Why go, and how to do it well

Come for the sunset and stay through happy hour. That's the play here. The rooftop sits above the U Jomtien Hotel with the whole sweep of Jomtien Beach laid out in front of you, and the thing people keep coming back to isn't the drinks list so much as how quiet it is. If you've done the Bangkok rooftop circuit and left feeling like you'd waited in line for a photo, this is the opposite. Space between tables, room to sit for three hours without anyone hurrying you along.

Cocktails are what to order, and there are mocktails if you're not drinking. The food gets more praise than you'd expect from a hotel bar, with prices that regulars reckon compare well against street food. There's a two-hour happy hour worth building your afternoon around. Turn up around 4pm and you'll catch it, plus the light going gold over the water.

It's an open rooftop in Chonburi. Arrive at one in the afternoon and you'll cook. Late afternoon onwards is the sweet spot.

Reviews from Google

Great rooftop bar, right on Jomtien beach. Super friendly staff that reserved a table for us at 4pm. Funny enough just as the 2 hour happy hour was starting. Excellent cocktails we we certainly enjoyed our 3 hours or so here. Highly recommended

This bar is a part of the hotel, nice beach view can be seen from here. Food and price are okay, they are even better than some street food.

Fantastic view of the entire beach. A great place to watch the sunset with a cocktail or two even have mocktails. The food was great too. I've been here alone and with friends a few times. My photos are for my first experience. Will go again.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

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.

Arrange Your Ride Home

Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
