Bangkok: Gravity 87 Rooftop Lounge At Ramada Bangkok

Gravity 87 Rooftop Lounge gives you one of Bangkok’s simplest evening pleasures: a drink, a few shareable bites, and a broad view from above the city. The setting at Ramada by Wyndham Bangkok Sukhumvit 87 is made for a short sunset stop rather than an all-night dining mission.

I like the 90-minute format, which keeps the visit easy to fit into a busy Bangkok evening. I also like the food and beverage package for up to two people, since it can work well for a couple or two friends who want a rooftop view without committing to a full restaurant bill.

The main concern is consistency. The view has earned praise, but the experience has also drawn complaints about slow service, unclear package details, and food quality that did not match the price. Check exactly what your selected package contains before you pay, and arrive with realistic expectations.

Key points to know before booking

• Rooftop location: Gravity 87 sits atop Ramada by Wyndham Bangkok Sukhumvit 87 in central Bangkok.
• Short evening visit: The experience lasts 90 minutes, making it best for sunset drinks and light food.
• Food and drinks included: Packages include food and beverages, with bar bites, platters, cocktails, and beers among the advertised choices.
• Price for two: The listed rate is $20 per group of up to two people, though the exact package contents matter when judging value.
• Dress code applies: No swimwear, sportswear, slippers, or bare feet. Weapons, sharp objects, alcohol, and drugs are not allowed.
• Service is the wild card: The skyline view can be lovely, but reports include both good value and disappointing service.

A rooftop pause above Sukhumvit 87

Gravity 87 is the sort of place you choose for atmosphere first. You go up to enjoy Bangkok from a higher angle, settle into a comfortable seat, and spend part of the evening with a drink and food made for sharing.

The lounge is at the top of Ramada by Wyndham Bangkok Sukhumvit 87. The supplied information describes cozy seating, chill music, and sunset views, so you should picture a relaxed hotel rooftop rather than a formal fine-dining room. That distinction matters. This is a casual social stop with a polished setting, not a long tasting menu or a structured sightseeing tour.

The view is the clearest reason to book. From a rooftop, Bangkok’s traffic and dense streets become part of a larger city scene. At sunset, the light should be the main event, followed by the gradual appearance of city lights. One direct rating described the experience as good for the price and view, which neatly captures its strongest appeal.

I would aim for the opening time that lets you catch the sunset, if that timing is offered on your date. The activity lasts only 90 minutes, so a late arrival cuts into the part that makes the visit special.

What your 90 minutes look like

This is not a guided tour with a named guide or a sequence of sightseeing stops. No guide names are provided, and the experience is centered on the lounge itself. You arrive, settle into the rooftop space, and use the included food and beverage package during the allotted 90 minutes.

The first few minutes are important. Give yourself time to locate the correct hotel and rooftop area, then check that the staff understands the package attached to your booking. This is practical advice, not fussiness. One poor experience involved confusion about the included service, and another involved a guest waiting at what appeared to be a closed venue.

Once seated, the meal is built around bar bites and platters. These are foods designed to share over drinks, so the package makes the most sense for two people who are happy to sample several small items rather than order a large dinner. The available description does not provide a fixed menu, dish names, portion sizes, or a precise drink list. You should not assume that every advertised item comes with every package.

The beverage side includes creative cocktails and beers, described as rooftop favorites. That gives the visit a social, easygoing feel. If you prefer a beer, you have a straightforward choice. If you want something more distinctive, a signature cocktail may better fit the setting. Still, ask what is included before ordering anything extra, since the package details are not fully spelled out.

The last part of the visit is best spent simply enjoying the view. The lounge is aimed at unwinding, celebrating, or meeting friends. You are not being rushed through a sightseeing schedule, but the 90-minute limit does mean this is a compact experience. It works for a pre-dinner drink, a sunset break, or a small celebration. It is less suited to anyone seeking a full evening meal.

Food and beverage value for two

At $20 per group of up to two, the headline price looks appealing for a rooftop setting. If the package supplies a useful spread of food and at least two drinks, the cost can be a sensible way to buy the view without paying for separate premium orders.

The catch is that the value depends on what food and beverage means for your exact selection. The information names bar bites, platters, cocktails, and beers, but does not list quantities or substitutions. A low package price can feel very good when it covers enough for two people. It can feel less attractive if the portions are small or if the drinks are limited.

I would treat this as a light meal or substantial snack, not automatically as dinner for two. That keeps your expectations in line with the format. The food is there to support the drinks and setting, rather than serve as the sole reason for the visit.

Food quality is another point to watch. One booking was judged poor value because the food did not seem good enough for its price. That does not erase the positive value assessment from another booking, but it does show that you should book this mainly for the combination of view, drinks, and atmosphere. If excellent cooking is your top priority, a dedicated Bangkok restaurant may be a safer choice.

Cocktails, beer, and the rooftop mood

Gravity 87 is designed around relaxed drinking. Creative cocktails give the experience a little more character than a standard hotel bar, while beer offers a familiar and uncomplicated option. The setting should appeal to you if you like having a city view without the noise and pressure of a large nightlife venue.

The supplied description points to chill music and cozy seating. Those details suggest a place for conversation rather than a club. You might use it for a low-key birthday, a date, or a first stop before continuing elsewhere in Sukhumvit.

Do not expect the package to solve every preference. There is no stated information about nonalcoholic drinks, cocktail ingredients, beer brands, or special dietary choices. If those details matter to you, ask before booking or before accepting an included drink. Alcohol and drugs are not allowed as outside items, and the activity information specifically prohibits alcohol and drugs in the restricted-items section.

The atmosphere also depends heavily on service. A rooftop lounge can look excellent in photographs, yet the evening still depends on being greeted promptly, receiving the correct food, and understanding what you paid for. Two low ratings described service problems, including an apparent lack of attention on arrival. That is the biggest practical risk here.

Sunset views and city lights

The view is the experience’s strongest asset. You are not coming to Gravity 87 for a major monument or a guided lesson. You are coming to see Bangkok from above while food and drinks give you a reason to stay.

Sunset should be the target. The information specifically highlights an unbeatable sunset view, but no exact direction, floor height, or guaranteed unobstructed viewpoint is provided. I would therefore think of the view as a major possibility, not a promise that every seat will have the same angle.

After the sun drops, the city-light setting takes over. This is when the lounge’s comfortable seating and quiet music matter most. You can enjoy the change from daylight to evening without needing to move between several bars.

The rooftop does not replace a full Bangkok sightseeing plan. It gives you a pause and a perspective. That is valuable after a hot day, especially if you want something easier than a long dinner or a night of moving through crowded entertainment areas.

Dress rules and arrival advice

The dress code is stricter than the relaxed rooftop mood might suggest. Swimwear, sportswear, slippers, and bare feet are not allowed. Wear clean, presentable clothing and proper shoes so you are not turned away or made uncomfortable at the entrance.

Weapons and sharp objects are prohibited, along with alcohol and drugs. These rules are straightforward, but they are worth checking before you leave your hotel, especially if you have been spending the day at a pool or beach-style venue.

Transportation is not included. You need to arrange your own way to Ramada by Wyndham Bangkok Sukhumvit 87. Because the venue is inside a hotel, allow a little time to find the right entrance and rooftop area rather than arriving at the last minute.

I would also keep your booking confirmation ready on arrival. The package details can be unclear, so showing the exact reservation may help you and the staff agree on what has been purchased. Confirm the food, drink allowance, and time limit before settling in.

Service: the main uncertainty

The experience has a middling overall rating of 3.4 from 10 ratings. That number tells you to look beyond the attractive price and skyline photographs.

The positive side is clear: one rating gave the visit five stars and called it good for the price and view. That supports the idea that Gravity 87 can work well when your priorities are scenery, a casual drink, and a modest package.

The negative side is specific. One visitor described poor service, an unclear package, and food that felt far too expensive for its quality. Another arrived to what seemed like a closed venue, waited for the bartender, and felt ignored despite only a few people being present. These are not minor complaints if you are planning a special occasion.

I would not book this for a celebration where every detail must run perfectly. For a flexible sunset stop, the risk is easier to accept. If the staff is attentive and your package arrives as expected, the view can carry much of the experience. If the welcome is poor or the inclusions are unclear, the same 90 minutes may feel frustrating.

Who will enjoy Gravity 87 most

I think this works best for:

• Couples who want a short rooftop drink and shareable food
• Friends looking for a relaxed skyline setting
• Visitors who value sunset views more than a formal meal
• People who want a pre-dinner stop in the Sukhumvit area
• Budget-minded bookers who confirm the package details first

It is a weaker fit for you if you want a guaranteed full dinner, polished high-end service, a long evening, or a carefully explained cocktail program. It is also not ideal if you dislike dress codes or need clearly stated dietary and beverage options before booking.

The 90-minute length is useful for some people and limiting for others. I like it because you can add Gravity 87 to a larger Bangkok evening. You can enjoy the view, finish the included food and drinks, then continue elsewhere. If you want to linger for several hours, the package may feel too short.

Should you book this rooftop package?

Book Gravity 87 if your main goal is a casual rooftop setting with a sunset view, and if the $20 package clearly covers enough food and drinks for two. The price can be worthwhile when you see it as a light shared meal with a city backdrop.

Be cautious if food quality and service are your top concerns. The view receives the strongest praise, while the uneven service and unclear inclusions are the main drawbacks. Check the package contents, arrive in suitable clothing, and allow time to find the venue.

For a flexible evening, I would consider it. For a special occasion with no room for mistakes, I would choose a place with clearer menu details and a stronger service record.
