Ploenchit, Bangkok

About

Up & Above is the refined rooftop restaurant and bar on the 24th floor of The Okura Prestige Bangkok, a luxury five-star Japanese hotel right by Ploenchit BTS in the upscale Ploenchit area. Rather than a typical open-air party rooftop, it blends a stylish, glass-walled indoor bar and restaurant with an outdoor half-moon terrace lined with comfortable lounge seating and panoramic skyline views. The atmosphere is calm, elegant and understated, with soft lighting and a minimalist design that makes it ideal for proper conversation and unhurried drinks. The all-day dining menu spans international cuisine from breakfast through dinner, along with an afternoon tea service and one of Bangkok's best-regarded Sunday brunches. The cocktail list leans Japanese, with signature drinks built around sake, yuzu and other subtle flavours. Indoor tables can be reserved, while the terrace operates on a first-come, first-served basis. The dress code is smart casual. Hotel guests also enjoy access to an exclusive rooftop pool alongside the bar and restaurant.

SIWILAI City Club

SIWILAI City Club is a 1,200 square-metre rooftop restaurant and bar on Level 5 of the Central Embassy luxury mall in the Ploenchit district, serving as SIWILAI's lifestyle and dining arm. The venue is built around a Beach in the Sky concept, transforming the elevated open-air terrace into a serene coastal escape with wooden decks, large communal tables, comfy lounge chairs and touches of greenery, all set against a backdrop of Bangkok's high-rise skyline. The relaxed, resort-like atmosphere makes it a popular spot for sundowners and easygoing daytime lounging. The drink menu offers a strong mix of cocktails, wines and local craft beers, while the food leans toward comfort dishes and sharing plates with a Thai and Mediterranean twist. It is an ideal chill-out venue rather than a party bar, best enjoyed in the late afternoon and at sunset. It is directly accessible from Ploenchit BTS station via the Central Embassy mall. Reservations are recommended, particularly for weekend evenings.

Aman Lounge

Aman Lounge is the refined cocktail bar of the ultra-luxury Aman Nai Lert Bangkok, set high in the hotel tower overlooking the tranquil greenery of Nai Lert Park in the upscale Ploenchit district. It is a sophisticated, intimate setting for cocktails, rare vintage spirits and Japanese-inspired izakaya-style bar bites, with sweeping views over the Bangkok skyline that make it an idyllic sunset vantage point. The cocktail menu is rooted in Godai, the ancient Japanese philosophy that the world is shaped by the interplay of five elements, and is curated by Michele Montauti, the hotel's Director of Beverage and Bars. The space is warm and elegant, with wood paneling, floor-to-ceiling windows, candlelit seating, a polished wooden bar counter and a grand piano. Nightly live music, featuring vocalists across a range of genres, adds to the intimate, high-end atmosphere. The hotel opened in April 2025 and is regarded as one of Bangkok's most exclusive addresses. Access is primarily for hotel guests, residences and Aman Club members, though outside guests may sometimes reserve in advance subject to availability. Reservations are handled through the hotel's booking system, and the crowd skews affluent, polished and international.

Hair of the Dog

Hair of the Dog is one of Bangkok's pioneering craft beer bars, tucked away on the 2nd floor of Mahatun Plaza just steps from Phloen Chit BTS station. The bar pours 13 rotating draft taps sourced from world-class breweries around the globe, backed by hundreds of curated bottled beers and a serious gin selection, earning it a reputation as a craft beer institution since opening in 2015. The interior leans into a quirky, offbeat concept blending medical and industrial aesthetics, complete with an actual straitjacket used for entertainment, creating a dark and mysterious atmosphere that encourages socializing. Knowledgeable staff are known for their friendly service and readiness to explain the story behind each brew to help guests find the right pour. It spans two floors and attracts a mix of expats, beer geeks, and after-work professionals in the central Ploenchit/Chidlom business district. A sister branch operates in Phrom Phong. The venue celebrated its 8th anniversary in June 2023, underscoring its staying power in Bangkok's competitive craft scene. It is a go-to destination for anyone chasing hard-to-find international craft beer in the city center.
