Red Sky

4.6(4,874 reviews)$$$$

The view does the heavy lifting here, and it earns its keep. From the rooftop of the Centara Grand on Rama I Road, you get the central Bangkok skyline laid out in every direction, and the half hour when daylight drains away and the lights come up is the reason to time your arrival for early evening rather than late. Doors open at 17:00, so there's no excuse for missing it.

It works as a bar and as a restaurant, and the split matters less than you'd think. Cocktails and spirits anchor one side, a full dinner menu the other, and guests bring families, dates and solo evenings without anyone looking out of place. Service comes up again and again in guest accounts as attentive and genuinely warm, which is not a given at this altitude or this price bracket.

We had the pleasure of dining at Red Sky Rooftop Restaurant twice during our stay in Bangkok, and both evenings were truly unforgettable. Visiting as a family, we were immediately impressed by the breathtaking panoramic views over the city skyline. Watching Bangkok light up at night from this rooftop is an experience in itself. The ambience at Red Sky is elegant yet relaxed, making it a perfect place for both special occasions and a memorable family dinner. The atmosphere strikes a wonderful balance between luxury and warmth, allowing everyone to feel comfortable while still enjoying a high-end dining experience. Of course, the food deserves special mention. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in each course clearly reflect the high standards of the kitchen. From start to finish, our meals were consistently excellent. What truly made our evenings exceptional, however, was the outstanding service. On both occasions, we were looked after by a waitress named Night, and she made our visits absolutely perfect. Night was incredibly friendly, attentive, and professional, with a genuine warmth that made us feel very welcome. She anticipated our needs, explained the menu with care, and always made sure everything was just right for our family. Her service elevated an already fantastic experience to something truly special. In summary, Red Sky is more than just a rooftop restaurant with a great view—it is a place where atmosphere, cuisine, and service come together seamlessly. We highly recommend it to anyone visiting Bangkok, and we would gladly return again. A special thank you to Night for making our evenings so memorable.

I discovered the Red Sky rooftop by chance and decided to visit. Even though I made an online reservation for 8:00 PM, they kindly accommodated us early around 6:00 PM, allowing us to enjoy a beautiful sunset. We ordered a package that included three types of food and unlimited mocktails. Over the course of 1.5 hours, we enjoyed four deliciously crafted mocktails. The stunning night view of Bangkok, paired with great music and a wonderful atmosphere, made the experience unforgettable. The staff were incredibly beautiful, handsome, and attentive. I would like to extend a special thank you to Ying Ying for her exceptional kindness and excellent service!

We made a reservation through hungry hub and were made to feel like a second class guest, possibly due to this? No welavome at all, just sit that way. We had to order all the drinks (6 as the deal was 3 cocktails and 1 appetiser per person). From being seated we waited 45 minutes for a drink (It was not at all busy), when they eventually brought our drinks, they brought 2 that my wife had chosen and nothing for me. I explained I had been wanting 45 minutes and that I would appreciate one of the drink I had actually ordered. The waiter was not Thai, so it was difficult to communicate in either English or Thai. Food was ok but the evening had already been spoiled by the, lack of any sort of welcome and the extremely poor service. I did report this to the manager on the floor, however I simply got an, OK! No apology, nothing off the bill. View was nice enough, but went up a couple of floors and was told I had to buy a drink if I wanted to take any pictures. Service was abysmal, so we drunk our drinks, paid the bill and left. Dont waste your time here there are far better rooftop bars to visit if you want a good view of the city. Really disappointed!😞

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.
