Bangkok's Overrated Rooftop Bar Experience

Moon Bar, known for its prime location offering panoramic city views, seems to rely on its setting rather than the quality of its drinks. The bar has a minimum spend policy, with prices starting at 800 THB for a drink and totaling around 1200-1400 THB per person for two drinks including service and tax. Our group of three tried three signature cocktails, each disappointing. The Amore Negroni barely resembled a classic Negroni, lacking flavor and alcohol content. The other two drinks tasted like juice with alcohol, lacking creativity, though they were visually appealing. The ice used was ordinary crushed ice, not the clear blocks expected at this price point. While the night view is stunning and the dining area service is friendly, it is slow, taking 20-30 minutes to settle the bill, likely due to the crowd. The service did not match the price level. Additionally, there is a dress code; I was required to wear shoes provided by the bar as I was in sandals. Upon leaving, my shoes were mixed up, and the staff was inattentive, diminishing the overall experience. #Bangkok #BangkokBars #RooftopBars
