In this work, we study nonradial perturbations of AdS bubbles and their tidal Love numbers (TLNs). The odd- and even-parity TLNs are computed up to $l=6$ in the limit $k\to \infty$. The odd-parity TLNs are found to be negative, while the even-parity TLNs are positive for ${\upsilon }_s^2=-1$. As $l$ increases, the tidal Love numbers approach zero. The TLNs of the even-parity sector up to order $l=41$ are also calculated over the entire parameter space of $k$, from 0 to $\infty$. We find that in the region where $p/\sigma >0$, an increasing number of TLNs become negative as $l$ increases. For $l=41$, the highest order we have examined, the TLNs are negative everywhere except in a narrow region very close to the zero of $p/\sigma$, which agrees well with the instability criterion in the eikonal limit for self-gravitating membranes proposed by Yang et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 130, 011402 (2023)].
