3 Angels Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

www.3angelssoi6.com

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.

Pattaya So6 (Soi Yodsak)

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

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!

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

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.

  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

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar with expensive lady drinks at 150 Baht

  Note from Malcolm, January 2012: Still Blowing

The Click Bar on Soi 6 is still giving blow jobs at the rear of the bar. 800B for BJ and 80B for orange juice.

  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.

I went to Foxy"s Bar and it was very good. Nice ladies and good service.

  News April 2007: Stray Bullet

The bar made the news when one of the bar girls got struck by a bullet. Luckily not much damage was done. It still seems to be a mystery as to who was doing the shooting and why.

  March 2005: Crappy Rooms

Foxy's has crappy rooms, a communal shower and ill fitting doors

Full Moon Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)/

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

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.

Halifax Bar 1

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

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).

Halifax Bar 2

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar opened in May 2008. Unsurprisingly, the same owner as Halifax Bar 1.  Beer 70 Baht, lady drinks 120 Baht. Rooms are modern with showers.

  Review May 2008: Traditional

Traditional soi 6 single unit layout with 2 person sofas. The bar is a little roomier than the sister bar.

The bar is customer friendly with reasonable drinks prices, a friendly owner and non-pushy girls. Should do well.

A new open bar appeared in Soi 6 in February 2012. Ominously located next to Hi Boss.

Jack Tar Beer bar

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

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.

King Kong Beer Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Previously noted for blow jobs at the bar but these seem to have been forced into short time rooms

  Comment September 2010: Low Key

The bar seems to be pretty low key these days with little signs of the traditional naughtiness and not many girls. Bottled beer 85 Baht.

  News from Pattaya Secrets, Oct 2007: Short Short Time

Please be advised that the new owner (Dutch) is enforcing the 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.

The Mamasan, girls were notified at the last staff meeting.

  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.

Kiss Kool Bar

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

  News April 2011: Not So Much Kissing

Kiss Kool has reopened with all the smart sofa seating stripped out to be replaced by stools. And for the moment, no sign of any girls.

La La Land Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (Beach Road end)

Short time bar

  April 2008: Roomy

The bar has had something of a makeover. It is a little roomier than before and looks good with its traditional red theme.

  January 2006: Clean and Fun Rooms

For clean and fun rooms I like La La and Mandarin. Both are clean, right upstairs and have mirrors. La La actually has more mirrors though.

  Summer 2005: Sexy Uniform

English owned bar with a dozen girls each sporting the sexy uniform shown left. Surely a friendly place. I am not sure that the Natural Planet channel selected for the bar TV is very appropriate but that is hardly the reason for choosing to drink there.

Short time is 500 Baht for girl and 300 Baht for the room. The shower is in a separate bathroom though.

Lick Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar, seems t have a confusing sign and is actually named Click Bar, see above

Lion King

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (Beach Road end)

Bar and guesthouse. Started on the short time bar trade in June 2007. Closed September 2009. Now Willy's Hangout.

Short time bar opened 2nd April 2009. Small room and shower down the corridor.  one room is curtained off. Not a bar for drinking though, Jack coke is 160 Baht.

  Notes from Pattaya-Addicts August 2009: Going Well

700 for the girl 300 for the room.

  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.

Short time bar associated with Lisa Bar on the other side of the soi.

  News from Paul, June 2008: Re-Fronted

Mandarin Beer Bar on Soi 6 has given up on being an open bar and is re-installing the front wall.

  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.

In recent weeks the bar went from being closed to open and is no effectively closed again as the front wall has been replaced by a heavy curtain.

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

New Blue Hawaii

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

From 2pm

Short time bar. Not to be confused with the ladyboy laden bar opposite.

  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.

Nightwish Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

www.nightwish-bar.com

Short time bar. Ownership with Spider Girl Bar on the same soi.

  News from Nightwish Bar, March 2012: Renovated

Anyone who visited the Nightwish in 2011 or before will not recognise it from the run down bar of old"

• All new outdoor bar area with seating to watch enjoy a beer, and watch the sights of Soi 6.
• All new indoor bar, air-conditioned with new seating.
• Very Nice and clean downstairs toilet. (they are not all this nice on soi 6)
• Flat screen TV's with True Vision to watch Football, F1 in both bars.
• New sound system, but not too loud so you can at least talk to the ladies.
• Fully stocked beer fridge and a good selection of spirits.
• 4 good sized bedrooms to visit for an hour or so (you know what I mean).
• ALL 4 have private toilets and showers, air-conditioning, clean sheets and towels, mirrors etc.

Nearly all the staff are ex. Rubys 1 and 2 , so they know how to take care of customers upstairs and downstairs.

  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.

Short time bar didn't re-open from police closure in May 2007. Now a massage shop.

O Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

obarpattaya.com

Short time bar. Rooms have no showers and have been noted as the worst in the soi.

  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 from John, Feb 2008: Cool Beer

O Bar is now owned by an American. Repainted and clean. They have between 12 and 15 good girls every day.

It also has a sound system with 120,000 songs. Cool beer, good mixed drinks and good bartender.

Short time bar with rooms but no shower

  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.

English themed pub with no hostesses. See also 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 screen TV on Saturday and Sunday.

Note that this is not a short time bar as per the majority of those in Soi 6

A pint of Guinness is 160 Baht

Quicky Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

www.quicky-bar.com

Short time bar opened in September 2008. Showers down the hallway.

  Notes August 2009: Poor Value

Lady Drinks are now 150 Baht. Poor value indeed if you get one of the girls who's only contribution to social intercourse is an immediate go up now. But saying that other customers seemed to be getting better value for money.

  Review from Pattaya-Addicts, July 2009: Prices

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 Door

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar new in October 2009. Previously the Derbyshire Bar. Closed in January 2010. Now set to become Ruby 2.

  News January 2010: Re-development

The bar is currently undergoing extensive redevelopment.

Red Light Bar

Pattaya Soi 6  (Yodsak)

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.

Be there or be square

Red Point Bar

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

  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.

  Review from Pattaya Chat, Dec 2006:

Short time rooms at Route 69 are horrible. Just a mattress on the floor with separate showers

Prices are now 300 Baht for the room and 700 for the girl paid upfront.

  Review from Tim, Oct 2006: The Price is Right

Had a few girls at the front door that interested me.. went in.. a bit dark as are ALL the bars.. a nice girl followed.. however not to my taste.. I asked for another girl.. again not to my taste.. NOW these girls were attractive and friendly.. but I have my own taste in women.. finally got a nice girl..

ALL of the girls NEVER ask me to buy them a drink.. after a few minutes.. went upstairs for a roll in the hay as they say.. price was right.. 300 + 500.. no hassle.. rooms are bit on the old side and shower is as well.. but I was there for an afternoon of fun.. not to live there.. In fact returned there a few times for other girls.. all were friendly, no hassle and good in bed

  Review by Ken, Oct 2008: Great Hosts

Saigon Girl is owned by Terry and Nung previously of T.G. bar. He and his wife are great hosts and make all patrons welcome. He is also a keen biker who will always talk about his passion. I have known Terry for several years and he is a constant information 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.

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar opened August 2009. Good rooms with private showers.

  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.

  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.

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)

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

  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

Open short time bar which changed hands and renamed in March 2011. Previous Bret Bar and before that Christina May. Cheap drinks with bottled beer at 50 Baht. Rooms unappealing and teh shower is down a hallway.

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 webmaster@pattayagogos.com
