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.

Review from Pattaya Talk
May 2007: Fish & Chips
The more refined Pattaya visitor like moi prefers number 3 breakfast
at Antons.
Selection of German hams and sausages. Lovely pile of crispy white rolls
and mixed breads. Scrabbled egg with bacon chopped up inside, pickles
and free flow coffee which is excellent.
120 baht and once you've eaten in once you'll be back.
Nightimes in there has a 180 baht buffet which is fantastic. All German
food with nice sweets all included.

Review by Swanks, Sept 2006: Well done that
man
Considering the latest owner of this long standing Brit and
Aussie enclave has never had a bar before he's certainly getting
something right! He seems to be showing the "I've been in this game for
20 years and know everything there is to know" type of Publicans that
come here to start a bar, just how it should be done!
The staff are very welcoming and there are some really stunning lookers.
They all seem 'at ease' with the management and there is every variation
from chubby (MMM, says swanks) to one that easily could be on TV here,
she's really that pretty!
The food menu offers both Farang and Thai food and I must admit, it
seemed a bit on the expensive side!
One of the lads ordered a sandwich, cleared his plate, and had to go
home early that night as he was too full to drink! The portions were
just HUGE and he said it was that good he had to eat it all. We tried to
help but he managed to keep us at bay with a fork, so serves him right
in my opinion!
If I lived a bit nearer I would welcome this pub as my "Local" but there
seemed enough people to fill the bar even though other bars on the road
were empty!
"Well done that man" I say!

Bob's
BBQ & Grill

Review from Pattaya People,
August 2008: Slow Smoked Texas BBQ
Home of the World’s biggest – and many would say Pattaya’s best –
Hamburger and probably the best Slow Smoked Ribs in town.
Has now added a delicious new Daily Special from 149 to 195 baht
including tax.
Bob’s has gained a reputation for his quality food, very large portions,
and providing a dining experience which is as close as you’ll get to
Texas, at least in Thailand.
Bob’s specializes in a unique old Texan method of BBQ preparation. It is
called Slow Smoked Texas BBQ which is different in every aspect from
other BBQ methods where meat is either boiled or cooked quickly. Bob’s
method is a traditional slow smoked recipe that involves primarily
marinating the meat and then using a dry seasoning rub. The meat is then
cooked slowly over a very low temperature for a long period of time to
bring out the rich full flavoured taste. The smoked meat is very tender
yet remains juicy.
News from Bob's BBQ, Dec 2007: Beer Lao
We now stock Beer Lao. It is a good beer and gaining in popularity
here in Thailand. Price is 75 Baht.
From Bob's BBQ, Oct 2007: Bob's on the Metro
We have now made our move to soi LK Metro. We now have
more outdoor seating which is nice for people watching, we have a new
menu with some new items and some reduced prices.
We are open from about 9:30 am to 12:00 am Midnight seven days a week
And would like to invite everyone to stop by and as
always Pattaya Secrets members get a 10% discount at Bob's.

Brauhaus
German Restaurant
Review November 2005: No Brew
I was rather suckered into this one thinking that I could partake in
locally brewed Weisenbier. However the 'brau' or brewery part of the bar
seemed to be down or defunct. There were a couple of imported bottles
available but it was a pretty naff selection and was very pricy.
The aircon was deficient too which made for a pretty brief meal. A
bit of a shame as the food was very good. The inside restaurant is
free of hostesses but in the front beer garden there is a small bar that
is staffed by ladyboys

Restaurant
Review from
Jil in Pattaya,
Nov 2007: An Education
The restaurant was founded by former Minister of Health, Mechai
Viravaidya, as a way to raise funds for his personally-funded birth
control programs and AIDS education and awareness efforts in Thailand.
It really is very easy to write this restaurant review and not say a
thing about the food. I could start with the resort instead: The lush
tropical jungle, the manicured gardens, the whimsical and
tongue-in-cheek anti-government signs posted around the grounds ("Don't
steal, the government doesn't like competition"), the ponds and streams
and fountains and pools, the private villas, oceanside bungalows, and
wonderfuly decorated rooms (ranging from $75 to $180 per night for
rooms, and up to $360 per night for suites)... it's simply fantastic.
The restaurant, which is reached by a long walk through the jungle
grounds, is a monstrous, sprawling teakwood structure perched on — and
continuing down — the hill overlooking the resort's private beach. It
has 5 levels of covered and uncovered decking which in size makes this
one of Pattaya's largest restaurants. However, with the decks built
around the trees (so that it seems that not a single tree was cut down
in the restaurant's construction). Not a single opportunity to impress,
not a single detail has been missed in this restaurant. It is simply
beautiful.
The food? It is fine. Quite good even. The menu is primarily mainstream
Thai dishes, although there are most of the standby Western favorites
for the less adventurous. The best part is that it's quite inexpensive:
Most of the Thai entreés are in the 200 baht ($6) range, with the larger
and more top-shelf dishes (filet mignon, grilled seabass) in the 300-400
baht ($9-12) range. Soups, appetizers, sandwiches, and other light fare
are in the 75-150 baht ($2-4) range.
It's really quite simple to sum up Cabbages & Condoms restaurant: If you
have people visiting from out of town, if you want a quiet romantic
dinner, or if you have a large party, then you should go to Cabbages &
Condoms. It should be at the very top of every person's list for
restaurants... for places... that every person should visit while in
Pattaya.
News Jan 2007: Fine Dining and an
Inflated Bill
I decided to dine in one of those upmarket restaurants where they scam
their customers by printing prices less VAT and not including the
mandatory 10% service tip.
Cabbages and Condoms at the bottom of Pratamnak Hill (on Soi Asia) is a
fine example. It looks great in a jungle setting complete with water
vapour jets. The beach views make for a fine setting too.
I ordered my meal only to be politely told 5 minutes later that the
kitchen had run out of my choice. No problems, I selected another dish.
The alternative option was good and much enjoyed.
The falang food selection is a little limited, particularly when some of
the combinations are somewhat unappealing. I quite fancied a lamb steak
but didn't really want mashed potato with it.
Everything was fine until the inevitable check bin. The expensive bill
had predictably been inflated by adding in both the unavailable dish and
the replacement.
The mistake was quickly rectified and the cashier was also happy to
waive the service charge in atonement.

Thappraya Road
Open from 4:30pm |
Café des Amis
Restaurant with plenty of parking outside.
Review from
Pattaya Mail,
August 2008: Impressed
To say the Dining Out Team was impressed would be an
understatement. The ambience is wonderful, with a French provincial
feel to it. There is even an old black and white photograph of a Café
des Amis either in Vientiane or Hanoi, as well as some old Parisian
scenes.
The bar area is comfortable, you do not feel rushed, and you can
even eat there if you wish. Inside the dining area it is more
classical Thai, but the table settings are classical European.
The food was of a high standard, and certainly not overpriced. It
was a most enjoyable evening, and Café des Amis definitely does get a
very high recommendation from both Madame and myself. Do try it, you
will not be disappointed.

Casa Pascal 2nd Road (opposite
Soi Post Office) |
Casa Pascal
Gourmet restaurant.
Review from
Jil in Pattaya,
Aug 2007: Pattaya's Best Gourmet Restaurant
Located across Second Road from the old Shenanigans in the same
back-from-the-street area as Ruen Thai restaurant, Casa Pascal is quite
simply the best restaurant in Pattaya (price notwithstanding) in my
opinion.
The decor is handsome, the wait staff is perfect, and every dish is a
learning experience. Not a single opportunity for service is missed: You
can even call 038-723-660 for Pascal's personal limousine service to
come pick you up from wherever you are, and drop you off after your
meal.
We chose to have the 2,900 baht ($87) "Gourmet Set Menu", which was a
7-plate meal, with unlimited beverages. (If you find the price a bit
much, you can have the same meal for 1,450 baht ($44) without the
all-you-can-drink option.) In London or New York, a meal like this would
run into the hundreds-of-dollars range.

Review by Jay, Oct 2006:
Better Values
Cherry is owned and run by a Thai who worked and was well trained as a
chef at Bruno's.
Prices much less than Bruno's; with an extensive menu of Italian,
Western & Thai entrees. Ex. - Sirloin steak w/ baked potato, veggies,
free (basic) salad bar and appetizers was 180-Bt..tender and quite good.
Cloth table covers and napkins, attentive but not obtrusive service.
Nice food presentation. I hope more farangs learn of this place!! Aussie
steaks 275-Bt/up. One of the better values in Pattaya!

Italian Restaurant new for 2007. Not seen any signs of life in so far
in October but back towards end of November
Review Aug 2007:
The restaurant is making a good start. The Italian
owner is on hand to ensure that everything is as it should be.
The food is good quality and is real Italian (at least
as far as a non-Italian can tell).
The pizza, pasta & meat courses were all good though
perhaps my Thai dining partner was rather expecting a US style deep pan
pizza.
The decor is good with plenty of art work but I did
rather miss an aircon.
Main courses are around the 200 Baht mark

Pretty much the same as as your last review.
Breakfast now B75. Fat basterd B110. Mug of coffee B30.
Air con rooms with safe and fridge B6000 per month.
Chang still B35.
Only Fools and Horses DVD still going strong.
Review from Pattaya Chat, Feb 2007: Value
I know it is not the classiest joint you can find, and
his TV adverts probably put off as many people as they attract, but it
was actually rather good and incredible value. He does an English
breakfast at 60baht and one he charmingly calls the 'Fat Bastard' at
100baht. I had the Fat Bastard and it was very good. It came with tea
and toast and butter and had everything: bacon, 2 sausages, 2 eggs,
black pudding, fried bread, mushrooms, beans etc the lot. Incredible
value at 100 baht. And quick service as well.
Looking at his prices Crazy Dave's must be one of the best value places
in Pattaya. Certainly, worth a trip up the soi if you fancy farang food
in the middle of the night.
Oh yes, 'Only Fools and Horses' was on the big screen TV whilst I was
there.
March 2006: Cheap Chang
Best thing about it is the atmosphere (feels like it's been there for
30 years, very comfortable) and the 35 baht Chang. Love the grilled ham
& cheese.
From advertising 2006: Crazy Fools

Elephant Bar
Pratamnak Road: Soi 4 |
Elephant Bar
Restaurant & bar. Restricted to seasonal opening in 2009
Review Nov 2008: Motorway Service
Station Style
I am occasional visitor to Soi 4. My last intended visit was
curtailed when my mate said it looks more like a motorway service
station than a bar or Thai restaurant so we ended up in the more
traditionally Thai Cabbages and Condoms next door.
The latest time I stayed for a couple of drinks. For the cost
conscience the bar does a perfectly good draft beer for 45 Baht in a
decent sized glass so no probs there.
But really the bar no longer looks or feels like a bar any more, just
a rather large eaterie.
Review May 2008: Restaurant
Prices
The food has always been pretty good, never been the cheapest, but
decent enough quality and large portions and again my Beef hot pot
didn't let me down, no complaints what so ever with the food.
Now the drink prices. They must have doubled the prices, a can of coke
60 baht and a bottle of Singha now selling at 95 baht. Doesn't even have
air con.
News Jan 2008: Restaurant
Expansion
The bar area is now completely restaurant seating. Unfortunately it
looks a little like motorway service area seating. There is a live band
though, to up the stakes.
News Aug 2007: More Works
The builders are in. The bar is being extended down
one side. It looks like an auditorium like affair is being built in the
bar area at the back
News July 2006: Elephant
A-GoGo
The bar has installed facilities for GoGo dancing. Reportedly open
already but I haven't seen any reviews yet.

Flamboyant
Fine dining restaurant
Review from
Jil in Pattaya,
Jan 2008: Best Fine Dining Value
Flamboyant in Jomtien is still the best fine dining value... probably
in all of Thailand. Yes, I'm sure Flamboyant is cutting corners, or
skimping on ingredients, or something to keep prices down... but the
important part is that you can't tell. In Casa Pascal, you may pay
through the nose for your food, but you're eating truffles in champagne
sauce.

A stylish, classy renovation. The ebullient proprietor, Guido

The new Gian’s hits the spot in so many ways and is sure to please
Pattaya’s foodies. It combines traditional, healthy Italian cuisine
with an agreeable modern approach in an elegant and contemporary

Review from
Jil in Pattaya
July 2007: A Pricey Theme
Henry J Bean's is definitely a theme restaurant, but it sort of
misses the mark. The clientele on the night I was there was primarily
Thai people. (Tourists probably head for more "local" restaurants, and
the expatriate crowd obviously have their reasons for not coming.) My
guess is that this restaurant (with its Fillipino band) is the
starting-off spot for well-to-do Thai people.
The band was good, and the music was fine but far too loud for a
restaurant. Most of the entrees are around 250-400 baht. However,
drinks are pricey, with small (0.25L) draft beers being 100 baht, and
mixed drinks 160 baht.
A little bit expensive and definitely far from the best meal deal in
town. Add to that the loud music; service that, while satisfactory, was
not outstanding; the tacky decor; and the food that was pretty much
average... and you have a restaurant that you can go ahead and leave to
the rich Thai people, who don't know any better.

Bar
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.

Jameson's
Restaurant and Irish pub without hostesses
Review from Pattaya Chat,
March 2005: Good Track Record
Very nicely fitted out but like has already been said it is in the
middle of nowhere but that can be a good thing if you want a quiet drink
with a few friends away from the madness and there is plenty of space
for parking in the pub car park. The couple of times I've been in the
place it was pretty empty which is a shame really as it could be a good
boozer if it can get enough custom.
The manager used to own Jools in Bkk about 10 years ago and also the TQ2
as well as managing Delaneys/Shenanigans and is a nice guy.
Great weekend carvery and wonderful staff. 50 Baht for a coke, 30
Baht for water
Review from Pattaya Chat,
March 2005: Pea and Sham Soup!
Was one of the Manager's first customers when he had Jools in Bangkok
where portions were super-size, especially the Pea and Ham soup.
Therefore when I tried Jamesons a while back for lunch and saw the
aforementioned soup on the menu I decided that past experience would
prevail. Ordered Pea and Ham Soup and Roast Beef sandwich.
Soup arrived, a smattering of green sludge was deposited on the bottom
of the bowl. indeed not enough liquid to drown the proverbial fly! The
sandwich arrived, two miniscule pieces of bread buried under a mass of
rabbit fodder, specifically requested NOT to be supplied! Somewhere
there were two tiny slivers of meat, and I do mean tiny!
The manager was called for who just laughed in my face as I explained
politely my dissatisfaction. Needless to say never been back.

Review from

Dec 2006: World Class Expensive
The deco and atmosphere was fantastic. A real classy feel to the
place. A pre-dinner cocktail was 415 Baht (menu price 350 Baht + 10%
service and 7% tax).
Starters from 415 Baht Steaks starting at 1750 Baht (+ vegetable side orders at 110 Baht each)
The meal was very good, but no better than the Mata Hari, Posidon or
Queens all within a small distance of this Manhattans.
Review from
Thai Visa,
Dec 2006: US Prices
I've had nothing but good reports from my friends who have dined
here. It's been my experience that quality steakhouse restaurants are
not available in Pattaya and that includes the ones mentioned above. My
friends report that some of the side a la carte dishes are nothing
special and can be avoided if you want to cut-corners on the tab.
The prices are equivalent to a good quality steakhouse here in the
U.S. (not that bad considering cost to import quality beef).

Review from
Pattaya Today, Night March
Sept 2008: Noshery
The Neeroys bog-standard noshery is one joint doing alright despite
the overall business downturn in Pattaya. Catering to a local market and
offering stomach fillers at very reasonable prices, it’s no wonder the
place is pretty busy most nights. The 99-baht fish-and-chips remains one
of the best value meals in the city.
Review from Asia
Bugle, Sept 2007: Good Place
We went out for a quick and easy feed: partaking of the 99-baht
fish-and-chips in Neeroys restaurant. That was a good place for the
price we paid.
Review by Tim, Oct 2006: Sorry to Say...
I made it a point to go the Nee Roys as your site said it had good
Indian food.. Well it was a costly trip via Baht bus.. but I though the
food would be worth while..
But sorry to say.. the food did not live up
to my expectations.. In fact it was in MY opinion poor.. the people were
nice.. the price for the beer was OK.. but the food was poor quality..
had their Chicken dish.. poor.. had their curry potatoes.. poor.. they
did not even have Lentils.. the mainstay of a good Indian meal.. Nan
bread.. OK.. but nothing special..
Review from
Yellow Board,
April 2006: Better than the UK
If there are any Indian food lovers, may I suggest NeeRoy's on Soi
Chaiyapoon almost facing Crazy Dave's. NeeRoy's is quite cheap for
western food and the Indian stuff is better than here in the UK which is
famous for this sort of food.
NeeRoy's is owned by a guy from Bradford and his Thai lady.

The New Inn reopened a while ago with a new management. They seem to
be spending a lot of Baht on publicity and "special offers". The
friendly and excellent Thai lady cook is still there, but today will be
my last visit of many past. A small Tiger and orange juice, take-away
sausage and mash, a pie and a soup left me with 400 Baht from a big
brown and white note. That's 150 Baht (25%) more than 3 months ago. Like
many expats, my income has not increased at all these last three months
so how can I pay such prices?
The New Inn will surely founder (as are many other restaurants
presently) for want of a policy that is appropriate to the current
market situation. Good, cheap food and drink will keep people coming and
smaller margins are then multiplied by more covers. The restaurant will
be popular, have a good atmosphere and customers will return.
I can eat three sausages, mash potato, peas and gravy in the comfort
of my own home for 95 Baht. Why would I pay 200 Baht at the New Inn or
anywhere for that matter?
Review by DavidT, Sept 2006: Good
Grub
Just some early impressions. It's clean, well organised and olde
englysh style. Three waitresses or so and a free pool table. Around 8
dining tables, 4 TVs and some comfortable furniture. Friendly service.
What makes this place worth a visit is the grub. Extensive and
interesting English and Thai menu - takeaways and telephone orders are
no problem. Roasts available every day. Reasonable prices and the food
is really excellent. My visits were around a quiet 4 PM so I don't
know what happens after that.

Jil in Pattaya,
Aug 2007: High Quality British
Food
Prices for food were reasonable, and the dining room
was clean and bright with new furniture and pleasant-enough decor. The
staff seemed generally competent and the service was error-free.
Everything was more than acceptable for an establishment that isn't
focused exclusively on food.
Overall, Ricky's on Soi Buakhow is a nice little
restaurant serving reasonably-priced, high quality British food.
Definitely worth a visit for a middle-of-the-road budget combined with a
good appetite.

Nordic Garden Restaurant Pratamnak Road: Soi 4 |
Nordic Garden
Restaurant Review from
Jil in Pattaya,
Dec 2007:
A lovely little courtyard open-air restaurant with pools, waterfalls,
trees, plants, live music, and a Friday-night, all-you-can-eat steak
plus food buffet for 300 baht. On nights other than Friday, they
serve a regular menu. The steak was simply great... nice and tender.
There really isn't more to the restaurant or the meal than that; but
what else do you need? For 300 baht, you can gorge yourself on steak
which at other restaurants would cost you 2 or 3 times as much, if not
more.
If you're not a fan of steak, you have a very nice buffet served in a
very nice setting. It's nothing overly special, but then again when you
think about it: It is.

Hassle Free?
Palmer's is reasonably hassle free, at least from the ladies, but it is
a sign of the economic times that the watch vendors et al, are getting
pretty consistent in their sales pitches, and they do not appear to be
discouraged by the simple 'miaow khrap' anymore, more
difficult to shake off than a bogey stuck to your middle finger!

Food
Long lasting bar run by an English guy who used to be a cook in the

A few girls, some of whom go as they say, and some reasonable English
food and decent drinks prices. Draught is 55 baht a glass. A lot of
older guys hang out there and he gets a lot of repeat business.

PIC Kitchen
Restaurant in a luxurious jungle hut setting
Review from
Jil in Pattaya,
April 2007: Sitting on the Foor
One of Pattaya's fanciest, prettiest, and oldest
restaurants (founded 1984)
The restaurant compound is built out of a gorgeous old teakwood Thai
house. The decor was great, the music was great.
There are 2 dining rooms: one where you sit in chairs;
and one where you sit on the floor. Predictably
high prices of course, about 2.5 times those in more straightforward
restaurants. So would I recommend the place?
Sure... just as long as you know what the price is going to be, and that
what is defined as the best Thai food in Pattaya is, to my palate at
least, not too much different from restaurants that cost half as much.
But, it is a nice place to spend an evening with friends or as a couple,
and the Thai girls love it. (Just don't let them see the bill at the end
of the night.)

videos or read the sport in the Bangkok Post.
The food in my experience, is always good . Full English breakfast ,
highly recommended. While most Farangs seem to order Fish and Chips,
steak and so on, I've enjoyed many great Thai meals here , Green Chicken
Curry, Stir fry Thai noodle with Pork, all good stuff, fresh, tasty, and
cheap.

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

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,

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.

I have eaten here many times during my last visit to Pattaya.
They have both European and Thai dishes on the menu. The food is really
good and comes in big portions. ( especially the European dishes )
The prices are very OK. For instance 80 Baht for 2 eggs on toast with
a cup of tea or 220 Baht for an enormous sweet and sour deep fried fish.
Inside there is big TV screen.
They also have rooms that are 500 Baht for the standard and 700 Baht for

Off Day
We went there for lunch last year 2007. The waitress was rude to my
wife, the pork roast I could have repaired my shoes with the rubbish and
we were the only customers there at the time and I’m not surprised if
what we were served up with is the norm.
Maybe it was our turn to have their bad experience or it was an off day
but the place isn’t cheap. I’m in the industry and I don’t bother to
complain, I just don’t go back however after having great meals at
Secrets and the French restaurant towards the end of Walking Street Le
Notte, and Sailors Bar in Soi 8 what a disappointment.
Rosie’s promotes themselves as a traditional English, Continental and
Thai food establishment so maybe they are not training their staff to
cover such a range of fare. Or as I said maybe it was an off day.

Review by Materialsman, October 2009:
Cheers Style Bar
I quite like Secrets as a concept, and I am
a regular contributor to their website Forum, though I do consider they
charge like a wounded rhinoceros for my favoured bottled Heineken, thus
forcing me to drink the draft beer Tiger on my visits here, I don't have
a problem paying outrageous prices for a bottled beer in a Go-Go, where
there is acres of naked flesh on display, but I feel that in a Coyote
style Bar, the pricing in Club Blu or the Honeypot is more to my liking.
Secrets is what it is, a sort of Cheers style Bar where
everyone knows your name and was busy as always, a very successful
business concept, perhaps partly, but not singularly due to the
ubiquitous and gregarious Manager Larry, though last night I felt
the Mamasan was a bit hasty in trying to thrust a girl at me for
company, actually before I had even got my first beer, that may be
fine for a shy newbie, but I like to take my time and actually
select a cutie to sit with me, it's a minor irritation, but I guess it
worked, as I felt obliged to buy a lady drink and swap idle
where you come from,' 'what's your name' style crap until I
could beat a retreat.

Review from Pattaya-Live,
March 2008: Spanking
Service was good, there were a shit load of girlies and a good load
of them hot, the pizza we ordered was spanking, and the ale was cold.
Review April 2007: Lonely (but Good Food)
The general Pattaya rule is that bars employ hostesses
but restaurants generally avoid them.
I thought it would be nice to have meal with company
rather than the usual eating alone so I stopped by Secrets as one of the
few bars that combine girls with food (and aircon)
Unfortunately the way that Secrets hook up the girls
with customers is pretty naff and it wasn't to be. The girls were lined
up just inside the door and they were a pretty mixed bunch. A couple of
oldies were the first to catch my eye in the short time that you to make
a choice. My body language sent out distress signals to alert the two
oldies that they shouldn't bother trying their luck. Unfortunately the
whole pack of girls caught the same distress signals and the whole lot
ignored me for the entire visit.
Once inside and having time to survey the scene it
seems that many customers were sitting there lonely and that the girls
would either ignore them all or else flock around a few big spending,
big character types that were probably regulars. They clearly were
enjoying the attention so there are surely a few good reviews deserved
by the bar.
Still I pressed on with the food order and the service
was prompt and efficient.
The meal was very good and the chef had made a fine
effort to put a little style and originality into basic pub food.
Just a shame that no hostesses so much as glanced in
my direction.

Review by jj, Dec 2006: Keep it a SECRET
The only ones likely to be spread a word of mouth ad for Secrets are the
investors. This place is best kept a secret from seasoned punters.
We found ourselves on Walking Street a bit before the angel-hour of 8PM.
The first group of hello-girls we encountered south of Pattaya Tai were
touting Secrets . They promised "sexy girls". Being easily swayed, we
fell for the ploy.
Secrets is one of those beautifully appointed bars that cost the
investors a large fortune to outfit. It's attraction stops there. At
that early hour, there were perhaps 20-25 ladies in residence. For the
most part they were completely ignoring the 3-5 punters present. They
were arranged in gaggles of 4-6, deeply engaged in conversation among
themselves; one group surrounding a video game machine near the side
door. Everything the previous reviewers said about this place: seating,
music, oldies and fatties is completely true. Three large flat-screen
TVs were showing a concert video -- with the sound off. The DJ was
playing the standard CD that the Thai government seemingly issues with
every liquor license. Drink prices were going rate except for something
called "Secrets Cocktails" of unspecified ingredients for 280 baht!
Likely the investors will pepper sites like this with rave reviews in
hopes of recouping their funds. With the competition on Walking Street
alone, I give this place a year at most before they pull the plug.
Review Sept 2006: Suay
The bar is immediately attractive. It features a central bar with
comfortable chairs at the bar. There are bays of couch seating around
the back. Lighting and decoration is spot on.
There are dancing poles with girls in disco wear.
Bottled Tiger Beer was very reasonable at 50 Baht. San Miguel,
spirits and lady drinks are 95 Baht
I didn't stay long though as the hostess who attached herself to me
was an oldie. In fact the girls on the prowl in my vicinity weren't a
very attractive bunch but I did spot a couple of pretty girls around the
other side of the bar.

Nice Bar But there prices are to high for a pub had a few drinks
yesterday in This new Shenanigans in Pattaya there Vodka for a shot
was 160 Baht without a mixer and red wine was 180 Baht a glass.
It's way over the top. The wine, by the bottle, is also expensive
and not very good. The food is pricey for very basic pub grub. Shame
they moved as the old venue had considerably more character than this
modern mausoleum.
Review from
Jil in Pattaya,
Nov 2007: Pretty Place
The new space is really quite nice, with tons of wood finish, a
tiled floor, and very high quality furnishings. Although any
connection to Ireland and the atmosphere of an Irish pub is completely
gone, it is a pretty place. There is also outdoor seating, located out
in front of the restaurant.
The interior of Shenanigans is very nice but not particularly Irish. I
really didn't even look at the menu, except to get an idea of the
prices: It seemed that the majority of dishes were in the 300-350 baht
range... a bit pricey, but for an upscale non-fancy place like this,
it's about average.
Instead, I went for the Friday-night special: All you can eat bar-be-que
ribs for 295 baht... which is really a pretty good deal. The ribs were
great... I also had a pint of Kilkenny for 220 baht.
The total bill for 5 people came to 2700 baht, which is about average
for Pattaya upscale tourist-focused locations like this. I really
wouldn't recommend Shenanigans over a more homely place like the Pig &
Whistle on Soi 7, or The Queen Vic on Soi 6... but it's a nice enough
place to take out-of-towners for dinner before starting a night out in
Pattaya.
Review Summer 2005: Up Market
It does some excellent
traditional meals although these are on the pricy side for Pattaya.
Sunday lunch accompanied by sport on TV seems well popular.
Perhaps a
little bit of an up market crowd though. The bar always seems to feature
in the company parties that provide posed pictures of socialites in the
local press. |

Been in there a couple of times, seems like a well run gaff and the

Was in there last night having a few beers with a couple of friends and
the owner and felt quite at home, they have San Miguel light which I've
never had before but seemed like a decent enough drop of booze and
certainly set me on the way. Also have draught Bass.
There is ample parking behind the complex, just turn off 2nd Road and
drive straight though past Tropical berts on your right and you'll se

good place to chill out away from the chaos that is much of Pattaya.

Wi's Restaurant
Restaurant. Wi’s is located on the former premises of Cherry’s
Restaurant with the Chef and sous-Chef remaining to form this new
venture.
Review from Pattaya Today,
Sept 2008: Gun Club
Wi’s restaurant has adopted the philosophy of “enjoyable food at
enjoyable prices”. The restaurant only opened its doors two months ago
but already they have a loyal following of regulars who appreciate their
three “p’s” of performance, i.e. professionalism, pricing and
presentation.
A big airy terrace for al fresco dining leads into a relaxed
air-conditioned area. The menu is a very nice collection of
predominately European cuisine (with Swiss over-tones) and a good
selection of Thai favourites.
We gave Wi’s a big tick. Good quality produce at affordable prices,
cooked with tip top professionalism and served in a relaxed and
laid-back ambiance hits the spot in anyone’s book. This is the sort of
local gem that will become a firm favourite and have its regulars
returning again and again.

Review August 2007: Your Typical Pub
Strange for a themed pub but the restaurant appeared a
little formulaic. There are several 'English' pubs in Pattaya, none of
them offer hostesses for a chat with your meal, all expect you to be
interested in the sport on TV and all seem to buy their meals from the
same microwave/Boil in the bag catering suppliers.
Still the service was good, the meals were
inexpensive, they were perfectly good quality and had good sized
portions.
Now if only I could find an 'English' pub that would
supply a pretty dinner companion.

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.

July 2007:
Short Time Edging Up
From
Pattaya Secrets
and tallies with my own observations
- Dancing Girl ... ST 1000 / LT 2000 (assuming good performance). I would suggest that you should be willing to add an extra
500 to the GoGo fee if you get stuck on a model class girl and
you find yourself unable to say no.
- Beer Bar Girl ... ST 500 / LT 1000 (quickie) to ST 700 /
LT 1500 (for an entire evening of effort)
- Street Freelancer ... ST 500 / LT 1000 (no questions, no exceptions)
- Short Time Bar Girl... Traditionally ST 500 with 250 for the room (+ small
tip for good service) but now edging up to ST 700 and 300 for
the room
