Insider Tip
Get there before 11 PM to skip the cover. The room runs hot once it fills; the bar near the door is faster than the one near the DJ booth. Bolt back to your hotel after closing; tuk-tuks outside Soi 13 quote inflated rates.
Full Review
Liquid Room sits in the middle of Nimmanhaemin Soi 13, with the entrance unmarked beyond a neon sign and a small bouncer-checked queue area. Inside, the layout is straightforward: a single rectangular room with the DJ booth at the far end, a long bar along the right wall, and the dance floor filling the center. Booth seating runs along the left wall for groups. Capacity feels around 250 when fully packed.
The music programming runs hip-hop and EDM with resident local DJs through the week and occasional Bangkok visitors on weekends. The sound system is mid-tier but adequate for the room size; the bass hits cleanly on the dance floor. The lighting rig leans heavily on neon and laser, with the room running darker than Warm Up or Myst MAYA.
Compared to Warm Up, Liquid Room is smaller, looser, and pulls a notably younger crowd. The student presence from Chiang Mai University down the road is heavy, and the late-arrivals after Warm Up closes at 2 AM keep the room going. Compared to Myst MAYA, Liquid Room is much less polished, but cheaper and easier to access without dress-code drama.
Drink spiking has been reported at Liquid Room over the past few years. Keep drinks in hand, refuse open drinks from strangers, and travel with friends. The bouncers run a basic bag check at the door and respond to obvious problems on the floor.
The Neighborhood
Liquid Room sits on Nimmanhaemin Soi 13 a few minutes north of the Warm Up Cafe stretch. The surrounding Soi 13 cluster runs more student-focused than the cocktail bars on Sois 5, 7, and 9 to the south.
Getting There
From the Old City, 12 minutes by Bolt at around 100 THB. From Maya Mall, three minutes south on Nimmanhaemin and east on Soi 13. From central Nimman cocktail bars on Sois 5-9, five minutes' walk north.
