Open-air rooftop on Wireless Road with creative cocktails, contemporary bar snacks and sunset views over embassies, treetops and the city skyline.
CHAR Rooftop Bar sits on the 26th floor of Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road, just high enough to look over embassy gardens, tree canopies and the growing skyline around Ploenchit. The space is mostly open-air and semi-outdoor, with modern, easygoing design: dark metal, warm lighting, an orange-brick mural wall and a bar that feels more like a local favourite than a grand hotel lobby. It’s a rooftop for sunsets, after-work drinks and unhurried conversations rather than complicated dress codes.
You step out of the lift directly into the bar. One side opens to a semi-outdoor area with high tables and bar stools; further along, the terrace stretches towards the corner where you get those 180-degree views over Wireless Road, Ploenchit and the green grounds of the nearby embassies. The mix of trees and towers gives the view a slightly softer edge than many more centrally placed rooftops.
As the sun drops, the line of buildings picks up a warm glow, the sky turns pastel and the terrace slowly fills. The crowd is a blend of hotel guests, Wireless Road office workers and people who clearly came just for this rooftop. The mood is chatty rather than wild: friends sharing snacks, couples leaning on the rail, solo guests with a drink and a camera catching the city as it shifts from sunset to night.
On some evenings, DJs or light entertainment add a bit of energy without overpowering the space. It stays firmly in “lively lounge” territory rather than turning into a full-on party bar, which suits the setting above this quieter stretch of the city.
CHAR Rooftop Bar works with a concise menu designed for drinking and sharing. Expect contemporary bar snacks—antipasto platters, Mediterranean-style mezze, fried calamari, small plates you can pick at—rather than a heavy, sit-down multi-course dinner. The kitchen draws on the grill-focused restaurant one floor below, so quality feels closer to a proper dining room than to basic bar food.
The cocktail list leans into approachable signatures and well-made classics. You’ll find spirit-forward options, fresher citrus- and herb-based drinks, and a handful of sweeter, easy sippers alongside wine, beer and mocktails. Happy hour promotions and seasonal deals appear regularly—often early evening—making it easy to treat this rooftop as a casual, repeatable stop rather than a once-in-a-trip splurge.
Dress code is smart casual. Officially, CHAR does not permit athletic wear, torn clothing, slippers, beach sandals or flip-flops, which matches the slightly polished yet relaxed atmosphere. Think shirt or blouse, long trousers or a dress and closed shoes; you’ll fit right in.
