ABar Rooftop

Rooftop Bar $$$

Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park's 37th-floor counter, where the view runs north across Benjasiri Park and a Singapore Sling is the order.

ABar Rooftop sits on the 37th floor of the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen's Park on Sukhumvit 22, an eight-minute walk from Phrom Phong BTS. The room opened with the hotel's 2016 rebrand and runs as a 110-seat indoor-outdoor counter facing north across Benjasiri Park to the Sukhumvit skyline.

This is the room for a drinker who wants a reliable hotel-bar rooftop without the Lebua or Banyan Tree wait. Skip it if the brief is a destination-bar tasting menu, or if a B280 cocktail is the budget.

Walk in or contact the bar via official channels. For weekend table seating, confirm hours through the bar's site or social pages.

The space runs as an L-shaped terrace wrapping the north and west sides of the 37th floor, with a 22-seat outdoor counter and a 60-seat indoor lounge for monsoon nights. Travel + Leisure Southeast Asia's 2023 Bangkok rooftop round-up called the outdoor counter 'the most reliable seat for a Sukhumvit sunset that does not need a reservation'.

The list runs short and the bar runs it on its own terms. Order from the signatures.

Skip the off-list improvisations on a first visit. The published list is the room's editorial position; the bartenders built every serve to earn its place.

The crowd is 70% hotel guests on a weeknight and 50% local Sukhumvit professionals on a Friday. r/bangkok rooftop threads consistently flag the 5:30pm to 6:30pm window as the best for an outdoor counter seat before the sunset rush.
