About Cru Champagne Bar

Perched atop the Centara Grand & Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld, on the 59th floor, the CRU Champagne Bar is a haven for those who appreciate the finer things in life. The name of the bar is derived from the French term for vineyards of high quality, and it aims to redefine the art of champagne drinking in the city. With a 360° panoramic view of the stunning Bangkok skyline, the bar offers a refreshing retreat in the heart of the bustling city. It's the perfect spot to watch the sun set, plan a romantic date, celebrate special occasions, or simply unwind after a long day with a glass of fine champagne. The dress code is smart casual, and guests below 20 years of age are not permitted entry as per Thai law.

However, some visitors have expressed dissatisfaction with their experiences at the bar. Complaints have been made about the high prices, with some patrons feeling that they were overcharged for their drinks. One visitor was shocked to find that a mocktail cost over 1000 baht, and felt that other bars in the city, such as Octave or Tichuca, offered better views at a more reasonable price. The pricing system was also criticized, with prices not being immediately visible on the menu. Some patrons also found the staff, including the manager, to be unhelpful and impolite.

Another point of contention was the bar's policy of requiring each guest to order at least one drink. A group of four, who had just spent over $1600 AUD at dinner at Redsky downstairs, were disappointed to find that they could not simply enjoy the view without ordering a drink. When one member of the group, who was full from dinner, tried to order a sparkling water, they were told that this was not an acceptable option. The group decided to leave without ordering any drinks, feeling that the policy was unreasonable.

Despite these criticisms, many visitors have had positive experiences at the CRU Champagne Bar. The service has been praised as excellent, with staff members Wendy and Rene receiving special mention for their pleasant demeanor and proficiency in English. The music, which ranges from pop to more obscure tracks, has also been commended for keeping everyone entertained. The cocktails, while not particularly strong, were described as delicious.

The bar's stunning 360-degree view of Bangkok is undoubtedly its main draw. One visitor described it as the best view in the city, and urged others not to miss it. This visitor also shared a story about how bartender Tharayut went above and beyond to help him retrieve his phone, which he had left in a taxi. The visitor was deeply grateful for Tharayut's assistance, and for the hard work of the other staff members who had to cover for him while he was away.

Other visitors have also praised the bar's atmosphere, which is perfect for couples. One visitor took his fiancé there and she absolutely loved it. The cocktails were described as looking amazing, and the service was excellent. The staff's product knowledge was also commended. Another visitor praised the bar's music and view, and singled out servers Ping, Jean, and Kunsaya for their kindness.

The CRU Champagne Bar also offers a perfect spot for a sundowner. One visitor was shown the bar and was blown away by the view. The bar is located at the very top of the Centara Tower, on the 59th floor, with nothing but the sky above. The visitor enjoyed the Bangkok Bellinis and the nibbles, and praised the great DJ. The service, particularly from Nica and her colleagues, was described as perfect. The visitor expressed a desire to return to the bar, describing it as a perfect and relaxing place.
