New spots, old favorites, and the very best places to tie one on in the sky, complete with the BAD Awards 2025 winners and finalists. 

Bangkok likes to party high in more ways than one, so here we are bringing you the best views, booze, and sky-high bars in the city from our annual BAD Awards. This year, we've got something for everyone, the hi-so, beer lovers, pub crawls, live music fans, and everything in between. 

The annual BAD Awards are Bangkok’s biggest homegrown nightlife awards, and were made possible by sponsors Apt 101, GulpBkk, Bootleggers, Giffard, Freedom World, Komos, Suntree Brewing, Flow Inter, and OG Kratom.

 

Bar.Yard

Bar.Yard should be no stranger to folks who know Bangkok’s nightlife scene or fans of rooftop bars. This is the third year in a row the venue has earned the top spot from the BAD Awards voting panel in the rooftop bar category, and that’s largely because the venue keeps refining its best-in-class formula. This year, it launched an all-new line-up of weekly parties called “Nights at the Yard”, creating a good mixture of vibes and energy levels here with everything from ladies nights to more off-the-cuff parties and cosmopolitan dance-offs. Combine that with the already good food and drink and you have a home run yet again. 

40/F, Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, Soi Ton Son, 02-056-9999. Open Sun-Mon 5pm-1am and Tue-Sat 5pm–2am

 

FinalistNobu Rooftop

Nobu Bangkok was one of the most highly anticipated openings of 2024, commanding a large media junket and acting as the main promotional vehicle for the larger EA Rooftop launch at the top of Empire Tower. While the restaurant takes up most of the limelight, the open-air rooftop bar area has quietly stolen the show, and our panelists agreed. Completely booked nearly every night, what the bar area lacks in raw mixologist firepower it more than makes up for with some of the most insane 360-degree views you find in the city.

Nobu Bangkok, 57/F, Empire Tower, 1 Sathorn Rd., 02-407-1654. Open daily 5:30pm-1am

 

Finalist: Penthouse Bar + Grill

This gargantuan venue atop the 35th floor of the sleek Park Hyatt not only boasts some of the best views of downtown Phloen Chit you’ll find, it’s also a range of different bars and restaurants wrapped up in a single location: steakhouse, live music hall, serious cocktail den, and breezy rooftop bar. You could argue it should place among the top five in Bangkok for all of those, but among the city’s sky-high places to get a drink it stands among the pack. 

35-36/F, Park Hyatt, 88 Wireless Rd., 02-011-7480. Open 5:30pm-2am

 

Finalist: Com’On Bar

One of the youngest entries to crack this list in years, opening in just 2023, Com’On Bar’s location just on the outskirts of the city’s old town keeps it far away from the gleaming high rises of the business districts, allowing its perch on the seventh floor to offer 270-degree views of the surrounding area, which the bar team gives nods too through their area-themed drinks like the smoky-flavored “Old Town” the housing number of the building with the crisp “One One Four”. A respectable selection of craft beers on tap rounds out the menu. 

114, Soi Salak Hin, 095 861 8363. Open daily 5:30-midnight

 


 

Above Eleven

Head up to Bangkok’s sky-high Peruvian-Japanese rooftop restaurant and bar in Bangkok for panoramic sunset views, zesty pisco sours, and innovative fusion cocktails. They provide Nikkei food, a combination of Peruvian and Japanese cuisine, so be sure to try the ceviche sampling plate, tacos, or the South American grilled platter. The rooftop's sleek and fashionable design draws inspiration from Central Park in New York City, and the space is outfitted with artificial grass, wooden structure trees, neon blue and pink lights, a maze, and, to top it all off, a bathroom with a view of the Bangkok cityscape.   
 

32/F, Fraser Suites, 38/8 Sukhumvit Rd., 083-542-1111. Open daily 6pm-late.

 

Anju Korean Rooftop Bar 

Anju Korean Rooftop Bar is Bangkok's first and tallest Korean rooftop bar. Located on the 31st floor of the Sindhorn Midtown Hotel Bangkok, this spot offers panoramic views of Bangkok's cityscape. The bar plays true K-pop music for  K-pop fans, and the menu includes Korean comfort foods such as cheese tteobokki, shrimp ramyun, sizzling hot stir-fried baby octopus, and fried chicken. Drinks include distinctive cocktails made with Korean spirits and infusions of savory ingredients. “Anju” means “food eaten with alcohol," and it doesn't disappoint.  

31/F Sindhorn Midtown Hotel Bangkok, 68 Langusan, 02-796-8888. Open daily 5pm-late.

 

Seen Restaurant and Bar

Seen does rooftop dining and drinking in style, occupying the top of Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel for those of you willing to cross the river for your views.. This rooftop restaurant and bar floats high above the Chaophraya and serves international fusion cuisine and innovative cocktails from award-winning chefs and bartenders. For food, try the Black Angus beef cheek or the grilled maine lobster spaghetti. For drinks, there's the Asmodeus, which features durian sous vide with Bacardi Ocho rum, and the Satan, which is spicy from Tabasco but fruity from pineapple and mango. The rooftop spans two stories, with the 26th floor serving as an indoor-outdoor restaurant and lounge, and the 27th floor features an open-air rooftop bar. 

26-27/F, Avani+ Riverside Bangkok Hotel, 257, Charoennakorn Rd., 02-431-9492. Open daily 11am-late. 

 

ABar Rooftop 

Too many rooftops allow stunning views to be let down by substandard drinks. That’s not the case here. Sit downstairs for dark spirits or upstairs for the 50-plus labels of gin, all of which can be paired with the tonic of your choosing. Their chairs with built-in air-conditioning always get us, plus their events schedule is packed with tastings, live music and even pop-up cinemas. Lately, they've been doing well with their Latin dance events. 
 
38/F, Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park, 199 Sukhumvit Soi 22, 02-059-5999. Open daily 5pm-1am.

 

Aesop’s 

Relocating to their plush and extremely well-designed space in Thonglor, the plate-smashing Greek food specialists at Aesop’s took special brand of partying to the rooftop late in 2023. The newer location promises a view over Benjakitti park on the 25th floor rooftop, with interior design taking a cue from Athens. Pop around to check out the high ceilings, marble accents, Greek-style columns, and statues throughout.

25/F Column Bangkok Hotel, Sukhumvit Soi 16. 062 567 7751. Open daily 5pm-midnight.

 

Aire Bar

Hyatt Place enters the rooftop-bar fray with this no-frills, Benjasiri Park-view venue that’s ideal for after-work drinking. All signature cocktails are B280, which in the world of rooftop bars is a steal—try the North Star, a fruity, Plantation Pineapple, pomegranate and bitters. The list of 30 wines also does not disappoint.
 
28/F, Hyatt Place, 22/5 Sukhumvit Soi 24, 02- 055-1234. Open daily 5pm-1am.
 

 

AmBar

Now known for their big bachata events every Sunday, AmBar is the place to be on Sukhumvit Soi 15. Perched on the top floor of the Four Points Hotel, amBar is aiming to be the locus of a swank and chic scene, attracting beautiful people from the nearby bars in Soi 11.

8/F, Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Sukhumvit Soi 15, Bangkok, 02-309-3113. Open daily 3pm-1am.

 

Bangkok Heightz

This 39-story-high undercover lounge bar aims to bring Thai “street food” to a rooftop setting. Alongside the fancified versions of Thai classic dishes, the signature cocktails also play around with a lot of local flavors. While the place is a bit small, the ceiling low, and the vibe dark, there are some good cocktails at a fair price to be had.
 
39/F, The Continent Hotel, 413 Sukhumvit Rd. 02-867-7000. Open daily 5pm-2am. 

 

Brewski

This beer bar offers 30th-floor views of Sukhumvit. Along with a free and easy party atmosphere, Brewski offers an international selection of beers, with choices ranging from American craft beers to Belgian classics. There's also a decent selection of ciders (try the Zeffer Crisp Green Apple Cider from New Zealand) and Thai-style bar munchies like sai krok Isaan (Thai-style pork sausages with fresh chili, ginger, and peanuts).
 
30/F, Radisson Blu Plaza, 486 Sukhumvit Soi 27, 02-302-3333. Open daily 5pm-1am.

 

Cactus

Yen Akat is getting livelier by the minute. Here you get to enjoy big trees and low-rise building views. The bar maintains a connection with the greenery through a glass wall, so you don't feel trapped in a boxy room like most cocktail bars. The drinks are tasty and easy to down, which goes hand-in-hand with the easy-going vibe this sports bar.
 
4/F 15 Yen Akat Rd., 083-437-3515. Open daily 5pm-midnight.

 

Char

Over at the grill at this rooftop bar, they cook up some amazing beef from Australia's Darling Downs. Char takes up the top two stories of Hotel Indigo, with a stylish dining room downstairs and the rooftop bar up above to benefit from those amazing views across Bangkok's greenery.
 
​​​​​​26/F, Hotel Indigo, 81 Wireless Rd. 02-207-4999. Open Mon-Sat 6-10:30pm.
 

Cielo Sky Bar & Restaurant

When you think of rooftop bars, you probably think of the downtown CBD, but don’t forget there’s a good one in Phrakanong. Head up to the 46th floor and catch the sunset far from the early 20s English teachers on Tinder dates at W District. Here you’ll find a chilled-out vibe and dishes with happy hour promotions most days.
 
46-47/F, Skywalk Condo Condominium, 1595/500 Sukhumvit Rd., 081-916-4270. Open daily 5:30pm-midnight.

 

Cocoa XO

This cognac bar comes with an all-you-can-eat chocolate buffet in the sky. Located a floor below Cru Champagne and above Red Sky, you could spend an evening here just moving up and down the stairs hopping between the three skyhigh rooftop bars. The seating areas are placed by the edge and go around almost in a circle, so you’ll be able to take in the view and the breeze from anywhere you sit. 
 
57/F, Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre, 999/99 Rama 1 Rd., 02-100-6255. Open daily 4pm-1am.
 

Cooling Tower

Taking home a win at the BAD Awards for their happy hour, Carlton Hotel’s rooftop bar sits on the 34rd floor above on Sukhumvit Road where you can sit back and escape the unusually long Asoke intersection traffic light down below while taking in the view. They offer happy hours every day from 5-6:30pm and the menu is two-pages long for buy-one-get-one from cocktail to wine to beer.
 
34/F, Carlton Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 491 Sukhumvit Rd., 02-090-7888. Open daily 5pm-midnight.
 

Cru Champagne 

The bar is located on what used to be a helicopter landing pad on top of the five-star hotel Centara Grand at CentralWorld. Access Cru from a little elevator at Red Sky, which drops you right on top of the hotel, where you get a stunning, 59th-floor, 360-degree view of Bangkok. The drinks list is all about Champagne, so come prepared to order a bottle of G.H. Mumm Cordon Rouge Brut.
 
59/F, Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld, 999/99 Rama 1 Rd., 02-100-1234. Open daily 5pm-1am.

 

The Swanky EmQuartier dedicates some fifth-floor, mall-top space to a venue that’s part tapas bar, part tiki bar, and wholly committed to its “downtown beach club” theme. Instagram-ready nooks litter the huge, tropical-plant and pink-flamingo festooned area.
 
5/F, The EmQuartier, 693, 695 Sukhumvit Rd., 063-816-6969. Open daily 5pm-midnight.

 

 

Flamenco

A finalist for the Best Nightclub at this year’s BAD Awards, you know this sky bar can party. Sure, you’ll be indoors mostly, but the view’s the thing. You’ll find Latin themed designs and drinks, but the thing to keep in mind with Flamenco is that they are always—always—bringing in banging tunes from DJs around the city and the world. Sure, it’s on the hi-so side, but they know how to lean into the party vibes. 

9/F, Helix, EmQuartier, 693, 695 Sukhumvit Rd., 02-003-6006. Open Thu-Sat 7pm-2am

 

Frankie’s Rooftop

This spot opened quietly last year, and it’s a pretty tiny venue. But you’ve got to give it up for Frankie’s because they’ve been bringing mad house tunes every week with big crowds and bigger parties. It may be small compared to some of these whopping great hotel rooftops, but they’re serving up European food that will fuel your dancing. 

44/5, 44/6 Soi Arkapat, 099-796-2630. Open daily 4pm-late.

 

 

Invitation Only

We’re maybe stretching the definition as the inside is really the treat at Invitation Only, but it’s worth it for the sky-high view. Opening last year at Empire Tower all the way up to the 55th Floor, the team from Cassette Music Bar set up Invitation Only, a bar that comes with a panoramic sunset view and nostalgic cocktails from homemade ingredients. Contrary to typical small portion bar grubs, Invitation Only takes their food menu seriously with piri piri chicken skewers to lamb chop chimichurri to fuel you through the night.

55/F, Empire Tower, 1 Sathorn Rd., 061 549 9966. Open daily 5pm-late.

 

Japan-ish 

The outdoor rooftop area of this bar is not the most memorable on this list, but this spot is bringing fresh bites and fun events to Bangkok’s skies. The space, Japan-ish, blends Spanish restaurant elements with upscale izakaya vibes. Headed by Chef Jesus Pascual from the 3-star Michelin restaurant Arzak in Spain, the venue’s menu will feature robata grilling, sushi, sashimi, and large sharing plates.

155, 23-24, Sukhumvit Soi 11, 662-253-2000. Open daily 5:30-late.

Lamaya Bangkok

Found on top of Staybridge Suites, if there’s one single thing that defines the new trend in large nightlife spaces it’s this: big, giant, scary heads. We don’t know why but from Tribe to Akara Sky Hanuman, it’s all big heads. This place has a very Instagram friendly interior, but you can wander out on the roof for a quick look at the skyline away from the big Olmec heads. Just kidding, there’s one out there too. 

30/F, Staybridge Suites, 89, 8 Sukhumvit Soi 24, 065-384-4632. Open daily 1pm-late. 

 

The Loft

Also a finalist for the Best Hotel Bar of the Year of this year’s BAD Awards, this chic space is a speakeasy in the truest sense of the word. The wall artwork opens to a truly incredible view and a design meant to evoke the atmosphere of 19th century New Yorker glitz and glam. It’s heavy on the gold and heavier on the booze in their 14 signature cocktails. 

Waldorf Astoria Bangkok, 151 Ratchadamri Rd, 02-846-8851. Open Sun-Thu 5pm-midnight; Fri-Sat 5pm-late.


 

Luz 

On Nut isn’t the first place you think of when you hear “rooftop restaurant.” But that’s changing. Sitting on the 33rd and 34th floors of the Innside Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit by Melia, Luz Tapas Bar is the brainchild of Chef de Cuisine Laia Ferrer, bringing her Barcelona heritage to life through Thai ingredients and Spanish flavors. The venue, which opened mid-September in 2023, offers two spacious areas: the Luz terrace and the Luz rooftop.

Innside Hotel Bangkok Sukhumvit By Melia, 1472, Sukhumvit Road., 02-340-5499. Open daily 4pm-12am.

 

Nest Rooftop Lounge

This rooftop bar sits on the 9th floor above the craze of Sukhumvit Soi 11 and offers a 360-degree view. They offer a longer happy hour promotion than usual (four hours instead of the usual two), and drinks vary depending on the day.
 
9/F, Le Fenix Hotel 33/33 Sukhumvit Soi 11, 063-901-1006. Open daily 6pm-2am.
 

Octave

A rooftop bar with the added bonus of being right by Thonglor, this place is our favorite diversion for out-of-town friends when they start mumbling “skybar.” Cocktails don’t come quite at street-level prices, but you do get a stunning view of downtown Sukhumvit, coupled with an upbeat crowd of tourists.
 
​​​​​​45/F, Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit, 2 Sukhumvit Soi 57, 02-797-0000. Open daily 5pm-2am.

 

 

O’Shea’s Rooftop Bar and BBQ

Okay, okay. We’ve got plenty of hi-so spots for sipping cocktails and taking in the view and plenty more for DJs and parties. But this one’s for the pub crowd. Sports, local bands, cheap beer—what else do you need? You’ll find ample park bench style seating, and the stage gears up for some killer local acts. 

595, 16-19 Sukhumvit Soi 33/1, 095 795 1841. Open daily 7am-late. 

 

Paradise Lost

Paradise Lost brings tropical vibes to a district sorely lacking good nightlife venues. Recalling 1960s Miami, the lower floor is completely awash in candy pink and dotted with lush green plants. We recommend grabbing one of the circular, sunset-facing booths or daybeds to enjoy a refreshing cocktail.
 
25/F, Siam@Siam Design Hotel, 865 Rama 1 Rd., 02-217-3000. Open daily 5pm-1am.
 

Pastel

Sukhumvit Soi 11 welcomes another rooftop bar on the 22nd floor serving both city view and Mediterranean food. It also comes with a live band most nights plus some entertainment like live percussion shows and many shots to pass around.
 
22/F, Aira Hotel, 14 Sukhumvit Soi 11, 095-703-5679. Open daily 5pm-1am.
 

Red Sky

The 55th-floor view from Centara’s rooftop puts this bar in the same league as other high flyers, like Vertigo at the Banyan Tree. Al fresco dining and drinking takes place under a swooping, red-lit arch, while chef Christian Ham’s seasonal menus spotlight classic, rich steak dishes. Don’t miss the truffle-infused wagyu beef tenderloin Rossini—a menu staple and proven crowd pleaser.
 
55/F, Centara Grand at CentralWorld, 999/99 Rama 1 Rd., 02-100-6255. Open daily 6-11:30pm.

 

Scarlett Wine Bar & Restaurant

Perched 37 floors above Silom with river views to boot, this wine bistro combines well-executed French comfort food, chargrilled Aussie steaks and a long, long wine list into one sleek yet affordable package. The charcuterie and cheese platters also come highly recommended—just be sure to book well ahead for a spot on the terrace.
 
37/F, Pullman Bangkok Hotel G, 188 Silom Rd., 096-860-7990. Open daily 5pm-midnight.

SIN Rooftop Bar

Also a finalist for this year’s BAD Awards for Best New Bar Design, SIN is the party lover’s new cocktail space for club kids who really like to do it up, complete with a gigantic glowing DJ booth. The music will have you moving, the cocktails are on point, and the views here are some of the best on the river. And, yes, it can also just be a spot for hanging out and having some food with a view. 

26/F, Avani+ Riverside, 257 Charoennakorn Rd., 02-431-9472. Open daily 5pm-1am

 

 

Siwilai City Club

This vast complex of restaurants and bars whips out refreshing tropical cocktails amidst the airy view of Phloen Chit’s neighborhood. Order the grilled pineapple iced tea (with double-roasted chili and cinnamon syrup) or go with its original twist on classic spirit-forward drinks like the Black Pearl Old Fashioned instead. The venue also boasts amazing musical acts on a regular basis.
 
5/F, Central Embassy, Phloen Chit Rd., 02-160-5631. Open daily 11am-midnight.
 

 

Sky Beach

 

Commanding Bangkok's skyline from the 78th floor of the iconic Mahanakhon building (the second tallest building in Bangkok), Sky Beach (the city’s highest rooftop bar) takes rooftop experiences to dizzying new heights. Forget run-of-the-mill skyline selfies; here, jaw-dropping 360-degree panoramas can take the breath away. Indulge in creative cocktails and beverages alongside delectable sweet and savory treats as you soak in Bangkok’s vibrant energy. There’s also the occasional live entertainment adding an extra spark.

78/F, The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon, 114 Naradhiwas Rajanagarindra Rd., Silom, Bang Rak, 02-085-8888. Open daily, 10am-midnight.

 


 

Sky On 20 

Maybe the most chilled out—and definitely the best value—rooftop bar in the city, this is the kind of place we wish could remain a secret. Here you can expect legitimately affordable cocktails on a rooftop that are actually good, plus a low-key house soundtrack and room to breathe.
 
26/F, Novotel Bangkok, 19/9 Sukhumvit Soi 20, 02-009-4999. Open daily 5pm-1am.

 

The Speakeasy 

This rooftop cocktail lounge takes you back to the jazz age. The two-story space sports prohibition era-inspired decor, featuring lots of dark woods and Art Deco touches. A balcony on the 24th floor lets you take in 180-degree views of Bangkok’s business district, while an alfresco rooftop offers a more leisurely atmosphere. 
 
24-25/F, Hotel Muse Bangkok Langsuan, 55/555 Lang Suan Rd., 02-630-4000. Open daily 6pm-1am.

 

Spectrum Lounge & Bar

Spread over three levels and 280 sqm, Spectrum can accommodate almost 300 people. The inviting indoor living room comes with a sky blue velvet carpet, a glowing gold fretwork ceiling, a black marble bar and Thai artwork. Their drink promotion of two-hour free-flow house wine for B999 is a steal.
 
29-31/F, Hyatt Regency Bangkok Sukhumvit, 1 Sukhumvit Soi 13, 02-098-1234. Open daily 5:30pm-1am.

 

 

Starlight Rooftop Bar

Opening only a few months ago atop the Mercure Hotel, Starlight Rooftop Bar is a 60-square-meter rooftop bar smack dab in the middle of Surawong. While you’ll definitely want to keep your eye on the sky, this venue does have an indoor area, Yu Her Bao is cooking up in the kitchen and Gongson Sonti is behind the bar. 

Mercure Hotel Surawong Bangkok, 222, Surawong Rd. 02 352 4999. Open daily 4pm-late. 

 

Tichuca

Tichuca is a fun, multi-level rooftop bar with a jungle décor inspired by South Africa. The bar provides an escape into lush foliage and tropical feels. There are three levels decked out with wooden furniture, rattan chairs, flora, and a massive LED-lit tree that sways behind the bar. Indulge in a menu of signature tiki drinks like the Pineapple Mule or Vietnamese Guava, and you can expect huge line-ups as the night unfolds. For the ultimate experience, we recommend arriving around opening for the sunset.  

46/F, T-One Building, Sukhumvit Soi 40, 065-878-5562. Open daily 5pm-late.

 


 
 

ThreeSixty Jazz Lounge and Rooftop Bar

 
Coming to you from the 32nd floor above the river, this space features a 360-degree panorama like no other—including selfies on the helipad. As Bangkok views at rooftop bars go, it’s hard to beat the mighty Chao Phraya, and the The ThreeSixty Jazz Lounge at the Millennium Hilton Bangkok brings the design brilliance of New York’s Tony Chi to new heights—literally. Outside gentle touches of green give a little spark of garden to the concrete jungle, and you’ll catch DJs playing on the helipad for a night that adds a little rhythm to your romantic rooftop experience. 
 
32/F, Millennium Hilton Bangkok, 123 Charoen Nakhon Rd, 02-442-2000. Open daily 5pm-1am

5/F Emsphere, 628, Sukhumvit Rd., 062-595-6046, Open daily 11am-late.

 

Tulum Sky Bar 

Drawing inspiration from the coastal town of Tulum, also known as the summer haven for the elite. Tulum Sky Bar stands as Bangkok’s jungle rooftop bar, located on the 29th floor of Movenpick Ekkamai. The expansive rooftop bar pays homage to the Mexican Caribbean, featuring sculptures reminiscent of the Mayans and adorned with Aztec patterns on the walls, thatched light fixtures, and hanging vines. For entertainment there’s DJs spinning tropical tracks and jungle style performances featuring pole dancing, Latin moves and fire shows. Drinks are mostly tequila based, like the Aztec Fire Potion that’s fired up with tabasco to compliment the tequila and milk punch.

Vanilla Sky Rooftop  

Decked out with LED lights, Vanilla Sky gives off a fancy sky bar atmosphere but remains easy-going.

35/F, SkyView Hotel, 12, Sukhumvit Soi 24, 02-011-1111. Open daily 6pm-1:30am.

 

Vertigo and Moon Bar

Legendary for its heart-stopping 61-story views of the scattered city lights, Moon Bar was one of the first rooftop places in town and it’s still hard to beat the vertiginous 360-degree views offered up by this small al fresco bar atop the Banyan Tree Hotel. If you can stomach the feeling that you're at a tourist trap (and the accompanying prices), the views are indeed spectacular. 
 
61/F, The Banyan Tree, 21/100 Sathorn Rd., 02-679-1200. Open daily 5pm-1am.

 

Wallflowers Upstairs
