Bangkok looks better from above. Vertigo TOO Sky Bar at the Banyan Tree Bangkok puts you on the 60th floor in an indoor lounge, with panoramic views of the city and the Chao Phraya River, plus a 1-hour or 2-hour unlimited-drinks pass that comes with light appetizers. The whole place feels like a night-out shortcut: get the skyline, get the cocktails, and you’re done.

What I like most is how the drinks and atmosphere are built for a smooth start to your evening. You’re not paying for a single round and hoping for the best. You’re paying for a set time to enjoy selected wines, beers, spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks, while you soak in that starry-ceiling vibe and DJ music.

One thing to consider: the voucher covers selected drinks, and the drinks available under that promotion can feel limited if you’re picky. If you only stay briefly, it can also feel overpriced, since the best value comes from actually using the full hour (or booking the 2-hour option).

What you get in this Vertigo TOO open bar experience

You’ll choose a 1-hour or 2-hour open bar voucher, then spend your time at Vertigo TOO, which sits just one floor below the rooftop Vertigo bar. The lounge is designed for lingering: comfy seating, a ceiling that looks like lights pinned to a night sky, and views that stretch across Bangkok.

Expect a mix of skyline watching and getting served. A mixologist works from a cocktail trolley to create personalized cocktails from the menu of included options, and you’ll have light appetizers/snacks along with the music.

Key points before you go

• 60th-floor indoor views of Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River
• 1-hour or 2-hour unlimited pass using a voucher for selected drinks
• Light appetizers included, not a full dinner
• DJ music and a swanky lounge feel with starry ceiling lighting
• Voucher drink selection can be limited, so plan your drink expectations

Vertigo TOO Sky Bar at Banyan Tree: the view and the lounge feel

The big draw here is elevation with style, without the mess of scrambling for a rooftop at the last minute. Vertigo TOO is an indoor bar high in the Banyan Tree, and it’s specifically perched at the 60th floor. Even though it’s indoors, you still get that open-air feeling because the glass and layout are built for looking out.

The setting is part theater. The bar has an arched ceiling dotted with lights, mimicking a starry night. It sounds like a small detail, but it matters when you’re trying to make Bangkok feel like a special evening instead of just another stop.

And yes, you’ll see the city. You can take in the Bangkok skyline and the Chao Phraya River from above. That combination is why this kind of bar pass works well for first-timers: it gives you an instant “wow” moment.

How the 1- or 2-hour unlimited pass really works

This experience is built around time blocks. You pick either a 1-hour or 2-hour voucher, and within that window you can enjoy unlimited drinks from the included list. That’s the core idea: you’re paying for a set amount of time plus a set set of drink types, not an unlimited buffet of every bottle behind the bar.

The included drinks are spelled out as selected wines, beers, spirits, cocktails, and soft drinks. Also, the exact menu items can change based on availability, so don’t assume you’ll get a specific brand or niche cocktail every night.

In practice, this means you should treat the voucher like a smart “bar budget” with a clock running. If you go in planning to do just one quick drink, you’ll often feel disappointed. If you go in ready to actually use the time, it starts making sense fast.

What’s included in your open bar: drinks, and the light bites piece

Let’s talk money value in plain terms. The pass includes unlimited drinks from a selected menu plus light appetizers. Light appetizers and snacks are great for taking the edge off, but they’re not positioned as a full meal.

You’ll get a mix of options for different moods: beer, wine, spirits, and cocktails, plus soft drinks. If you want a mixologist moment, the bar includes a staff-led approach where a mixologist creates personalized drinks using a cocktail trolley.

One honest caution: the voucher coverage isn’t unlimited in the sense of every single item on the entire bar menu. Some menu items may not be covered, and people notice when drink choices feel narrower than expected. If you’re the kind of person who always orders the “one perfect cocktail,” check your expectations and be flexible.

The good news is that snacks can carry their own weight here. People specifically call out that the snack options are delicious, and you can often choose extra food and pay the difference if you want something beyond what’s included.

Music and atmosphere: starry ceiling, DJ energy, and easy conversation

The vibe is modern lounge, not quiet museum-bar. You’ll have DJ music while you’re there, and the overall mood is designed for a relaxed evening. It’s loud enough to feel alive, but not described as chaotic.

That ceiling lighting is a big part of the mood. It’s easy to stop thinking about the schedule and just enjoy the scene. If you’re meeting someone, this is the kind of place where the views give you an instant conversation starter.

Also, the staff approach matters for how the experience feels. Reviews praise the service and the hotel and bar staff in general. When the service is friendly and the pace is smooth, the unlimited hour feels like it lasts longer.

The view: Bangkok skyline + the Chao Phraya from a high-floor bar

This is not a “quick photo and leave” stop. The views are the product. You’re up high enough to see the sweep of the city, and you’re positioned so you can take in the Chao Phraya River as part of the Bangkok picture.

In a city with traffic chaos, high-floor views feel like a mental reset. You look out and the city instantly feels more readable. If you’ve never been to Bangkok, it helps you understand where things are without trying to study a map in a tuk-tuk.

Practical tip: pick your seating based on sightlines, not just comfort. You can be in a great bar chair and still not have the angle you want. Aim for a spot where you can look out and watch the river and lights shift as the night deepens.

Timing tips: when to arrive, and which duration fits your plan

Your biggest decision is choosing 1-hour vs 2-hour. Here’s how I’d think about it.

If you’re on a packed itinerary and want one contained experience, the 1-hour pass can work. But you’ll want to order fast and pace your drinks intentionally. The bar includes light appetizers, so you don’t need to arrive empty-handed, but you also shouldn’t expect appetizers to turn into a full meal.

If you want the experience to feel like a real night out, pick the 2-hour option. It gives you breathing room for the view, music, and a couple rounds of drinks plus snacks. This is also the safer choice if you’re traveling with someone who likes to linger.

A real-world consideration from solo experience: if you’re by yourself and you only stay about 20 minutes, you might end up feeling like it wasn’t worth it. That doesn’t mean solo travelers can’t enjoy it. It just means you need to match the voucher structure with how long you’ll actually stay.

Service and “how staff make it feel easy”

One thing that comes through strongly is that the service is friendly. People mention good service from hotel and bar staff. That kind of attention matters because open bar passes can sometimes feel rushed or transactional. Here, the tone is more like a guided lounge visit: you get help, orders flow, and the staff keep things moving.

Also, there’s an entertainment element in the drink process. The mixologist operates from a cocktail trolley and helps craft your drink. Even if you’re not a cocktail person, that interactive setup makes ordering feel less like a chore and more like part of the experience.

Price and value: is $58.37 a smart buy?

At $58.37 per person, this isn’t the cheapest drink deal in Bangkok. But it’s also not trying to be. You’re paying for three things that can add up fast if you do them separately:

• A prime high-floor setting with panoramic views of the city and river
• An unlimited drinks window (selected drinks) for a set duration
• Light appetizers plus a full lounge experience with DJ music

The value equation gets better if you:

• Actually use most of your hour or book the 2-hour option
• Plan to try a few different included drinks rather than waiting for one perfect order
• Arrive ready to snack, not expecting a full dinner

If you’re likely to only have one beer and leave, you may feel the price pinch. If you’re going for the full vibe—views, drinks, music, and a couple bites—it tends to land as a reasonable splurge.

One more value note: menu items are subject to availability. That means the “included selection” can shift, so don’t lock your night on one specific drink.

Who should book Vertigo TOO Sky Bar?

This works best when you want a planned, low-stress evening with skyline payoff.

Great fit:

• Couples looking for a classy night with views
• Groups who want a simple shared plan: arrive, enjoy the open bar for a set time, soak up the view
• Anyone doing a first Bangkok visit who wants a high-impact moment without extra planning

Use caution if:

• You’re on a strict budget and won’t drink much
• You only want to hang out for a short window
• You’re very specific about exact cocktail brands or non-covered menu items

Solo travelers can enjoy it, but I’d be realistic: the voucher is time-based, so your enjoyment depends on how long you’ll stay and how many included drinks you’ll actually order.

Getting there and pairing it with the rest of your Bangkok night

Hotel transfers aren’t included, so plan your own ride. The good part is that it’s near public transportation, so you’re not stuck hiring a private car for the whole evening.

This kind of bar slot also pairs well with a dinner plan before or after. Because you only get light appetizers, think of it as the start (or middle) of your night, not the entire meal portion. If you want a complete dinner experience, plan that separately and let Vertigo TOO be the atmosphere and views stop.

Also, it’s an easy “anchor” for your evening. If your day in Bangkok runs long, you still have a defined start time for your bar visit, and once you’re there, the vibe does the work for you.

Should you book Vertigo TOO Sky Bar with unlimited drinks?

Book it if you want a high-floor Bangkok night that feels special right away. The panoramic river and city views, the starry lounge atmosphere, and the clear 1-hour or 2-hour unlimited-drinks structure make it a solid option for a first-timer, a date night, or a group plan that doesn’t require overthinking.

I’d think twice before booking if you’re likely to only stay a few minutes, or if your budget is strict and you won’t drink much. Also, if you’re extremely brand-specific about cocktails, remember the voucher covers selected options, and the menu can change.

For most people who want a scenic Bangkok evening with a set-price bar experience, it’s a smart splurge.
