3 Angels Bar
Pattaya
Soi 6
(Soi Yodsak)
www.3angelssoi6.com |
3 Angels Bar
Opened in August 2006 replacing DMTs. Reports of fun in the bar.
News from
Pattaya Secrets, August 2006: Angel
Showers
After several weeks of renovations, 3 Angels has reopened on the site
of the now defunct DMT's on Soi 6. from the outside, you wouldn't really
notice anything different. Signs have changed, girls haven't.
Inside the main bar, it still looks pretty much the same. Mirrors with
Xmas lights around them remain. New sofas and wall treatments and the
addition of a big bike on display (presumably the angels in the name are
more to do with motorbikes than celestial singing)
DMT's, like
most Soi 6 bars, had shit rooms, shit beds, shit showers and shit
lighting. Not anymore. The new Dutch owner spent the money where it
counts: In the bedroom. New entrance, new doors, new walls, flooring,
everything. Looks like a proper Western-style budget hotel now.
Gone is the communal shower with the half-working hot water and
obligatory bucket. Now each room has its own shower with good water temp
and pressure. There is inset incandescent lighting and new beds and
mattresses.

6 Up Pattaya So6 (Soi Yodsak)
www.pookswanhouse.com |
6 Up
The now open upstairs bar at Pook is said to feature girls. It seems
a strange idea as the downstairs bar is solidly lady boy. I generally
give the lady boys a wide birth and don't really fancy pushing past them
to a rather unknown upstairs bar.
Note September 2009: Lady Boys
It is reported that lady boys now wander upstairs to mix with the
girls

Soi 6
(Soi Yodsak) (centre) |
Amsterdamaged
Short time bar, taking over from Love Club. Opened 30th April
2010. Sporadic opening in 2011.
News August 2011: Closed
There are reports of the bar now being intermittently closed
Review June 2010: First Impressions
The bar has been a bit low key since opening with just 2 or 3
girls standing outside. At least they weren't lady boys so I thought
I would take the opportunity for a look see.
The girls were sitting outside rather than in the Amsterdam style
windows. Perhaps a bit unsurprising that the girls like to have a
chat whilst waiting for customers rather than sitting on their own.
Inside is a smart looking, good quality bar with wooden style
double benches arranged around the central open plan area. There are
also a couple of bays of inviting looking, and more private booth
seating.
The cashier was keeping the bins at her counter rather than
bringing them to the customer's table. This seems to be a
commonplace way of operating on Soi 6 these days and is totally
reprehensible in my books. It seems to do nothing for the customer's
interests, but enables easy bin padding opportunities for the staff.
At some bars towards the 2nd Road end of Soi 6, the technique is
also used to hide high drinks prices until it is time to settle up.
Anyway no such problems at Amsterdamaged, where the drinks were
reasonably priced with a beer at 80 Baht and a lady drink at 100
Baht.
It's early days for Amsterdamaged but at least an attractive bar
will provide a good starting point.
Update, May 2010: Open Doors but
Closed Windows
The idea of getting girls to sit in windows doesn't seem to have
panned out. More worryingly I have spotted mostly lady boys outside
the bar so far.
News from Amsterdamaged April 2010
There is a new bar soon to open on Soi 6 that will give Pattaya
visitors a taste of Amsterdam.
As you may suspect, the bar is inspired by the red light windows of
Amsterdam and from the experience of living nearby the fabled district
known as De Wallen
The owners have tried to turn the bar into the same as you would
expect in the dam ie girls in the windows, private booths inside
(3), and mirrored short time rooms (3) all on-suite.
The girls are said to be very excited about the mirrors.
There will also be a dance stage at the front with a pole. There will
also be welcome girls to usher customers in.
The beer prices will remain the same as the old Love Club.
There will be an official opening on Saturday 1st May and there will
be a soft opening on Friday 30th April.

The
Bee Bar
Short time bar
Reader review, Dec 2006: Bee
There
A few changes seem to have occurred in this bar over the last year.
The main one is a stock of new pretty girls. The general atmosphere in
the bar definitely seemed different from all other bars down the street
when I visited it.
The staff are polite and friendly. Drinks are very reasonably priced.
You can go and have your fun nearby with your new "friend" then come
back and relax in the bar and even have a game of pool on the nice
slate-bed table.
If you want to listen to your favourite song you can be your own DJ
on the computer disco system. It's definitely worth a visit even if you
only want to play pool against their resident Thai lady pool hustler.
She will out-drink and out-play you time and time again!

Bret
Bar
Short time bar renamed from Christina May's.
News August 2009: Changed Hands
Changed hands and became Z Bar in March 2011.
News August 2009: Open
The remodelling previously mentioned is in fact to make the bar
totally open. The bar previously had a smallish inside area but I guess
the lack of air conditioning made it a little less inviting than it
should have been.
The bar was clearly attracting mostly the people that like open bars
so it makes sense, but for me lack of aircon and privacy makes it an
unusual bar style for Soi 6 that generally hasn't got a good track
record.
News August 2009: Barfines Down
May is just wrapping up a major remodelling of the bar area. She has
also dropped the bar fines! LT barfine has gone from 1000 baht before
8pm, 500 after, to 500 baht before 8pm. 300 after. ST dropped from 500
to 300.
News April 2008: Bret Passes Away
Bret of Bret Bar in Soi 6 suffered a heart attack and auto crash in
October of 2006, rendering him essentially incapacitated. Recovery was
very slow for Bret, but there was clear progress being made through
2007. Recently, however, that changed, and his health went into a rapid
decline. Last Tuesday, April 22, his heart problems overcame him.

The Bullring Bar

Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (near 2nd Road) |
The
Bullring Bar
Short time bar
Review July 2008: Bullshit
Lured in by a suitably good looking girl, but then things went
downhill a bit. The girl was a little demure but was friendly enough.
I ordered a lady drink and then noticed that the bin hadn't yet
appeared at my table for my beer. The lady brought back her drink but
still no bin. I asked the girl to bring the bin and had a look. The Thai
whiskey & coke lady drink was a whopping 140 Baht. No wonder they
weren't keen on showing the bill.
I asked the girl and she reckoned that she will only receive 20 Baht
of the 140.
Somehow put me off the business in hand and I went in search of
another bar more deserving of my trade. A bit of a shame as I didn't
find another girl as deserving of my trade.
Review May 2008: Friendly Cows?
Always seems quiet but they seem to have a few pretty girls on hand.
I have always been looked after well in the bar
There is a computerised music system with every track known to man.
They allow a bit of naughty stuff in the bar but they make of a play
of shutting doors and standing guard. Easier just to retire upstairs.
Review April 2007: No Bull
There's no bar theme linking the bar with either Spanish bull
fighting or even the Birmingham shopping centre. No, just a typical
small soi 6 bar complete with the usual 2 person sofas.
My drinking companion reckoned that the bar was Thai owned.
The bar seemed well run and the bar tabs were fair with bottled beer
going for 70-75 Baht (strangely two prices for the same brand of beer
though!)
But as always, merits in this type of bar are down to the hostess of
choice. My selection was eloquent, witty, pretty and suitably enticing
so the bar was therefore a hit.

Bus Stop Bar
Pattaya
Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (near 2nd Road) |
Bus
Stop Bar
Short time bar & guest house
Review from Dave, May 2009: Under
new management
Under new management since the start of the year and it is now run by
a Kiwi guy and his partner. Completely new set of girls since my visit
there last year.
There were about 7 girls there ranging from 5's to 7's out of 10 and
contrary to the previous comment, I would have been able to bar fine any
of them, the girl must have been having a bad day.
Not as good as it used to be but the new guy will probably be trying to
find his feet as he is new to the Pattaya scene.
At this point in time, I would just call it an average bar.
Review Feb 2009: Knocked Back
There were few girls at the door, but one was good looking so I
thought I would give it a try. But the cutie refused to come in with me.
I hope the Soi 7/8 trick of keeping the prettiest girl on the door isn't
coming to Soi 6.
Probably the girl was just being picky. Anyway to avoid having my ego
sapped again I will give the bar a miss.
Thanks to Jay, June 2008: Volume
The bar tends to have the music volume set too loud for interviews or
conversation depending on how you look at it. Requests to get it turned
down granted but it wasn't long before the volume would edge up again.
Spoilt a good chat with a cutie.
Review from Funseeker, June 2008:
No Urge to Leave
I have just come back from Pattaya and what a time I had, in fact it
was the best holiday I ever had.
Was made very, very, welcome at the Bus Stop bar, in fact I spent most
of my time there (woo hoo) I never felt the urge to leave Soi 6 in the
night time as it was full of beautiful girls.
I travelled around Pattaya but Bus Stop was the best place and prices
were good at Bt500 short time and Bt1000 long time, if you wanna stay
there it is only Bt650 per night
Beers were Bt80 and the Aussie owner (Dave) was a great bloke who told
me the best places to go in Pattaya and he even showed me them
personally (fantastic).
Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
News, Apr 2008: Private Bus
The open bar idea was not a complete success so now there is a closed
section set back into the bar.

The Butterfly Bar
Short time bar.
Review from James, March 2011: Knowing
How to party
I tried several short time bars in Soi 6. Butterfly &
neighbour Superstar, were great fun.
There were a few Cuties ladies in both bars. I preferred Butterfly,
less girls but they're friendly and know how to party and be fun too.
Good sex too of course. I had fun with Som and Leedear,
great bodies! In Superstar, Bee is also really cute. I paid
300+1000 for ST, but figure out after that it could work for 1000 all
inclusive...I did not care really as ladies were great. Bar fine was 700
at first, then become 500 later...
Review from Malcolm, January 2010:
Nicest Room
S.T. 300 for bar, 700 for girl. Nicest S.T. room I have seen. Not en
suite but shower room good also.
Review from jj, July 2006: Fly In
Butterfly Bar is an all too typical Soi 6 ST bar. Nicely appointed in
wood and tile with comfortable sofas and discreet cubicles, it is a
perfect example of mediocrity and the paramount importance of the staff.
The current owner seems to have sunk a fortune into the place, but no
matter how attractive the decor, no matter what the owner's intentions,
the ladies in residence are the key to return business.
The
curtains on the cubicles showed promise of special things to come. False
alarm. Our ladies-of-the-hour were attractive, funny and talkative, but
generally non-responsive, allowing a minimum of grab and tickle. Some
bars have a complete lack of ambience but fun girls. Fun ladies trump
decor any time.
Butterfly reportedly has a staff of 10 but on
this week night only 6 were in evidence. They reportedly are all
non-salaried free-lancers so the "go upstairs" refrain was all too
frequent. There is an unused tiny dance platform immediately inside the
door. We were offered 'a show' for a 1000 - a bit steep when the ST BF
is a mere 300.
Rumor has it that there is a new owner in the
offing. I, for one, would hope that he has a gimmick, a way to break the
Soi 6 pattern. For one thing he should ban the ladies from wearing
jeans. Perhaps even institute a uniform of sorts that better advertises
the available assets. An agreement with the ladies in residence for a
pay-to-play closed-curtain "show" priced somewhat below 1000, would be
one possible way to integrate the available decor to attract customers.
Unless he finds a way to make Butterfly stand out, it will simply remain
a nondescript ST bars in a city full of nondescript ST bars.
Review from
Pattaya Secrets, April 2006: Top
Notch Coasters
I like the rooms at the Butterfly Bar on Soi 6. The inside bar as
well as the showers are new. Even the coasters for drinks are top notch.
I took one as a souvenir. It has a photo of one of the girls on it.

Review from Dave May 2009:
Definitely worth a visit
I was welcomed by the owner (Alan) who was a great source of info
while I was in Pattaya and a hell of a nice guy as well.
There was 4 or 5 girls there ranging 5's to 8's out of 10 and they were
all very friendly.
Great little bar, good pricing on beer with a large selection of some of
the best Malts (prices on the bottles, so no surprises) and the place
seems to come alive at night.
I stayed there and the rooms were very good (Bt500 per night) and
cleaned daily but if you want something more up market, he also rents
out condo's over towards Jomtien). No problems with taking girls from
other bars back.
All in all, definitely worth a visit.
Review June 2008: Drinker's
Pub
The smallish bar has a lot of character, especially for Soi 6. The
owner is clearly passionate about his drinking and his military. The bar
is decorated accordingly and the bar is also stocked with an enormous
selection of drinks. Perhaps from the Scottish connection, I assumed
that the array of bottles would be mostly whiskeys, but there is
actually a wide selection of all drinks.
Most of the seating is focussed at the bar so perhaps there is not so
much opportunity for canoodling. But there are a fair amount of girls on
offer.
My companion for the evening was very attractive and was very good
company. It also made a change that she was a cider drinker rather than
the more usual Thai Whisky or orange juice
Later on the evening the bar became pretty full, with what I assumed
were regulars, as everyone seemed to know everyone.
I can see myself joining them.
From The Clansman May 2008:
Spirit of Scotland
A Scottish themed bar. We offer over 50 different types of whiskey,
malts and blends, and a huge selection of beers and ciders. Our fully
stocked spirit bar also offers a selection of draught beer.
Inside you will truly feel the spirit of Scotland, and our lassies will
make you feel more than welcome.
Owned and run by an Ex Royal Marine, Alan welcomes all ex and serving
soldiers and sailors alike.

CLick
Bar
Short time bar with expensive lady drinks at 150 Baht
Review Sep 2007: Kitsch
I was strangely drawn into visiting the bar on the back of bad
reviews. Sometimes one needs to get a little perspective.
But as it turns out the 'badness' turned out to be more bad taste
than anything. The decor is surely a little 'retro' or maybe just cheap.
The dodgy looking fixtures and fittings maybe emphasised the latter
option.
But none of this proved much of a problem when beset by a team of
girls intent on getting up close and personable. They weren't really
quite top notch but they ensured that the stay was pleasurable enough.

Full Moon Bar
Pattaya
Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)/ |
Full
Moon Bar
Short time bar. Changed hands and completely refurbished in summer
2010.
From Full Moon Bar, June 2010:
Complete Makeover
Each room has been completely redone, electrics to European standards, the
widest beds in the market, new bedding, linens and towels, large side mirrors
and ceiling for kinky activities, handrail for girls, spacious sofas and chairs
for games out of bed or on the floor, black tiles, quiet and efficient air
conditioner and ceiling fan, and even a card to turn on and turn off the
electricity at the end of session, as in the best hotels.
In the rooms (except orange), there is a spacious bathroom with sink, new shower
and toilet, with hot and cold water and a large mirror for playing a bit if you
feel like it.
On the first floor so we have four new rooms: the black, red, orange and yellow
for your mood. The rooms have dimmers, a black light lamps, and white light in
ceiling for most voyeurs. The decoration is made of sexy photos of girls and,
for relaxation, trees and flowers adorn the rooms finely colored, a touch of
country. The rooms red and black are huge, the other two smaller.
On the second floor from late June 2010 will be four other rooms in the same
spirit, which will be rented on a daily, weekly or monthly rates. And a metal
staircase was installed at the rear of the building against the wall for fire
safety.
The bar has also been completely redecorated and extended. There are large
individual seats, sofas and new air conditioning, electricity, etc. There is
also a special private playroom where the customer can be alone (or with
friends) with one or two or more girls on comfortable sofas to relax completely
in his own way during the time that suits him
So in the Full Moon Bar, everything is now above local standards. From the staff
side, there are 17 girls and a few other freelancers, young and sexy to satisfy
the desires of customers from 10 am to 1 am.
I talk at length about my bar as I'm proud, because it finally became beautiful,
clean, safe, efficient and facilitated by a young but experienced and effective
girls that I trained myself.

Good Fellas' Bar
Pattaya
Soi 6
(Soi Yodsak |
Good Fellas' Bar
Short time bar with mixed girls & lady boys
Review from Malcolm, Jan 2010: No
Lady Boys
Never saw any ladyboys there and one of the girls said there was none
working there.
Review from
Pattaya Pages, June 2006: Good
Probably spent more time in GoodFellas than anywhere else, but the
good looking girls are snapped up early. Well thought out bar,
attractive, good seating, clean. Haven't used their short time room
though.
November 2005:
A couple of the girls out front seem to have developed deep voices
presumably from the large amount of 'welcome handsum man' calls uttered.
Anyway I didn't hang around to investigate further, plenty more bars in
the gauntlet.
I feel a bit sorry for any naturally husky or tall girls in Soi 6.
Given that one has only a split second choice as one passes, the height
and voice is a high priority filter for me. But on the other hand the
lady boy's seem to do well enough for customers so perhaps tall girls
get a lot of interest. I wonder if there are ever any shocks in the
short time room when the customer gets to see that his lady boy is in
fact a girl.
Summer 2005:
I found Goodfella's to be a nice, clean, well laid out bar with some
pretty girls.

Short time bar. One room has a private shower, the other not. Beer 70
Baht, lady drinks 120 Baht.
Review Sept 2007: Well
Looked After
A pretty small bar with the usual girls and sofas. The bar features a
friendly host and mamasang who works hard to ensure that the customers
are well looked after.
There's a ensuite shower in at least one of the upstairs rooms.
From the
Yellow Board, February 2006: Get
Acquainted
There were about 10 girls waiting on a chance to entertain. There are
comfortable sofas inside to help one get acquainted.
At the beach end of the street is the Halifax bar. They always had a
bunch of girls out front and a few always called out to me. I went in
with a kind of chubby girl with a great smile and attitude.
I had a good time and can recommend this bar. (Decent rooms by the way).

The bar is customer friendly with reasonable drinks prices, a

Beer bar with food
Review from Dave, May 2009:
Well Positioned
Good well priced food at this bar and very well positioned for
checking out the talent at other bars as well as getting recon from
the expats and regulars that drink there.
Also a good bar to go to if you want to see any sporting events.
Good place to chill out if you aren't in the mood for a bar girl.
Review from Swanks, August 2006:
Tarred with a New Brush
The lightning struck tower of change has hit the Jack Tar big
time! The place is still inhabited by the same bawdy and good
natured ex-pat crowd with the odd tourist who thinks he has slipped
in unnoticed, but gone are the poisonous grim meanies and especially
the chief viper from the kitchen.
Not only was my visit well worth it for the food, but I got a
beaming smile , very friendly, very welcoming and attentive service
from some quite charming waiting and bar staff. Nothing seemed too
much trouble for them!
I thought I'd gone in the wrong bar by
mistake! Well worth a visit now! Don't forget its not a late night
place though, more for an afternoon of spirited debate , if you take
my drift!
Review from Swanks, April 2006:
Service with a Scowl
This always was a "Beer n Sport" bar and was previously very
welcoming.
Since the ousting of Scrumpy George by the bar girl mafia there,
it really has been the tail wagging the dog! George's management
style might have been a bit "Faulty Towers" ,but he managed to keep
a lid on what started as a bad attitude in the kitchen,and then
spread to the rest of the staff like clap at Loy Krathong. Now it
really has took hold and even the new Thai manager seem to have
mastered the lip curl (as used on social inferiors by Thais) . This
is issued on every possible occasion now and usually is accompanied
by "Knowing looks" between staff members. This attitude problem has
been mentioned to me by several of the former customers without my
saying anything first so it cant be just my imagination.
Beer still cheep and the food is possibly the best, for the
price, in Pattaya. Just don't expect service with a smile.

schedule for the Short Time, 60 minutes no more free time, if you are
lingering like me be ready to pay OT for the bar fine and tip to the
girl.

Review from
Pattaya Addicts, Sep 2007: Sold
Fans of the old style, "anything goes in the bar", may be somewhat
disappointed.
King Kong has a new owner, a German with local wife. Fun in the bar
is now said to be off the menu.
The price of a beer has increased from the standard 60 baht to 75
baht.
News Feb 2007: For Sale
The bar seems to be operating at a low ebb with few girls outside
and reports of the bar being closed some days. There is a prominent
'for sale' sign
Review from
Pattaya Secrets, April 2006: No
Techno Boombox
Sadly, King Kong seems to be on the downside. The last 3 or 4
times I've been in it has been dead. Not many punters and listless
girls. It may be just part of the life cycle of bars.
If you
go, I think after 10:30 would be best as the girls get up to antics
in search of baht as the clock ticks toward closing time.
Music is still a good mix of blues, r&b, bluegrass and alt. country,
no techno boombox shit.
Still worth a visit though to a
Pattaya landmark of sleaze.
November 2005: Eating at
the Bar
It seems to have become something of an eatery with girls sitting
on the bar as the main course.
Slightly too much emphasis on 'going upstairs' to count as
particularly friendly
October 2005: Pattaya
Office
King Kong is my Pattaya office. It is a short time bar with 2
rooms upstairs. The shower is in the hallway. The bar also uses
rooms in the hotel next door and these have showers in the room.
200 Baht for the room and 500 Baht for the girl (1 hour). Girls
also available Long Time for 300 Baht barfine and 1000 Baht for the
girl.
Small interior with impressively low-rent decor and
very good music eg. George Thorogood, R&B, bluegrass, country rock.
NO technocrap or disco shit.
Friendly atmosphere, go after
10pm when it gets lively.

Review May 2009: Good Start
The bar opened with enthusiasm with pretty girls and cheap drinks.
Originally the bar had a glass front so as to show off 2 coyote
dancing girls. The open front rarely works well when privacy for short
time interviews is preferred for most of the regulars to the soi. So,
following rapidly in the footstep of other bars who have tried the open
front approach, the curtains soon appeared.
Review from
Pattaya-Live
April 2009: Cheapish drinks
The girls do look stunning in there uniforms which are different
every day.
The expected high prices and bad attitude was completely wrong though
and the old trick of putting the '10' on full time door duty didn't
happen ether .
1000 BT for ST including room and cheapish drinks will certainly have
my hard earned dosh a new home on a regular basis. The reason I say this
is because the place was worth it! It was spotless, smelled nice and had
been completely renovated upstairs to a very high standard.
Time will tell, but I suspect the new owner knows her stuff and has
seen the way to survival and success in Pattaya.

Review April 2008: Low Key
This must be one of the smallest operations on Soi 6 with usually 1-3
girls on duty.
They seem a little bit confused as to whether the bar is an open beer
bar or a short time bar. There is a short time room but there is not
quite the motivation to use it as most bars in the Soi.

This is apparently in response to recently increased police hassle.
Of course, more private upstairs pleasure is still available.
January 2006:
No Thanks
I Visited the Belgian owned My Friend You Bar. As previously
mentioned, it takes your eyes 20 minutes or so to get used to the total
blackout.
ST room and shower worse than YMCA doss and the rooms
are on the 3rd. floor - oldies need mountaineering gear.
Do not let your wallet out of your sight- take it with you in the
shower. 800 Baht pays for room + lady. Pay the bar 300 Baht first and
500 Baht the lady after.
Mainly middle-aged female choice + 1 ladyboy.
This is a "no
thanks" bar for me.
December 2005: Lucrative
There are 3 bays each with 3 small sofas. The ambient lighting is
unsurprisingly near darkness. There is no time for small talk here. The
girls like to get straight to work on their job.
I think the impatience in getting on with the job is based on the
steady stream of customers. All the sofas were taken on my visit, and at
800 baht a blow, it must be one of the most lucrative bars in Pattaya

April 2004:
A great spot for an afternoon beer. The girls were friendly and there
were lots of them. Some real lookers. The mamasan is named Vi as is a
real charmer although she wants to many drinks. I had a great time there
and found a couple of very charming ladies. It seems to me the drinks
were a little pricy-100B lady drink but other than that I received great
service. The big dude who sits outside and watches the front door is
actually one the owners and if take the time to talk to him you will be
very impressed.

Short time bar. Ownership with Tiger Girl Bar on the same soi.
Review Oct 2008: Wishing for a
Little Better
Small bar perhaps in need of a little refreshment.
The seating is not particularly well laid out for short time
interviews. There is just one large sofa and the rest, stools at the bar
or around small tables.
I chatted with a friendly girl but she was not the slightest bit
hands on.
The drinks were reasonable at 70 Baht for a bottled beer and 100 Baht
for a lady drink.
Seems a straightforward, decent bar but not really well laid out for
the Soi 6 purpose.
Review from
Pattaya-Addicts, Sept 2008: Hassle
Free
Nightwish is a nice little bar in that its welcoming and hassle free.
Girls seem to come and go frequently probably due to the fact that see
more action going on in places like Red Point close by. The cashier is
hot too and open to offers.
For me its better to sit and drink and watch the world go by as its a
lot less in your face than other bars but more fun than Jack Tar over
the road which is girl free.

Review June 2008: Breezers
The bar has some attractive girls outside but I did not really
enjoy the bar much. I offered to buy a lady drink and out came an
expensive Breezer without getting my permission first.
I spoke to two girls and their only line of conversation was to
'go up'. Understandable, but not really very enjoyable.
Perhaps the best bet is to select a girl to go straight upstairs
and to skip the interview drinks.

Review March 2009: Naughty
I stopped for a quick beer and got a little bit distracted by another
customer who was getting down to some very naughty stuff.
Review Sep 2007: Run Down
To put it bluntly, Pat Bar is a little run down. The dilapidated
sofas were held together with a stretch cover that had seen better days.
These perhaps contributed to the less than fresh odour that permeated
the bar.
The bar staff were friendly and no doubt the girls would have proved
equally friendly had we not shooed them away for not quite living up to
our high expectations.
I was dreading a visit to the loos made out of necessity, but there
was no need to worry as they were perfectly acceptable.
I have read a few reports that the girls in the bar can get quite
naughty but somehow I didn't feel inclined to linger to find out.

Hotel Review
Review April 2007: Bar
Watching
I did pop by once before when I thought it would be good to watch the
last England vs Australia test match in an 'a traditional English pub'.
I popped out quick quick when they were showing American tennis! This
leads me to doubt that there is any actual English connection to this
bar.
Anyway I eventually visited again (TVs were off this time).
The bar is pleasantly decorated and features rows of tankards and
glasses suspended from the ceiling.
The tables overlooking the short time bars are popular, presumably
people like to feed one type of hunger whilst considering their options
over the other type of hunger.
The range of farang beers was good but I stuck with draft tiger at 60
Baht (the bottled option was 70 Baht).
Newspapers are available for the short while it takes to knock up the
food. The menu was extensive and the food was good but not exceptional.
They probably take similar high quality boil in the bag/microwave
catering supplies as other fine farang food restaurants in Pattaya.
Not many customers were lingering after eating though, there are
better things to do in Soi 6
From Queen Victoria Inn
A traditional English pub in the heart of Soi 6 where you can have a
drink or traditional English cooking with no hassle. Live sport on large

go up now. But saying that other customers seemed to be getting
better value for money.
Review from

65 Baht for Leo to 80 Baht for Singa Light, spirits 65 - 120 Baht.
Rent of short time room is 300 Baht. (no bar fine)
Bar fine is 1000 Baht between 1300-2000
Bar fine is 500 Baht between 2000-0100
Review November 2008: Bicardi
Breezer Trick
I popped by a couple of times and went inside, again to a hot lounge.
But the aircon was then turned on and it cooled down.
I bought a few drinks and everything was cool.
On the subsequent visit the girl opted for an expensive Bicardi
Breezer without asking first. Always pisses me off so the bar is now on
my bars to avoid list.
Review September 2008: A Hot
Quicky
The bar is a little different from its immediate neighbours in that
it features a prominent outside bar counter.
There is a back canoodling room but its existence isn't prominently
signposted. It has rather a small neon sign to the lounge.
Inside there are a couple of poles, some sofa seating and a water
feature. Even though one of the girls was well worthy of an interview,
there was no way I could stay in the backroom due to a lack of aircon. I
don't know if this was temporary or permanent, but it was impossibly
hot.
The beer prices were reasonable.
The beer is already up for sale. Presumably due to it being done by a
property developer rather than an indictment on the first few days of
trading.

Red
Light Bar
Short time bar.
Review July 2008: Well Hot
The first thing to strike is that the narrow bar has a single bench
seat running down the left hand side of the bar. The bar itself runs
down the right hand side and it almost seems that the two halves of the
bar are watching each other.
Not really a good layout for a short time bar where sofas offer a
little better feeling of privacy and intimacy.
Perhaps this bar is a bit more of a drinking bar than the Soi 6 norm.
However a short visit was as much as I could take, as my selected girl
was overly demure and the aircon was overly ineffective.
Seemed a perfectly good bar otherwise with beer at 75 Baht and lady
drinks at 100 Baht. The Room fee (no barfine required is 300 Baht)
I was also entertained by the work of a plastic surgeon, clearly
inspired by the surreal exaggeration of Picasso when creating his breast
art.
Review:
I have been on a holiday to this super place. I had so much fun there
with the Dutch owner Martijn. He is a party animal by birthright.
When you enter the place you will be amazed by the interior and
friendly girl there. REALLY friendly if you mean my drift. It really
looks great and regular party's are held to entertain everyone with
anything.
Next years holiday I know where friends can come to to
meat me because I will be there as long as my budget will allow to. With
these prices you can stay for quite a while.

Review from
Pattaya Secrets, July 2006: Humming
I've only been here once. I had read on some forum that it had the
prettiest girls, and I think that proved to be true. I went upstairs,
and it was indeed shabby. No shower in the room, either, which I guess
is standard for soi 6 but I really don't want do deal with that anymore.
And maybe I am the only one who cares about such things, but these
short-time rooms gross me out. They do not change the bedding in these
places all day (if not all week), even though dozens of women get
pounded into the mattress every day. The best you can hope for is a new
large towel on top of the bed. No thanks.
I do not like the
places where you get the hummer while sitting at the bar -- not
comfortable enough for me. I like the couch hummer, where I can really
stretch back and enjoy myself. Any suggestions for other bars with
excellent couch hummers? That did not seem to be an option at Red Point
during my only visit. I did see a partially hidden alcove on the far
back right of the bar that might have some promise.
Review from
Pattaya Pages, June 2006: Hold Out
for the Best
I have always liked the Red Point the best. On the north side of Soi
6, 50 yards or so from Beach Road. Big red dot on the sign.
The
mamasan trains her girls well. They don't bother you for drinks. Usually
very good BBBJ, rim, etc. A few 3-holers. Rooms upstairs are decent.
When you walk up there are usually girls sitting out front on the
street. If you do not see one you like just go inside and sit down on
one of the sofas. If you do not like the first girls who sits with you,
just hold out. Mamasan will eventually throw one of her best looking
ones at you.

source on what is happening in pattaya.
Review by Materialsman, Oct 2008:
Little Red Hats
Before ‘stumps up’ decided that one more beer wouldn’t go amiss, so
we stumbled off to the Saigon Girl bar in Soi 6. I have a hazy
recollection of being in this bar last Thursday, and remember being
captivated by the red uniforms and little red hats all the girls
were wearing, and so it was!
The bar has a sort of confused Saigon theme, posters of The Deer
Hunter, and a mural of the poster of the sunset from Apocalypse Now
on one wall, as well as many posters of various big hairy
motorcycles, perhaps the owner is some sort of grizzled Harley
Davidson riding Vietnam Vet?
The girls are not the prettiest in the Soi, but they make up for
that with their rare enthusiasm for their work, and the uniform
works for me, you probably think I am some kind of uniform obsessed
pervert right? Probably 100% spot on! So, two drinks later, and a
couple of lady drinks nestled in the bins, it was time for me to
mosey on home, but as I stand up and take one last look around
before diving through the curtain, I see my drinking buddy on a sofa
with two cuddly girls, one either side of him, massaging his
privates for all they are worth, dressed in those pretty red
uniforms, and still wearing the hats, a lovely memory, a Kodak
moment indeed, ain’t life in Pattaya grand!
Review Oct 2007:
Apocalypse Now
The opening night was well attended with plenty of food laid on to
keep an army of bikers well fed.
In anticipation of a good turnout the owners had closed down their
Route 69 bar for the evening and reposted the girls for duties in Saigon
Girl.
The war theme of the bar is surely unique in Pattaya. The walls are
decorated by pictures of the Vietnam War. Partitions around the bar are
made from "Explosives" canisters. There's even a NAAFI seemingly located
in the loos. The girls were wearing military styled skirts and blouses
but somewhat skimpier than female troopers may wear. The peace badge
seemed slightly out of place though. A couple of jeeps were parked
outside the bar for extra effect.
Presumably Rest & Recreation is the purpose of the bar but the bar
layout seems a bit of a disaster for this purpose.
There are comfortable seats but these arranged facing the bar almost
like as if to provide a show for the people sitting at the bar. There's
not a shred of privacy and when a girl was taking good personal care of
me, I somehow saw the entire bar as an auditorium with me and my girl
being the performers.
There are a couple of dance poles on podiums but the bar isn't going
into the gogo business.

Smoke

Short time bar opened August 2009
Review August 2009: No Kisses and
No Smoke
Another bar from the team that designed the newly opened Smoke &
Mirrors.
Again the theme is an outside sitting area with bar and an inside
aircon area also with a bar.
This bar is a little narrower than Mirrors and this reflects in a
bench seat down one side. This time the inside bar is an extension of
the outside bar and this saves a fair bit of space. There is a little
more seating at the back of the bar and a dancing pole at the front. It
is attractive and stylish but the open layout doesn't offer much in the
way of privacy for short time interviews.
The drinks prices were very reasonable at 80 Baht for a my beer and
80 Baht for a lady beer.
I would have stayed longer but my lady did a pre-arranged runner and
there were few appealing replacements.

Smoke & Mirrors Bar
Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) |
Smoke &
Mirrors Bar
Short time bar opened 8th June 2009. Became Horny Bar towards the end
of 2009, see above
Review June 2009: Reflections on
a New Bar
The bar has connections with Quicky Bar, another recent bar on Soi 6.
It shares the idea of having an open drinking section out front for
those that like to watch Soi 6 go by. And an aircon inside are for those
who prefer a bit more privacy for their choice of entertainment. No
doubt the design will come into its own should ever the smoking ban get
enforced.
The drinks counter is actually in the outside section but there is
also an unused bar in the inside room. The inside room features the
expected comfortable seating and plenty of large mirrors on the wall. I
am told that large wall mirrors feature in the short time rooms too.
The drinks prices were reasonable and the bar seems well run.
The bin appeared with the drinks which is something that is happening
less and less on Soi 6. Not having the bin available for inspection is
an incredibly tempting opportunity for bill padding. So it is something
I particularly look out for these days.
I am a bit doubtful about the name though, in my dictionary Smoke &
Mirrors means: "something that is intended
to draw attention away from something else that somebody would prefer
remain unnoticed". I was a bit worried that my girl may therefore
turn out to be a boy...but that surely wasn't the case.

Short time bar opened 9th May 2009
Review May 2009: Typical
To be fair I normally would have walked on by due to the girls on
show, but being inquisitive I said hello to a girl and walked in.
It turns out to be a perfectly typical Soi 6 bar with sofas set out
cross ways down the bar. It is perhaps smaller than most because they
have made a bit of space out front for those that would like to have a
cigarette outside.
Unfortunately my drinking partner was a hardened Soi 6 lady who simply
was not interested in pleasantries nor an enticing interview. So things
didn't pan out.
A bottle of beer is set at around the 75 Baht mark.
A bit of a naff visit, but there was nothing to suggest things wouldn't
be better on another day with a different girl.

Soi 6 Corner Bar
Now an open bar, previously a short time bar. Doesn't have short time
rooms. Has a room arrangement with nearby bar but this will cost room
charge + barfine.
Review from
Pattaya Addicts, May 2009: Place to
Meet
Great place to meet and service girls while being ugly are great fun
Review from
Pattaya Secrets, July 2007: Great
Sofas
Chris, the owner, is a nice bloke & told me few things about what to
expect in town & his sofas are a great place to chill & friendly staff,
too.
It does get very very warm but the cute little hostesses were more
than obliging with the cold flannels.
December 2005:
Has removed a couple of walls to convert from an inside bar into an
open beer bar. I don't know if they will concentrate on short times or
become a more traditional bar with the emphasis on drinks and the
occasional takeaway.
November 2005:
Clean, pleasant bar with friendly girls and not expensive. The short
time room is presentable. I do not know if she is still there, but two
of the biggest knockers on one lassie that I have ever seen in Thailand.
Standard Soi 6 prices.

Review from James, March 2011: Knowing
How to party
I tried several short time bars in Soi 6. Butterfly and
neighbour Superstar, were great fun.
There were a few Cuties ladies in both bars. I preferred Butterfly,
less girls but they're friendly and know how to party and be fun too.
Good sex too of course. I had fun with Som and Leedear,
great bodies! In Superstar, Bee is also really cute. I paid
300+1000 for ST, but figure out after that it could work for 1000 all
inclusive...I did not care really as ladies were great. Bar fine was 700
at first, then become 500 later...
Review by Stephan, Oct 2009: Fair
Prices
I never had a problem with the bin at this bar. But it's true they
not always put it on the table. As I'm a regular customer I don't
care. My girl takes care I always receive a correct tab. Have also
to mention that prices in this bar are fair.
They allow smoking in the bar (the owner himself does), which can
be quite annoying for non-smokers.
Review, Nov 2008: Bin Keeping
The bar is still operating without providing bin chits. Even on
asking they had to be written out, just kept by memory before. Not a
place to get drunk and lose track of the tab.
Can't comment of the rest, my girl was shagged out and just wanted
to sleep.
Review, October 2006:
Check the Bin
A bit of a warning sign when your bin is kept at the bar instead of
being sent to your table. And sure enough on checking...a mythical drink
had been added.
The girls launch straight into premium price ladydrinks without
asking permission too.
Pretty ladies though, so one can get easily distracted...
Review, June 2006: Discrete
Sign
Unassuming bar that I hadn't spotted before. As one speeds past it
seems to be part of the Butterfly Bar but there is a separate sign if
you look.
The girls were a mixed bunch with some looking attractive in their
white blouses and tartan skirts.
The bar is pretty standard inside with drinks, sofas and music videos
on TV. Well distracted by an old friend so didn't spend much time
examining the decor. There was a fair amount of toing and froing in the
bar but not actually much coming and going.
There were a couple of tense moments in the bar as one of the girls
seemed a little argumentative after a few too many drinks.

Review Oct 2007: Bins on the Bar
The bar operates the policy of keeping the bins on the bar rather
than in front of the customer. It always seems that the bar has
something to hide when they do this, and in this case they were hiding
the fact that lady drinks cost a very expensive 125 Baht. (Bottled beer
was 65)
Review from
Pattaya Secrets, Aug 2007: Not Nice
Bar is small and the short time rooms are not that nice. 300 Baht for
the room and 700 Baht for the girl.

Review September 2009: Decor
The black decor featuring cut out moon and stars rather suggest this
bar hasn't been decorated for years. The sofas were better than some
though.
The drinks prices were OK at 120 Baht for a lady beer and 80 Baht for
a bottled beer. The bin was brought to the table which seems to be
getting rarer these days.
My drinking partner proved to be good company which made for an
enjoyable stay.
There were a couple of rather over the top lady boys on the books.
I don't usually think a grim decor is much of a problem in a bar, but
for a bar where going up is the name of the game, then it would be good
to try and convince customers that it won't be too grim upstairs with a
nice decor downstairs.
Review from
TeakDoor, Jan 2007: Sleazy
This is my kind of place, low end dirty and sleazy, But most
importantly they do have some nice girls for rent.
This place is completely lacking in class and taste, but people don't go
to Soi Yodsak for that sort of stuff anyway.
Moving onto the bedrooms, they only have one that has air con, the
others are all fan rooms, and of course you have the joy of the shared
bathroom

Whiskey Whisky Bar

Whiskey
Whisky Bar
Whiskey bar with aircon. No short time rooms. 300/500 ST/LT barfines
From Whiskey Whisky, April 2008:
No-Hassle Drinking Bar
The wife (Saree) and I run a no-hassle drinking bar. No ST rooms.
Bar fine outs only.
We presently stock around 60+ Whiskies, couple dozen Vodkas, a dozen
Gins, dozen and half Tequilas, dozen or so Rums.......as well as
beer, coolers and the usual Baileys, Kahlua etc etc.
Punters are welcome to select their own music from around 12,000
tracks on the PC.
There are girls but hands on fun is not encouraged in the bar and
the girls set their own prices which are not bound by the Soi 6
norm.
Review from
Thai Visa, August 2006: Wide Variety
Great Aircon spot in the middle of the gauntlet. It specialises in
a wide variety of whiskeys. The owner is fabulous - she really makes
an effort to go out of her way to make you feel at home.

Notes |
Pattaya bars most likely to be listed are those
that occupy a permanent looking standalone building. Beer bars in
complexes will not be listed unless mentioned in dispatches.
Gay/Thai/Karaoke bars are not listed due to a lack of expertise in those
areas. Gogo bars are listed on a separate page. I have added food
reviews but this is not a comprehensive service. I will only list
eateries where people have submitted comments
The following reviews are those that I come across on
the web, in guide books, from contributors and of course from my own
visits. Reviewers may be unreasonably harsh and bar owners may present a
rosy picture of their bars...so don't take everything at face value...go
and see for yourself. Click on the street name to obtain a map of the
bar area.
And a couple of words of warning:
-
In short time rooms...keep an eye on your wallet
to ensure that it stays with you long time.
-
To those with Thai wives, be aware of the motor
cycle taxi network used to keep tabs on errant husbands.
If anyone would like to add a review or information
please email Dave at
