High above the bustling, energetic streets of Thailand’s capital city, an extraordinary slice of Spanish culture comes vibrantly alive. LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar, a breathtaking culinary destination perched in the sky, has officially unveiled Viva La Fiesta: Ladies Night. This weekly celebration is an opulent gathering that overflows with complimentary, free flowing bubbles for women, authentic tapas, exhilarating musical beats, and sweeping, uninterrupted views of the glittering Bangkok skyline.
An Elevated Fiesta
Held every Wednesday evening beginning at seven o’clock, this elevated event gathers friends together to revel in the spirited ambiance of a traditional Spanish fiesta. Spanning the thirty third and thirty fourth floors of INNSiDE by Meliá Bangkok Sukhumvit, the venue transforms into a lively sanctuary in the clouds. The complimentary, free flowing bubbles are poured exclusively for female guests between seven and nine in the evening, serving as the perfect accompaniment to two exceptionally crafted menus. As the champagne flutes clink, live percussionists and guest DJs curate an electric soundtrack, spinning an infectious blend of modern Spanish house music and tribal rhythms that keep the vibrant atmosphere pulsing well into the late evening hours.
The Culinary Artistry of Chef Nacho
At the gastronomic helm is Madrid born Spanish Chef de Cuisine Juan Ignacio Garcia Racionero, affectionately known to patrons as Chef Nacho. A true maestro of his craft, Chef Nacho has honed his exceptional skills within some of Spain’s most highly acclaimed kitchens. His impressive resume includes impactful tenures at the Michelin starred Saddle and the globally renowned DiverXO, an establishment frequently recognized among the top fifty restaurants in the world. He has also graced the kitchens of beloved institutions like El Jardin de la Maquina and Montellen.
At LUZ, Chef Nacho commands the room from center stage, where his signature giant pan of paella becomes a mesmerizing focal point. This massive culinary canvas features a rotating selection of deeply savory ingredients, from succulent chicken and rich pork to the freshest bounty of seafood and vibrant, market fresh vegetables.
The special Viva La Fiesta: Ladies Night menu is a testament to indulgence, highlighted by the Huevos Rotos con Gambas al Ajillo y Caviar. This Spanish classic is transformed into a theatrical tableside presentation by Chef Nacho himself, brilliantly layering perfectly crispy potatoes, exceptionally tender prawns, and decadent caviar, all finished with the rich, golden yolks of freshly fried eggs. To wash down these bold flavors, the beverage program offers magnificent one liter presentations of Agua de Valencia, a potent and refreshing concoction of fresh orange juice, effervescent cava, vodka, and gin, alongside generous pitchers of classic, fruit forward Sangria.
A Menu of Masterpieces
Standout items from the new regular culinary offerings at LUZ invite guests to explore a broader spectrum of gastronomy.
- Steak tartar y Gilda San Sebastian: An absolute triumph that artfully pairs luxurious Wagyu tenderloin tartare with the briny bite of brown and white anchovies and tangy Spanish pickles, all piled atop rustic ciabatta bread.
- Tacos de Rabo de Toro: A masterful fusion of textures and tastes, featuring slow braised oxtail, sweet roasted piquillo peppers, and smoky Idiazabal cheese, all beautifully folded into delicate, homemade corn tacos.
- Black Squid Ink Fideua: Seafood enthusiasts will be captivated by this striking and deeply aromatic pasta dish studded with sweet red prawns and tender octopus.
Sunsets, Social Hours, and Stunning Architecture
Beyond the Wednesday evening festivities, LUZ continues to welcome guests for generous Social Hours. Patrons can enjoy buy one get one free specials on a curated selection of drinks every single day from five to seven in the evening. For those looking to extend their weekend revelry, a Late Night Social runs from nine to ten in the evening every Friday through Sunday. These promotional periods feature an impressive array of selected vintage wines, frosty pints of Chang draught beer, and masterfully mixed signature cocktails.
Since making its highly anticipated debut in September of the year two thousand and twenty three, LUZ has rapidly earned a sterling reputation as one of the most awe inspiring rooftop gastronomic venues in Bangkok. The space delivers a visual spectacle unlike anything else found in the sprawling metropolis. Guests enjoying their evening on the thirty third floor are treated to a surreal architectural marvel, as they can peer directly up into the transparent glass bottom of the thirty fourth floor infinity pool.
As daylight fades into dusk and the city lights begin to twinkle, the thirty fourth floor becomes a seamless, natural extension of the tapas bar below. This upper level is an oasis in the sky, featuring a chic pool bar, the stunning transparent infinity pool, and a sprawling rooftop terrace dotted with comfortable outdoor lounges and inviting sunbeds. The striking design of the space pays thoughtful homage to local culture and architecture, drawing aesthetic inspiration from the iconic Rama VIII Bridge and featuring a magnificent, contemporary interpretation of the historic Brahman structure known as The Giant Swing.
LUZ Bangkok Tapas Bar welcomes guests to experience this remarkable fusion of Spanish flair and Thai hospitality every day, remaining open from four in the afternoon until the stroke of midnight.
