The pitch: an editor's read on Scarlett Wine Bar
Scarlett Wine Bar sits on the 37th floor of Pullman Bangkok Hotel G at 188 Silom Road, a six-minute walk from Surasak BTS. The room has operated since 2014 and the BK Magazine rooftop guide continues to list it among the city's mid-budget rooftop picks for couples and small groups.
This is the room for a drinker who wants a Bangkok skyline and a structured wine list at B450 cocktails, not a Sky Bar Lebua price tag. The view sweeps north toward Lumphini and west to the river. Skip a Friday before 8pm if the western terrace is the target.
The room: a closer read
The bar runs as a long indoor counter that opens onto a wraparound terrace on the building's north and west sides. The Bangkok Post's 2023 hotel-bar review called the terrace 'the most photographable mid-budget rooftop in Silom', with the river on one side and the Sathon spine on the other.
The most photographable mid-budget rooftop in Silom.
What to order, and what to skip
The list runs short and the bar runs it on its own terms. Order from the signatures.
Skip the frozen tropical builds. The list rewards a wine pour or a classic over a blender drink.
The crowd: who shows up, and when
The crowd is mixed expat and tourist couples between 7pm and 9pm, with Bangkok-based finance regulars filling the indoor counter after 10pm. The Infatuation's 2024 Bangkok rooftop list placed Scarlett in its 'first-week-in-the-city' tier.
What regulars say
- “Book the terrace before 8pm. Walk-ins get the indoor counter.” (r/bangkok rooftop thread, 2024)
- “Wine list is the value. Cocktails are fine.” (Google Maps review, August 2025)
- “Thursday at 6pm is the sweet spot.” (Google Maps review, December 2025)
- “Better than Lebua at half the price.” (TripAdvisor review, March 2026)
Who it is for
- Couples who want a Silom rooftop without a Sky Bar Lebua bill.
- A first Bangkok rooftop visit before the night moves to a counter cocktail room.
- Wine-by-the-glass drinkers shopping the French list.
- Avoid if a counter cocktail night is the goal. BKK Social Club covers that on Rajadamri.
