About this tour
When Tom from our team booked into Vertigo TOO at Banyan Tree Bangkok, we found ourselves in a slick rooftop lounge one floor below the hotel's flagship Vertigo bar — same knockout views of the city sprawling below, less of the eye-watering price tag. The unlimited open bar runs 1–2 hours depending on your package, and it's a straightforward setup: pick your poison from a decent cocktail list, a couple of wines, Thai beers, and mocktails, then grab one hot snack from the kitchen menu. The vibe is polished without being stiff, with live entertainment most evenings. It's the kind of spot Bangkok travellers hit when they want to say they've done the Banyan Tree thing without dropping a fortune.
Highlights
- Unlimited open bar for fixed time — genuine value at a luxury venue
- Sunset Punch and Gin Rickey cocktails hit the mark
- Live entertainment nightly creates sophisticated, buzzy atmosphere
- Spicy Cheese Lava Chicken Wings and soft shell crab both solid choices
- Wheelchair accessible throughout; lifts and smooth surfaces
- City views rival the main Vertigo bar, minus the queue
- Singha and Chang beers flow freely alongside spirits
What to expect
You'll head to the 61st floor (one storey below Vertigo proper) and find yourself in a lounge that feels upmarket without the stuffiness. The open bar concept is dead simple: staff hand you a list, you order what you fancy, and they keep pouring for your allocated hour or two. The cocktails are competent — nothing groundbreaking, but the Sunset Punch pairs well with the golden-hour light spilling across Bangkok. The live band or DJ (depending on the night) creates a proper social buzz without drowning out conversation.
The snack situation is the slight letdown. You get one hot item from a short kitchen menu — the chicken wings are genuinely spicy and tasty, the crab is tender — but it's clearly designed to keep you upright rather than impress. Expect the room to fill with a mix of expat finance types and tourists treating themselves. Queues at the bar are rare because the space isn't rammed, which works in your favour.

Good to know
This genuinely delivers value if you're after cocktails in a luxury Bangkok setting. The view is stunning, the unlimited format takes the sting out of rooftop pricing, and the vibe is celebratory without being pretentious. It suits groups keen to splash out for an evening without a massive commitment. Fully wheelchair accessible — lifts, smooth floors, accessible bathrooms — so accessibility isn't an afterthought here.
The food is a token gesture — one snack, and it's not why you're here. If you're hungry, eat before you arrive. The mocktail options are thin (three on the menu), so non-drinkers might feel sidelined. Peak times (Friday/Saturday 6–8pm) will pull a crowd. It's not cheap — you're paying for the address and the view, not just the drinks. Hotel transfers aren't included, so factor in Grab or taxi costs to get here.
Bring valid ID. Smart casual dress code (no singlets, thongs). Groups up to 10 work best; larger bookings need advance notice. Best visited at sunset or early evening when the light's golden and the city hasn't fully lit up yet.
