Bangkok View Rooftop Bar
Perched above the legendary Khao San Road in the Phra Nakhon district, this rooftop bar draws evening crowds with its elevated vantage point over Bangkok's rooftops and skyline. Several visitors describe the view as genuinely impressive — one comparing it to a skyscraper perspective spanning much of the city — making it a notable option for travellers looking to experience the Khao San area from above the street-level chaos.
The bar operates exclusively as an evening venue, opening at 6 PM every night and running until 2 AM, with a casual atmosphere that suits the backpacker-friendly neighbourhood. Buckets and cocktails are the typical order, though mixed reviews suggest drink quality can be inconsistent, with some guests noting weak pours relative to the price point. The interior has a themed décor that adds some personality beyond the outdoor view.

You have to get up there and enjoy the view. It's almost like a skyscraper view; you can see all of Babgkok. Pretty awesome. The jnterior of the bar is really nice and there is some them like superheros and old antique stuff. You have to go there. Huge potential!!
Honestly, my experience at Bangkok View Rooftop Bar was pretty disappointing. The drinks were a huge letdown – there was basically no alcohol in them, even though the prices suggested they’d be something special. For what they charge, the quality just didn’t match up. The only saving grace was the decent view of Bangkok and Khao San Road – that part was nice. The staff were friendly, which helped a bit, but it’s not enough to make up for everything else. Overall, it’s an average spot with a lot of room for improvement. Fix the drinks and maybe it’d be worth another shot. For now, I wouldn’t rush back. Rating: 2/5 (mainly for the view and service).
Really disappointing. It’s hard to understand how a place with such an amazing view can fall so far below basic standards. The prices are very high, which I could accept because of the view. However, the salami pizza we ordered had only about five slices of salami on it, even though the menu photo showed a pizza fully covered with salami. The pizza itself tasted fine, but it was absolutely not worth the price. We also ordered a jug of beer. It tasted like water, literally. It was mostly foam, and the jug wasn’t even full when it arrived. We paid 450 baht for what ended up being just two glasses of extremely watery beer. When we mentioned this to the staff, they simply laughed and didn’t take the issue seriously. I definitely do not recommend this place. There are many better places in Bangkok where you’ll actually get value for your money. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
Carry Your Passport or a Copy
Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.
Know the Closing Times
Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.
Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously
Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
