There are many Bangkok sky bars. The Dome Sky Bar at Lebua State Tower and Red Sky, Central World come to mind. However a review of the latter stated "children not allowed". Prices are expensive, and especially for dinner I would review the menu prices first.

Three-Sixty at the Millennium on the River - Many people claim this to be the best rooftop bar in Bangkok
Octave at Marriott Sukhumvit Soi 57 - My personal fave, but the hotel is a fave, too.

Your hotel concierge should be able to tell you whether your children would be allowed in the bar at the time you plan to go.

My favorite is Sky Bar at Lebua. Children seven years and older are welcome if accompanied by an adult. Policies and Dress Code. The atmosphere is fine for children. Bangkok Magazine article.
I wouldn't eat there, however. (The restaurant is called Sirocco.) My friends who have tell me that the food is OK, just C+/B-. Essentially you're paying for the view, not the food. And it's extremely expensive. Last time I was there I took a look at the menu; dinner could easily approach $200 per person. Here's the menu; note the absence of prices.

I recently stayed at the Continent Hotel at Asok. They have a restaurant/bar on the 38th (ish) floor. So not as high as some of the others. I thought the food was pretty good though and not too crazy expensive. View is decent but not super special.
I would imagine that someplace on the river would be a better view in general.

Don't know if the OP is still reading, however I would suggest the buffet at the top of baiyoke tower, formerly the tallest building in bkk. The city views are good and the buffet is cheap with solid "B" food and a fairly wide spread of cuisines. Depending on the age of the children, there is an option to head outside and take in the city views from an open air rotating observation deck.
EDIT: would also suggest the restaurant on the 25th floor of the Grand China Hotel in Chinatown. Has a nice lounge-y vibe and is convenient if you've been sightseeing.
Have a great trip!

For roof top bars, my favourite (though I haven't been to that many) is Park Society at the So Sofitel. Lovely atmosphere and a good view. Prices are pretty high for Bangkok but much cheaper than Lebua with a much nicer atmosphere. Love the view too.

Wow $6 USD for the special beer? Is that a half liter pour?

It's a pint so, yeah, 500 ml.
Craft beer, on the whole, is quite expensive in Thailand (thanks to the protectionist tariff schemes to shield Chang, Leo, and Singha from competition.) Prices in Bangkok - from what I've seen at various locations - are rarely under 300 thb for a pint of draft beer from Stone, Anderson Valley, etc.
A 12 oz bottle of Anderson Valley, in a supermarket, is priced at over 200 thb here in Chiang Mai.
