Listing the bars of Pattaya

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.

9 Ball Bar

Off Soi Khao Talo

 9 Ball Bar

Bar featuring pool and a cheap happy hour with 39 Baht beers

123 Bamboo Bar

Sukhumvit: Soi Khao Noi

 123 Bamboo Bar

  Comments by FG, Sep 2007: Create Your Own Fun

Parking – Open-air Bar – Garden-tables - all is well looked after and making a comfortable stay with accommodating service (girls). A/C rooms and shower across corridor are all excellent and spacey – marble flooring.

European owned, managed by Thai consort. Definitively positive in every aspect – pricing appropriate. Excellent and discretely piped in music from the sixties to the nineties. Fun, entertaining from midi to mid-night. This is the place where you create your own fun and luck!

Soi Neun Pleub Wan

 Aqua Deymie

Another bar from the people that brought you the noted Dao Bar. Complete with swimming pool. The pool is overlooked so maybe not for the naughty stuff.

  Review from Billy Baht, January 2013: Good and Bad

Very nice bar, well appointed, clean and air conditioned.

My visit was around 8 pm and I was promptly waited on and received a cold San Mig Lite at a very reasonable 59 baht.

I ordered another beer and the girl asked me for a lady drink. I politely declined and she sapped Pai leury keeneoaw! Get out cheap charlie! I pretended not to notice and ignored her. Another girl came over I bought her a lady drink and was tempted to take her short time, but truth be told, the comments from the little bitch put me off, so I check binned and left.

Pity management has spent so much to equip a very nicely laid out bar but then allow some girls to abuse customers.

  News June 2012: Late Happy Hour

The bar has bottled beer at 39 Baht and lady drinks at 69 Baht from 8pm until close. However the lady drink offer is limited to sniff of beer. A more substantial lady drink is 120 Baht. Barfines are 500 Baht LT, 300 Baht ST.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, August 2010: Nice lookers

Good decor and good pizza. and the 15 girls are the best looking on the dark side.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, March 2010: Nice lookers

Plenty of girls some real nice lookers. The place is done out very well.

Beer and Coffee Bar

Soi Khao Noi

 Beer and Coffee Bar

New for 2010. The bar didn't impress an early customer who got a stream of abuse after pointing out a small overcharge. But otherwise clean and offer very cheap drinks, no girls though.

BFT

Soi Kaotalo

 BFT

New owners in Autumn 2012. Previously Pioneer and Camel bars

The Bird Cage

Soi Khao Talo
(lower end of Soi Khao Talo across from Soi 18)

 The Bird Cage

Beer bar

  Review from jj, May 2011: 

Bird Cage thankfully did not follow the lead of the movie of the same name. All 7 of the staff seemed to be the real thing although one was questionable.

Newly open in April 2011, not much happening as yet. Has seating for only about 10 punters at bar and two tables. Pool table takes up most of the floor space. Should consider putting a sofa against the back wall.

Ladies were friendly (LD 80 baht) if a bit over the hill. Of course, often with age comes experience but hopefully not boredom. The two gals playing pool were totally inept so it seems that a punter could make a few points if he knows his way around a table.

Discreet location could be a plus as soon as they find their niche. Off road parking in rear. ST room(s) upstairs.

Birdy Bar

Soi Sian Country Club

 Birdy Bar

 

Black Bush Bar

Sukhumvit: Soi Nern Plab Wern (eastwards from junction near opposite Pattaya Klang)

 Black Bush Bar

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, May 2006: Cheap Booze

On left hand side opposite Family Mart. Small "local" bar, cheapest booze around. A place to wind down with a couple to start an evening. Not the place if you are horny...

Black Hole

Soi Pattanakan
(Connecting Soi Nernplabwan and Soi Kao Talo about 3.5lm from Sukhumvit).

 Black Hole

Took over from Titty Twister in 2012. Not really a girls bar but does have a couple of waitresses.

Black Pearl Bar

Siam Country Club Road

 Black Pearl Bar

Short time bar. Became Titties and Beer but closed in 2012. Now the White Oyster

  Update August 2011: Back Home

The Black Pearl has now returned to original home that was previously home to Brasillia Bar.

Sangsom Coke 50 Baht, LDs 90 Baht, BF 300 Baht.

Around 8 girls, all were were nice enough.

  Comment from Pattaya Talk, August 2009: Swimming Tip

Reports of a 1000 Baht charge just for the girls to swim with customers

  Review from Pattaya-Live, Sept 2008: Great Improvement

Great improvement on the girly side. about 10-12 of them, some cuties. Tits out is default.

Jacuzzi is now surrounded by a bamboo type "wall" so fun can be had in a more discreet manner.

Decent music. Short time rooms are available.

Review from Pattaya Secrets, Aug 2008: Feeding

4pm,6 girls,2 katoeys it was feeding time so no-one was in the least bit interested. Waste of effort finding the place

Black Pearl 2 Bar

Siam Country Club Road

 Black Pearl 2 Bar

Short time bar now defunct

black sheep


The Black Sheep

Soi Khao Noi
(eastern end)

 The Black Sheep

New Zealand owned bar. New for 2009. Changed hands in mid 2012.

Free pool table and bottled beers around the 50-60 mark. Plenty of girls most days and can be fun in the bar

  Review from jj, April 2013: The Exception to the Rule

Just before Songkran, the Darkside seemed to be suffering a slowdown with many ladies returning home for the festival.

The exception was BLACK SHEEP on Soi Khao Noi. There seemed to be a full complement of ladies and they were working hard to please the steady stream of customers.

Word must be passing about that this is the place to be in these pre-Songkran days. A tip of the hat to the ladies there.

  News from inpattayanow.com March 2013: Back to Business

Some while ago a sale had been agreed but it dropped through with courts getting involved. The upshot is that Black Sheep is now back in the possession of the original Kiwi owner, Paul.

The bar has been completely refurbished and an entirely new staff has been employed. Business has apparently been brisk since then.

  News from John, July 2012: Not Happy

The bar has just changed hands, everything was great till I got the check bin and they had overcharged me. I pointed this out in a good way. It took three attempts to get it corrected and I didn't even hear an apology.

I have been there many times in the past and 4 times this month I left the usual 20 baht tip, not happy, I sat with two ladies who I bought two drinks each. I gave them 100 baht tip to share and they weren't happy either. I will go somewhere else.

  News June 2012: Closed due to a legal dispute

The girls have moved to Kik bar

Blue Cat Bar

Soi Khao Talo

Free buffet on Tuesdays

 Butterfly Bar

Short time bar

  Notes May 2013: Fading

There seem few admirers in a recent forum discussion. Lack of attractive ladies. Still an occasional nice lady though.

  Review from Pattaya-Live, Sept 2008: Best on the Dark Side

At current state of affairs, the best bar on the Dark Side(Girly wise), by some distance too. Long and very dark bar (all indoors i.e. aircon). No special effects, as the place is predominantly short time haven.

24 girls currently on the books with some real cuties.

Decent enough music and great fun to be had.

  Review from OutForABeer, May 2007: Doesn't Care

Butterfly always seems to change. Some days the staff seems happy, other days not. I have been the only customer in the bar and barely got a hello.

Decent music and aircon. Clean rooms available.

The bar needs to advertise a bit, you get the feeling the owner doesn't care whether or not he is breaking any records for business

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, June 2006: Bamboo Telegraph

Nothing like it use to be. The recent closing of Siam golf club for renovations has hurt it...but worse is what happened about 3-years ago:

A number of golfers (locals) would stop at the Butterfly for drinks and a short time after playing a round. Then, they went home to their Thai wives. One of the wives found out about the Butterfly, via the 'bamboo telegraph' and contacted some of the other wives. They met and decided that the next time the husbands went golfing at Siam, they would go to the Butterfly and wait for them to arrive after their game. In short, the golfers arrived...and...well the shit hit the fan. Word spread and few golfers in relationships would venture to the Butterfly!

  News from David, March 2006: In the Rough

Siam Country Club Golf Course is now closed and some lasses have left the Butterfly Bar due to lack of business.

The free food afternoon has been changed from Mondays to Tuesdays.

  February 2006:

It seems that the Siam Country Golf club is having a little difficulty recruiting sufficient members and is considering a year off. This is proving a worrying though for the short time bars on the route from Pattaya. The Butterfly Bar in particular takes advantage of those 'just going for a round of golf dear'.

 Chill Bar

Beer bar

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Sep 2007: Aussie Run

Friendly Aussie run place. A couple of seating pagodas in the front garden, plus seating by the front bar with sensible seat sizes.

There is an outside bar area and an inside aircon area with a brand new Pool/snooker table.

Drinks reasonable at 60 Baht for San Mig Lite for example. Chang 45 Baht , GinTonic 80 Baht , lady drink 90 Baht .

churchills

Churchill's Club

Soi Siam Country Club
(at the junction to the crocodile farm go 150m in the other direction)

 Churchill's Club

Short time bar

  Review from Jack June 2010: No Smoking at Churchill's Club!

The bar is called The Churchill's Club. It is owned by the same group as The Venus Lounge, Amsterdamaged and a few more I forget the names. It has been open for about a year now.

This Bar is very nicely decorated and is very comfortable, in fact it is like sitting in your own lounge. The building looks like a private house, no problem just walk up to the door and go in.

I have been there quite a few times over the last year and have always had a good time. The drink prices were last time I was there, Soft Drinks 50bt, Bottled Beer 80bt. Short Time 350bt and Long Time 500bt for Bar Fine.

The number of girls varies from 3 to about 6 and they know how to take care of customers.

They do not allow smoking inside but have an area outside where you can smoke.

Churchill's is located just off Soi Siam Country Club. At the crossroads to the crocodile farm, Churchill's is 150m in the opposite direction to the crocodile farm.

Sukhumvit: Soi Khao Noi (400m east of Sukhumvit)

  April 2007: Discretion

Dao Bar/Cafe

Suhkumvit: Soi Khao Noi (Soi Boonsampan) (2+ km east from Suhkumvit)

1pm-midnight

 Dao Bar/Cafe

Short time bar

  Review from Nightmarch at pattaya-times.com, June 2010: Reasonably priced

On my most recent exploratory excursion there were about 10 ladies of varying ages, looks and demeanour ready to help customers relieve themselves of any pent-up emotion. Drinks are reasonably priced and vary between 50 baht for soft drinks and only 70 baht for lady drinks.

  Review from Pattaya-Live, Sept 2008: Back on Track

After 5 months in the doldrums when smoking was banned - the place is back on track. Not yet back to the hay days of mid 07, but its definitely coming around.

A couple of new birds, a few of the good old ones and Mon the eternal cashier - all know how to have good times. Girls are usually at least half pissed, and happy to serve. Decent fodder from the restaurant (Pizzas recommended) . Music is PROPER SHYTE though. Same old songs, repeated endlessly. ST rooms available.

  Review from Pattaya Addicts, Aug 2007: Great Joint

For me The Dao bar on the darkside is a great joint at the moment, 15-20 girls, opens about 1pm till midnight, ST rooms available and Heineken only 60 baht a bottle, this bar is a bit similar to the inside of the Jade House is probably best way to explain it for those of you who haven't been there.

  Review from Andrew, Dec 2006: Cafe Rates

Last visited this month (December). The ST barfine IS still 250 but its a room hire rather than a BF as the girl will remain in the bar after the deed.

The previous poster was either diddled (with lol) or paid the LT rate but I can't confirm what that is.

7 or 8 girls in attendance all nice looking with at least 2 being exceptional.

  Review from David, July 2006: Barfine Policy Not Fine

The bar fine is 400 Baht not 250 Baht. If you meet up with your girl when the bar is closed for 24 hours the aggressive cashier will still charge you 400 Baht as "she was not in her room". I don't know if this is common practice but it has put me permanently off the place.

Getting to the bar up the atrociously maintained Soi 5 will also quickly wreck your vehicle.

Euro food only available from 6pm onwards . Pizzas are good and all grub can be taken away. Prices for solids and liquids are reasonable.

Darkness Beer Bar

Sukhumvit: Soi Khao Noi (400m east of Sukhumvit)

 Darkness Beer Bar

Opened in December 2011. Previously Noi's Beer Bar.

At opening Sangsom Coke was 50 Baht, Lady drinks 90 Baht and barfine 300. Half a dozen girls on hand. But reports suggest that the girls don't seem very friendly.

Further down on soi Siam Country club from the Black Pearl, by the lake. owned and run by Toby. Very nice setting (bar + garden tables). 5-7 decent girlies. More than decent nosh, especially the curries. Toby is upgrading the place and bringing in a certified Farang Chef.

 Flintstone

Aircon bar reported closed in early 2011

  Review from Pattaya-Live, Sept 2008: New and Spacious

Nicely decked new and spacious bar. New pool table. 8-10 girls with a couple of nice ones.

I guess the place needs some time to pick up some regulars, but it has a chance. Owner must be very hot blooded as the Aircons are all industrial size, and the place is freezing.

Great selection of computerized music. Short time rooms available.

Wicket 1: half the staff are katoeys.

Wicket 2: the other half are less than friendly. .

Wicket 3: Drinks are over priced

 KiK

Opened in June 2010

  Review from jj, April 2013: Lounge bar

The review below was apparently written 2-3 owners and 3-4 managers ago.

Today KIK is a shadow of its coyote days.

It's now a typical Darkside bar where the ladies lounge around until the customers come then continue to lounge around unless pressured to get off the couch.

Compared to many Darkside bars it is fairly large and well appointed with a number of comfortable and discrete couches; largely unused.

You know things are NOT going well when the lady doesn't even drink her LD; just lets the ice melt.

Seems that if you are not a chum of the Brit manager, you ain't.......

When the next owner takes over, he needs somehow to tap the potential that is not there now.

  News April 2012: Re-opened

The bar has re-opened with an emphasis on coyote dancing. There is a Wednesday party night when coyotes from Papagayo perform. BF 300 for ST incl. room, LT 500, 300 later in the evening. Lady drinks 100 Baht. Thai spirits 60 Baht.

  Note May 2011: Prices

69 Baht for a small bottled Chang. Girl quoted an unnegotiable 1500 Baht short time (+ 300 Baht for room).

  Review from Jack, June 2010: Good fun

A new bar has just opened over on the Darkside called KiK. It has been open for about a week now and is having a grand opening party on 19th June.

The new bar is owned by the same group as Dao Bar/Cafe and Papagayo.

On the couple of times that I have been there this week there were about 15 girls most of which were easy on the eye. The bar has been fitted out quite nicely and is comfortable and has good Air Con.

The drink prices are a little higher than most bars on the DarkSide, Soft Drinks 60bt, Bottled Beer 90bt Sprit with mixer 90bt and Lady Drinks 100bt. Short Time 300bt, Long Time 500bt

I have not seen the ST Rooms but the owner said they are finished to a high standard.

I have spent a couple of enjoyable evenings there with good fun being had.

  From Pattaya Secrets, June 2010: Lucky

There were only 4 girls working, but I was lucky that the one who greeted me at the entrance was nice enough for some company and some entertainment. Tiger 65 Baht and LDs 100 Baht. ST rooms are 300 with fan or 350 with AC, ST fee was up to you (read 500 Baht).

  From Pattaya Secrets, Jan 2007: Afternoon Best

About 3 of the 10 girls were pretty, and very hands-on playful. I felt all the girls were all tired and made a note to go back around 2.00PM when the girls are fresh!

  From Pattaya Secrets, June 2006: Maybe Next Time

Good location, out of the way. Great potential.

I went there last night and not impressed at all. The quality of girls poor. The mamason's son was wondering in and out all the time. So no fun to had with the girls. I was asked if I wanted to be entertained in the swimming pool but I declined with the quality of the girls.

I will try and get there earlier next time and see if there is any improvement.

  From Pattaya Secrets, May 2006: What a Gem

What a gem!. French owned and nestled in a big house with a private swimming pool (skinny dipping is allowed at all times...), a bar and a number of sitting areas/arrangements dotted around the place....bar stools, leather sofas, thai style Gazeebo and deck chairs around the pool....we got there quite late and a few of the girls were off entertaining but there were still 7-8 babes, some really presentable....

A perfect place for a private binge or a quiet evening of cheap booze....barfines are 200 Baht and girlies are on "dark side" level of pay ie up to you...

  Review from Thai Visa, March 2008: Darts and Pool Teams

The bar has Darts and Pool teams, both of which participate in the Pattaya leagues. If you are after a quiet game of pool/darts etc. and want a relaxed (no bar girl scene) friendly atmosphere in which to have a few beers (its safe to take the missus as well) then it is hard to beat.

  Review from Pattaya-Live, Jan 2008: Semi Conscious

Sure is a nice bar, friendly staff, good pool table and 50 Baht Tiger.

Cashier is a looker and loads of fun. Breakfast very good value.

Just a shame you go out out for breakfast and go home several hours later semi conscious

  Review from Alex, Aug 2007: Lucky Find

The Lucky Time Bar is a haven away from the madness of the major soi's. Owned by a Dutchman named Alex and his wife, they welcomed us and treated us as friends and not just customers they helped make me and my friends holiday

This is a family orientated bar frequented by Expats from all over the world, It is well run and the perfect place to have a relaxed drink with family or friends. The Bar is well airconditioned and has Pool/Darts and Table Football to play, the friendly girls are more than happy to thrash you at the game of your choice.

The food served is fantastic and very well priced as is the beer 60 baht for an ice cold Singha (miss it already)

The girls are a really friendly bunch and there is no nicer feeling than to come down in the morning and be greeted by your name

The Apartments are spacious and very well presented and you have both aircon and a fan all are ensuite with daily cleaning service and towel exchange and most importantly inexpensive

A previous review stated there were no short time rooms this is really not that sort of bar. You are more than welcome to take ladies back to the bar for a drink or to your room

I will definitely be stopping here again next year.

  Review from Pattaya Talk, February 2006: Nice Bar, Nice Girls

Nice bar, nice girls, aircon pool room, darts etc. No short time rooms though.

Mango Pub

Soi Khao Noi
(near Sukhumvit Road)

 Mango Pub

Short time bar. Previously named Banana Bar but the name was disallowed. Girls once noted for missing items of underwear and an invite to check for yourselves.

  News from jj, April 2013: Plans Squashed

Previous news about plans for Mango have turned out to be false. The bar is continuing in the same management as before albeit at a low ebb.

  Review from jj, March 2013: Mangled Mango

Mango Bar has undergone some tumultuous times.

Back a few months, Mango had a stable crew of hands-on ladies. Over the past 6 mos or so, there has been a steady turn-over. A large number of ladies have come and gone (quickly).

I have no inside information, but I tend to think that no one can work with the current Belgian owner/manager. I’ve seen him berate a lady in the bar in from of customers. Since he speaks neither English nor Thai with any proficiency, this was almost a comical scene.

Whereas subsequent visits in the past would be rewarded with ladies one knew; now it is a roll of the dice if she will be there on a repeat visit. In recent days, two of the stalwarts have defected to a competing Khao Noi bar.  

  Review from jj, February 2012: Over-ripe?

Returned to Mango for the first time in a while at about 3pm. Same owner, major staff turn-over. Former costuming (or lack thereof) no longer in vogue. It seems like another bar in decline.

Ladies said the bar does OK at night but days are quiet. As per most owners, when customers decline, prices go up; not outrageous, but reaching too far for a Darkside bar. Look for it on the market soon.

  Review from jj, September 2011: A Fun Bar

Mango Bar lives up to the comment above. The ladies tend to lack certain items of clothing and are more than willing to lose even more.

The arrangement of the bar with a series of internal walls allows any interaction with the ladies to be discrete. Take 2-3 out the back door to play pool at your peril; they win most of the time, but even losing can be fun when clothing is constantly being adjusted.

A fun bar with reasonable prices and very friendly ladies; definitely hands-on.

Manneke Pis

Siam Country Club Road (at Mabprachan Reservoir)

 Manneke Pis

Restaurant and bar. Closed by August 2012

  From Pattaya Secrets, March 2007: Well Managed

The girls that work there hardly ever get bar fined, yet there are some good cuties there. It is a well managed operation, has good food, plays good music and there are absolutely no hassles for lady drinks.

Well worth a look, if you're out this way. No short time rooms though, the first time visitor might not even realise the girls are available

 News November 2011: Reported Closed

The bar has now been shuttered for a few days.

  From Pattaya-Addicts: June 2010: Very Decent

Very decent bar, pool table, friendly staff

  From Pattaya Today: Night March, Nov 2008: Good Value

A combination of open-air seating area at the front and a little more private section inside. The pool table gets plenty of use from both customers and girls and is free for customers.

About 12 ladies, two or three very easy on the eye, were on hand to greet customers with the traditional between-the-legs handshake. Lady drinks at 50 baht and soft drinks at 30 baht make this good value.

  Review from Matt, Dec 2007: Fresh Out

I went in search of the "farm fresh talent" referred to by the previous reviewer but didn't find any.

Instead I found 6 or 7 reasonably attractive girls attending to about 8 customers. A girl who I wasn't interested in and who spoke no English assigned herself to me. The rest of the girls were busy with regulars and I got a great view of the backs of their heads.

There's nothing here that you can't find in hundreds of beer bars all over Pattaya so unless you live very close by it's definitely not worth a trip.

  From Pattaya Talk February 2006: Snug

Decent bar, good music, good for farm fresh talent and normally has around a dozen girls. Great short time rooms, pool room, snug room. Worth a trip

The old Paradise Bar closed on 5th of December 2012. But it is now under new management and will re-open with a party on 2nd January 2013 at 2pm. Many new ladies are promised.

Post-opening update:

The new and improved PARADISE is up to 7 ladies; looking promising.

  From Pattaya-Addicts June 2010: Fun in the Bar

5 or 6 girls available for fun in the bar but not quite top notch. Reasonably priced drinks

  From Pattaya Today: Night March, Nov 2008: Busy

Its entrance is unpre-possessing but once inside punters must surely be reminded of a standard Soi 6-like den.

It has added a pool table, but games are free for customers. While there were only seven or eight ladies working, they were a typically friendly lot of knob fondlers. Of the four places I visited, Paradise was easily the busiest in terms of bums on seats.

Soft drinks are just 30 baht and lady drinks good value at only 80 baht. Bottled amber goes off at a mere 50 baht during a 6:00 to 7:00PM happy hour.

PJ Pool Bar

Sukhumvit: Soi Khao Talo

 PJ Pool Bar

Live music and swimming pool. Not really a girlie bar but you may strike lucky with the waitresses.

  Review from Pattaya-Live, Feb 2008: Fridays

Been hearing from a couple of people that this place is buzzing on Friday nights. Its not a "proper" girlie bar, but all waitresses are available for EC activities...

The place is quite large with a decent size bar area and sitting for 60-70 people. At the back there is a large swimming pool with a few more tables around it. Apparently the attraction on Fridays is the Live music (A duo composed of a Thai bird and a Seppo Hip-Hop wannabe...Not bad). Customers can join the singing or have a crack themselves, using the Kareoke laptop provided. There is also free scran.

All in all - a very good night! Not a problem to come with your TG, as loads of mixed couples there and not a Girlie bar envoirnment.

Still noted as popular in December 2010. Short time in the region of 700 Baht.

  Review from Pattaya-Addicts, July 2010: Best on the Dark Side

Without a doubt the best bar on the Dark Side is Pussy Cat Club. The bar itself is very tastefully done out in white leather chairs & booths, as well as some tables & chairs. The surroundings are fabulous, the bar staff very good and the ladies are excellent.

If you buy a lady drink, the bill shows the normal drink price + 30 baht for the lady.

Customers flock to this bar because of all the good features mentioned.

  Review from Pattaya-Live, Sept 2008: Bit out of the way

Owned by a happy going Italian and his luvly wife, who are not shy throwing drinks at you.

Very large and spacious bar. Pool table and a largish sitting area. 6-8 girls, some quite tasty and 3-4 lady boys, who are performing dances on the upper balcony. Decent music and mostly busy late.

  Review from Pattaya Talk, Nov 2007: A Bunch of Time

This is a newer looking bar with some very nice ladies. I spent a bunch of time here and enjoyed the company. Reasonable prices and cold beer. If you can handle the ladyboys here (and they stayed away) this is a nice place to spend some time.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Sep 2007:

Italian owned bar is a double shophouse. A pool table is available, seating and decoration is simple but tasteful.

About 6 girls are currently working, some of them eyecandy. Also 2 not so beautiful katoeys working.

Gin Tonic was 90 Baht, too much for the Dark Side. No short time rooms available.

 Red Lion Pub & Restaurant

Pub & restaurant with no hostesses

  Review from Pattaya Today, April 2007:

Seating is comfortable and cosy in the forefront with a dining room to the left and a huge bar at the rear where drinkers can sit and watch the big-screen TV.

The Red Lion has a leisurely opening at 11.00 am when the full range of the pub’s breakfasts and morning snack foods can be enjoyed. The big breakfast comes with unlimited tea or coffee and doubles up on everything, i.e sausages, bacon, eggs, toast, masses of baked beans, all the works. It costs B.150 for a Fred Flintstone start to the day with a smaller one for Wilma at B.110. 

Lots of traditional English options on the menu including: sausages & mash, fish ‘n chips, scampi, and home-made fish cakes, chicken tikka masala. There’s a special kid’s menu evoking childhood memories with offerings of fish fingers, chicken nuggets or sausages with chips and beans to please the juniors. The Thai menu is huge presenting 86 dishes.

  Review from jj, May 2006: Restaurant & Pub

Not long after opening, I asked the owner (Adrian) if it was a bar that served food or a restaurant that served alcohol.

He said he had aimed for the former but seemed to have achieved the latter.

Food was quite good for a while then a change of cooks and an increase in prices ran him off my list of restaurants, ie portions and taste not up to the price.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, May 2006: No Girlies

About 200 yards after Pattaya Hill Village, on left hand side. large English type bar. inside and outside dinner areas. Pool table. No girlies. popular with Brits who live in the Moobans around it. Food quite expensive for the location.

  Review from jj, December 2012: Warning Signs

Route 69 on Soi Khao Noi has a sign saying MEMBERS ONLY. Not exactly sure what that means in Thailand. But  dropped by one evening to find ONE lady working there.

Bought her a drink; ABSOLUTELY NO RESPONSE! She sat and talked; never so much as touched me!

The sign outside says TABLE DANCING; sign inside suggests the same; but NOT AVAILABLE!

THE lady says this is OLD, from before", "no one do now", but the sign remains!

WORST bar I've ever been to in Pattaya!

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, June 2010: Nicely decorated

I was pleasantly surprised. Nicely decorated bar which seems to cater for bikers. A pool table outside, 2 Vespas as decoration inside, a couple of guitars hanging on the wall. There is food available.

Beer around 65, LD 95 Baht. Unfortunately no ST rooms on the premises.

Pizza on Wednesdays and buffet on Sundays, free to regulars.

  Review from Pattaya-Live, Nov 2008: Taking Care

The bar is really nicely done out, not too many girls at the moment but the ones that were there certainly were not ugly and they were willing to take care much the same as in Soi 6.

This bar is owned by the same family as the old Jumbo bar on Soi 11 (now a parking lot).

This is an outside bar and has a free pool table. Heineken was around 70 and lady drinks 90 (or so).

Food is available and the cashew chicken I had was excellent. There were around 6 ladies available. 

A very nice place to spend time and I suspect it relies on the after golf crowd.

The bar moved to a new location, depending on which way it is approached it is on Soi Khao Noi Soi 9 or Soi Nernplubwan Soi 24.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, March 2010: Certainly trying

This bar has a new owner and in my opinion he is doing all the right things with the place time will tell. They have recently added a pool and a nice little out door area.

Could do with a few more girls and it would be a top place they are certainly trying

  Prices, November 2009:

80 Baht bottled Leo

  From Titty Twister, October 2009: Saloon

Built on a 2 rai piece of land, this western saloon style bar has a great music and entertainment system.

Our big garden has a Jacuzzi relaxing area (free Jacuzzi) and 3 new built rooms with shower and aircon. The garden is full of palms and banana trees so you have absolutely holiday feeling when you stay with us.

We have a big hidden parking area. For all bikers we have a big rain covered bike parking area.

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
