Tucked at the very top of Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok, Bar.Yard is more than just a rooftop bar—it’s a vibrant urban jungle in the sky, with panoramic views, tropical charm, and a cool, unpretentious energy that makes you want to stay long after the sun has set.
I came here for cocktail hour, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. As the elevator doors opened, I was greeted by upbeat music, neon pops of color, lush greenery, and a crowd that felt stylish but chill—the kind of place where locals and travelers blend seamlessly. The whole space feels alive, buzzing just the right amount, without being overwhelming.
The views are stunning—especially during golden hour. From up here, you get a sweeping look at Bangkok’s skyline, softened by sunset tones and framed by palm fronds and whimsical lighting. It's tropical rooftop meets garden party, and it completely transforms your perspective of the city.
The cocktails? Playful, creative, and well-balanced. I tried a few house signatures, each one as visually fun as it was flavorful. Whether you’re into bold and boozy or light and citrusy, there’s something for every palate. The bartenders are friendly and more than happy to recommend something based on your mood.
What really stood out to me was the vibe. It’s not stiff or overly polished—it’s easygoing, social, and full of personality. It’s the kind of rooftop where you could dress up or dress down and still feel right at home. Whether you’re starting your night here or ending it with a last round under the stars, Bar.Yard delivers.
If you’re staying at Kimpton, it’s an absolute must-visit. If not, it’s still worth making the trip for the cocktails, views, and that infectious rooftop energy.
