Best Rooftop Bars in Bangkok: Speakeasy Rooftop Bar
It’s very easy to speak good things about the Speakeasy Rooftop Bar. This alcoholic gem is one of the most underrated picks from our list of Best Rooftop Bars in Bangkok.
Speakeasy by name, and Speakeasy by nature…
This bar atop the Hotel Muse is split into two floors, both boasting two completely different benefits depending on the drinking experience you’re looking for.
The lower floor is the much more intimate of the two levels of inebriation. Very narrow and star-studded alleyways wrap around the crown of the building. This is a great place to take a hot date or your oh-so-significant other, before surprising them with what lies on the floor above…
As we mentioned, this is a Speakeasy bar and comes with a secret that all drinkers will want to unravel.
Through a very unassuming sliding door, you’ll be getting access to the super secret second floor. We’ll let you find out what makes the second floor so special. No spoiler alerts on our watch!
Location: Hotel Muse Bangkok, 24th & 25th Floor 55/555 Soi Langsuan, Lumpini, Pathumwan, Bangkok 10330, Thailand – VIEW MAP

Best Rooftop Bars in Bangkok: CRU Rooftop Bar
In the grand scheme of Bangkok rooftop bar things, CRU is only a little whippersnapper. The latest and potentially the greatest addition to the best rooftop bars in Bangkok collective.
The name CRU (pronounced ‘cru’) means a top quality French vineyard and goes some way to personifying the calibre of the audience that this bar is looking to attract.
Fancy pants…
CRU serves mostly champagne and selection of the most highly regarded ‘crus’, so if you’re looking for an exceptionally swanky experience then assemble all the crew and march on up to CRU.
Head in the clouds…
Undoubtedly, one of the reasons this bar has hit the rooftop headlines is the unbelievable 360˙ degree panoramic view that gazes out over the entire city. You’d be forgiven for creaming your panties over the scintillating sunset.
Best in the show…
This view is, from our humble perspective, the creme de la creme of skyline sights you’ll get from our list of the best rooftop bars in Bangkok.
