Sky Bar

3.9(7,198 reviews)$$$$

Go for the view, and be honest with yourself that's what you're buying. The open-air circular bar sits on the 64th floor of State Tower, around 250 metres above Silom Road, and the panorama at dusk is the whole point. Two cocktails can come to the equivalent of 80 euros. Some drinks on the menu run into the thousands of baht. Nobody is hiding this, but plenty of people arrive without doing the maths and leave annoyed.

The other thing worth knowing is the routine. Several reviewers describe being steered into a smaller indoor bar on a lower floor first and nudged to order there before reaching the top. You can politely ask to go straight up instead, and staff will usually sort it. Bartenders and waiters get consistently good marks, and there's live jazz on some evenings. Arrive around sunset, then shift to the other side of the rooftop once the city lights come on. Both vantage points are worth walking between.

We‘ve visited the Sky Bar - first stop was 50ish floor where we did get Cocktails and view towards uptown. All in All about 80€ for 2 Cocktails. Price wise of course sky high but since you KNOW WHAT YOU BOOK it is not a surprise. You are going to one of the highest Cocktail Bars in the world - a top destination and landmark. Remember that e.g. in New York you are paying the same just to access the ‚rooftop’ of Empire State. But here is what you also get for it. A. Like AMAZING service + waiters who also take great pictures B. Like BEST Views in Town Afterwards you get what you are probably want to see the most: the Hangover 2 movie scene spot. After a short Elevator ride you are able to access the scene, take photos and have a great time. Also here some great service guy took hundreds of photos of us which was really great. Do it if you are around but know what’s included and don’t be upset about the prices.

A must do if you’re visiting Bangkok, Sky Bar is mush than a rooftop bar. On top of the 64th Floor the panoramic view is breathtaking, I would recommend coming to see the sunset. The bartender here is amazing, a huge shoutout to Gaurav, Jong, Namtan and Shernan. They make the best drinks in Bangkok, definitely try the Hangovertini, it’s so good. I can’t wait to comeback soon!

I've had a very disappointing experience here. I wouldn't visit again. It started with a 10 min queue/wait just to use the elevator. Apon arriving at the top, we were ushered to a empty 2nd inner bar and told to sit, and given a limited drinks menu. The menu only contained the most expensive drinks ranging between 1500-50000 baht per drink. We ordered 2 of the cheapest drinks we could see, which was 2 of the smallest glasses of warm white wine I've even seen. At this point we were wondering why everybody else were being taken to the other outer bar. We decided to pay for our 2 small wines 3000 baht only to be told we had to pay another 800 baht service charge for using the inner bar. We walked to the other bar only to discover a much bigger selection of drinks at a more reasonable price. We complained to a member of staff. Who did not seen to care at all. We watched the sun go down for 10 mins while being stared at by some staff members. We decide to leave early and we got escorted out of the building. It felt like we were singled out to be scammed. Apart from the great views a truly disappointing experience. I would recommend visiting Spectrum instead, there the service was amazing.

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.
