Rooftop
Above Eleven
33/F, Fraser Suites Sukhumvit, 38/8 Sukhumvit Soi 11. 02-207-9300. Open daily 6pm-2am.
On top of its great views of the city skyline, another thing Above Eleven has going for it is its adventurous menu. While most other rooftop venues play it safe with homogenous international dishes, here the focus is on Peruvian-Japanese fusion cuisine (aka Nikkei cuisine). In small plates like acebichado rolls (seabass, ika karage, avocado, B360) and skewers of anticucho beef heart (B240) you’ve got a wonderful accompaniment for the views, bettered only by their signature Pisco Sour (B350).
47/F, United Center, Silom Rd. 091-889-9600. BTS Sala Daeng. Open Mon-Sat 5pm-midnight.
Formerly home to the Heineken GreenSpace, the rooftop of the United Centre Silom already used to welcome revelers celebrating the coming of winter a few years ago. Now, finally, the space has been transformed into a permanent rooftop bar, Cloud 47, which offers more variety than most rooftop venues across Bangkok, yet has a distinctly Thai flavor. With its menu of drinking food and large beer garden littered with white square tables and stool sofas catering for up to 500 people, the place just asks for you to order drinks to share, from a tower of draught beer (starts from B600) to a tower of Absolut smoothie (B1,280, mixers B60). There’s also a more upscale wine zone which is serviced by a “flying angel hostess” suspended in a harness.
Park Society
29/F, Sofitel So Bangkok, 2 North Sathorn Rd., 02-624-0000. Open daily 5pm-1am (Bar).
Sat on the top floors of the fashionable Sofitel So Bangkok, Park Society gives you a choice of three different zones. The dining room features moody lighting and lots of angular mirrors alongside an impressive menu of artfully presented and created international cuisine. But what we really come for is the open-air balcony which combines a winning blend of killer cocktails, lounge tunes and a pretty unique view over Lumpini Park. There’s also a small mezzanine one level up called Hi-So Cabana open for group bookings and the hotel’s regular parties.
L’Appart
32/F, Sofitel Bangkok Sukhumvit, 189 Sukhumvit Rd. (between sois 13 and 15), 02-126-9999. Open daily 7pm-midnight. www.sofitel.com
The top-floor fine-dining venue of the Sofitel Bangkok is about as lofty as they come. Looking to embrace the Gallic roots of the hotel chain, the décor makes you feel like you’re dining in a grand Parisian apartment thanks to the parquet flooring, stately fireplace and wood paneling. But we say head to the outdoor balcony for an impressive panorama of Sukhumvit.
Garden Spots
Water Library Thonglor
The Grass, Thonglor Soi 12, 02-714-9292/-3. Mon-Sat 6pm-1am.
The second branch of this growing fine-dining empire, which opened in the heart of nightlife central Thonglor, quickly made a mark on the dining scene with its restaurant serving a maximum of 10 diners per night an exclusive and expensive multi-course set menu. For something a whole lot more affordable and relaxed we like to hit up the adjoining wine bar, which features a charming outdoor terrace, a menu of creative cocktails courtesy of Italian mixologist Mirko Gardelliano and a cellar containing over 370 labels. Live music on the weekend further helps liven up the laidback mood.
99 Rest Backyard Café
99 Rama 9 Soi 41, Seri 9 Rd., 02-300-4339. Open Tue-Sun 11am-11pm.
Located well off the beaten track, in a small street near Rama 9, this lovely house and garden is managed by the team behind the artsy Tamarind Village in Chiang Mai and Rayavadee Resort in Krabi. The décor is country chic, so you don’t feel any pressure to fully dress up, but it still works for dates and special occasions. A beautifully landscaped garden hugs a high-ceiling pavilion, complete with wood furniture, floor-to-ceiling framed windows, striped cushions and royal blue touches. Chef Cyrille Keyser creates international cuisine with highlights such as the oven-roasted lamb rack served with potato gratin and ratatouille (B1,290).
Stu-fe
33/1 Soi Farm Wattana, Rama 4 Rd., 02-712-0375. Open daily 6pm-1am.
Despite all the houses-turned-bar in the Thonglor-Ekkamai area, this humble abode in Prakanong still tops our list. Stu-Fe is operated by the artist group Monotone, who combined a home, a music studio and a bar into one lovely spot. We like to pull up a seat in the garden, where the band’s gig can be heard at conversation-friendly levels and order a free-flow of beer and drinking food that won’t break the bank.
Octave
45/F, Marriott Bangkok Sukhumvit, Sukhumvit Soi 57, 02-797-0000. Open daily 6pm-1am.
This multi-level rooftop bar and restaurant on the top of new Marriott Sukhumvit offers a stylish modern-industrial décor that’s accentuated by views over Sukhumvit from the top deck. The first level, located on the 45/F, features a long balcony filled with sculptural sofa seating to one side and proper wooden dining tables to the other. Take the stairs up to the second level for private rooms and to the third level for another balcony bar where the unimpeded 360-degree view of Bangkok can be enjoyed from the circular open bar in the middle. The food menu is focused more on Asian-themed bar snacks than proper meals, but does feature intriguing nibbles like prawn yakitori with chili tomato sauce or potted foie gras terrine with compote and toast.
Riverside
Viva & Aviv
River City Complex, 23 Yota Rd., 02-639-6305. Open daily 11am-midnight. www.vivaaviv.com. Sri Phraya Pier.
Samsara
1612 Songwat Rd., 086-978-9331,02-639-6853. Open Tue-Thu, Sun 4pm-midnight, Fri-Sat 4pm-1am.
Tucked down a little alley behind Wat Pathumkongka in a charming old wooden house, Samsara makes a charming first impression. The place feels halfway between a gallery and a friend’s house, brimming as it is with personality: expect to find colorful vintage furnishings, all sorts of cat-related curios and paintings hanging on the wall. Most of the tables are set out on the terrace and reservations are a must for the ones with the best views. The tasty Thai cuisine is augmented by Japanese touches since some of the owners hail from Japan.
Balco
5/f, River City Shopping Complex, Charoen Krung Rd., 084-928-6161. Open Tue-Sun, 7pm-2am.
Balco is located in the same shopping mall as Viva & Aviv, yet offers a dramatically different view from its rooftop location. Situated in a bend of the Chao Praya, it allows you to look down two of the river’s watery boulevards at the same time, and all the surrounding five-star hotels, of course. The décor isn’t much—a mix of black rattan sofas set, TVs showing sports, and private rooms with pool tables—nor does this hard-to-find venue often get crowded. But did we mention the view?
Good Music
Cosmic Café
RCA Block C, Rama 9 Rd., 081-304-6907. Open daily 7:30pm-2am.
Despite its grungy atmosphere, Cosmic Café still remains one of the best place in Bangkok to catch a good gig due to the endless stream of new up-and-coming local bands both signed and unsigned plus the occasional international artists that grace its barely-there stage. The open-air space takes informal to glorious new heights: grab a seat with friends or just hang around out on the street till the band starts.
Moose
24 Ekkamai Soi 21, 02-108-9550. Open daily 5pm-1am.
The third creation of the Cosmic Café crew, Moose might not have a huge outdoor space, but the small terrace makes for a frightfully hip place to shoot the breeze. If you’re looking for a top soundtrack covering all the bases from Britpop, 60s-80s rock to electro-pop, as well as regular live bands, spicy Thai-inter fusion dishes and simple but tasty cocktails, this is your place. Make sure you drop by for their daily happy hour deal of buy-one-get-one-free on house wine, Asahi draught and classic cocktails from 5-8pm.
Play Yard
Lad Phrao Soi 8 (Yak 3), Lad Phrao Rd., 081-173-3616. Open daily 5:30pm-2am. MRT Phaholyothin (Exit 1).
Since its transformation from the long-standing Budda Bar a year ago, Play Yard By Studio Bar has made a big mark on the Bangkok underground music scene. On top of the ever-intriguing lineup of top indie bands from labels Smallroom Records, Parinam Music and Panda Records, the bar also has a pretty sizeable outdoor zone that just calls for ordering a tower of draught beer while watching the live English Premier League on the huge screens every weekend.
Zense Shintori Horizon
17-19/F, Zen, CentralWorld, Ratchadamri Rd. 02-100-9898. Open daily 5pm-1am. www.zensebangkok.com
After closing for renovations, the Zense rooftop restaurant reopened to a bit of buzz at the end of last year bringing a touch of the nightlife back to CentralWorld. The place offers a pleasant middle-ground between serious dining covering Italian, Thai, Indian, Japanese and desserts, and just chilling out on the balcony with views of the cityscape. One floor above, you’ll find Shintori, an upmarket izakaya with branches in Shanghai, Taipei and Beijing. With its minimalist, Zen-inspired décor, the venue plates up classic Japanese dishes with some fusion options. For those who want to keep things private, book the reservation-only outdoor terrace. That’s not all. Climb up another floor to reach Horizon, which occupies the space which belonged to Green Space a couple of years back. Horizon does also do food (Thai-international fusion) but the real emphasis is on nightlife. Order some molecular technique-inspired cocktails and head straight for the outdoor space where DJs spin electro.
Sala Rattanakosin
39 Soi Ta Tien, Maharaj Rd. www.salarattanakosin.com. Open daily from 5pm-1am.
Sala Rattanakosin is a relatively new addition to the Chao Phraya riverside, offering a stunning view of Wat Arun (even if the temple is currently covered in scaffolding). Boasting a restaurant, rooftop bar and a small number of guestrooms, half of the renovated four-story building is dedicated to fine wining and dining, courtesy of Chef Tony Wrigley, who whips up some pretty impressive Thai food. The highlight for us though is the rooftop bar where you can sip great house-blended cocktails.
Terraces
LB Terrasse
LB Terrasse is more than just some outdoor seating for adjoining restaurant Le Beaulieu, which made it into the top 10 of our Top Tables 2013 restaurant guide. Day beds and gazebos provide an atmosphere that evokes the beach club of a luxury resort. Warm orange lighting glows upwards onto the beige, minimal surfaces of the bar, and reflects off a massive glass case showcasing champagnes and wines. Here, you can order some of Chef Herve Frerard’s culinary magic in bite-sized portions from the tapas menu. The cocktails ain’t bad either, with a seasonal menu.
Badmotel
Next to J-Avenue, Thonglor Soi between Soi 15. 02-712-7288. BTS Thong Lo. Open daily 5pm-1am.
This new creation by the Mellow Restaurant & Bar people is housed in an abandoned three-story building across the road from Mellow. It was given a lick of white paint, street-art and a helping of neon-color furniture making it a spot that works equally well for dinner or drinks. On top of the bar and dining room, there’s a lovely garden out back. You can also look forward to the rooftop, which they normally only open for special occasion, being open for the whole winter.
Gossip
Thonglor Soi 15, 02-185-3093. Open daily 4pm-1am.
Gossip serves stiff drinks and excellent food courtesy of seasoned chef Julien Lavigne (formerly at D’Sens, now at Oskar and Gossip). But it also enjoys a large terrace, which despite being protected from the rain, is most definitely open-air. This winter, we’ll definitely be plonking ourseleves on the puffy bean-bag-like sofas out front with a Sky Ice Tea (Dreyberg liquor, Smirnoff vodka, tanqueray gin and elder flower) in hand.
Community Malls
SeenSpace
It’s hard to beat what this community mall has to offer in terms of variety when it comes to drinking outdoors. Gathered around a central courtyard, you’ve got Brew for ciders in a beer garden kind of atmosphere, Ashley Sutton’s Fatr Gut’z or his gimmicky Clouds. It tends to attract a lot of very drunk dek inter, but at least it’s the one place that everyone can agree on, since it offers a bit of everything.
Penny’s Balcony
Thonglor Soi 16. BTS Thong Lo. Open daily 5pm-1am.
The Penny’s Balcony shopping arcade is one of the very first mini-malls in Bangkok and is also the home the original branch of HOBs, which really built up the Belgian beer trend in Bangkok. (Who doesn’t serve Hoegaarden these days?) But in spite of growing competition, we like the variety here, whether it’s the laid back (and very girl-friendly) She Bar, the sophisticated and wine-centric Divino Wine Bar or the ever-hip Mellow Bar and Restaurant, which singlehandedly revived the whole mall.
Rain Hill
Sukhumvit Soi 47. 02-260-7447. www.rainhill47.com BTS Phrom Phong/ Thong Lo. Open daily 5pm-1am.
Opened earlier this year, Rain Hill has a lot of nondescript Japanese restaurants from Ramen Kio and Marugame Seimen and cutesy dessert joints like Penguin Likes Chocolate. But with plenty of balconies and terraces, it’s also got an abundance of outdoor drinking options. You can opt for the Wine Connection chain, or try the trendy cuisine at Shuffle. Here too, you’ll find a HOBs, which took over 2046’s terrace.
Salt
Ari Soi 4, 02-619-6886. Open Mon-Sat 5pm-midnight. Reservations Recommended
A dining room made of glass walls and concrete, a wooden house whose yard is packed with logs and plenty of outdoor seating make Salt a solid competitor for the crown of most elegant outdoor drinking spot in Ari. Try the Salt Swinging cocktail which comes with sparkling wine, cranberry and mandarin juice (B280) and signature dish seafood salt carpaccio (B300). You’ll love the sexy crowd of beautiful people and a solid play list that skips the popsanova (most of the time).
The Sixcret
11 Ekkamai Soi 6. 084-466-4686, 02-714-1812. Open daily from 5pm-1:30am. Parking available
You might get a distinct déjà vu feeling here—think Spring and Summer without the beanbags. This place manages to stand out from the others, though, thanks to the sheer size of the outdoor space and the garden’s collection of mature trees. Sangsom whisky (B366) is most popular but those a little more flush with cash can go for a pint of Hoegaarden (B266). There’s also the option of smoking sheesha out on the garden bench.
Seua Non Kin
231/2 Sukhumvit Soi 31, 02-662-1779. Open Mon-Sat 5pm-midnight. Parking available, Reservations Recommended, Live music
This two-story house remains a firm favorite and is often fully booked. The décor sees an eclectic mix of comfy vintage sofas, low-rise tables and decorative bric-a-brac. Start from the lightest Virgin Tiger (with light rum, B160) to the most potent Tiger Down (B180). As for the food, we say opt for the fiery Thai dishes like yam horapha nuea krob (beef salad with sweet basil leaves B160).
Indy Trees Bar
44/4 Cheua Plerng Rd., under Rama 4 Expressway, 02-249-0222-3. Open daily 5pm-1am.
With its rather mysterious location by a train track and under an expressway, Indy Trees Bar has that exclusive, in-the-know vibe. Decked out in a retro style, the bar has three different zones (there are even karaoke rooms), but we recommend the canopied garden where you’ll be treated to some ear candy by a mellow band. Drinks start at B130.
