Escape Rooftop

Our take

Judge it as a view bar and you'll shrug — five floors up, towers on every side. Judge it as what it actually is, a beach club smuggled onto a mall roof, and it's one of Sukhumvit's loveliest easy evenings: hanging vines and fairy lights, a mostly local crowd, and a kitchen that earns its own following — the salt-and-pepper squid and sticky wings are crowd favorites. Come hungry rather than dressed up.

Insider tip

BTS Phrom Phong delivers you straight into EmQuartier, so there's zero taxi maths — ride up, arrive before 7 PM for the two-for-one cocktail window, and claim a table under the vines before the after-work crowd does.
