-5 Supperclub

-5° Supperclub

Nova Suites
Soi Soi Sukrudee
(North Pattaya soi off Pattaya Klang between 2nd & 3rd Road)

From 6pm

www.amari.com

 -5° Supperclub

Lounge, restaurant and club. Drinks are 120 Baht for bottled Heineken. 180 Baht was later reported for a bottle of Singha

  From Pattaya Secrets, Feb 2008: Ice Room

It costs 500 baht to go into the Ice Room (jackets provided) for 25 minutes. During this 25 minutess you can apparently order as many Vodka shots as you want free of charge.

The Supper Club is an all white room with a sunken bar in the middle which is encircled by alcoves in which you will find large mattresses to lay, slouch, sit on. Shoes off of course. In the middle of the mattress is a small table 6 inches high from which you eat your food. Each mattress will hold about 6 - 8 people.

The menu is mixed at around 1000 baht for 3 course or 1300 for 4 course. There is no 'Thai' food as such.

IMO it is a very stylish place that would be best enjoyed with a group of friends.

...and a few very beautiful service girls

  From -5 Supperclub, Jan 2008: Style Conscious

Enjoy Chef's latest creations, while relaxing on gigantic beds of pure white with colour changing lights. Mouthwatering fusion food, is served ‘in bed’, with cool music and style-conscious staff, setting the mood.

After 10pm the volume is cranked up and the lights down, for the perfect atmosphere to party the rest of the night away...

3 Angels Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

 3 Angels Bar

Opened in August 2006 replacing DMTs

  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.

  Notes from Pattaya forums, Dec 2007: Girls on Top

This must be one of the most talked about bars in Pattaya. Some people love it and some people hate it.

Clearly the pretty girls are in charge about the selections and the lucky guy are probably fans of the bar. The unlucky guys then probably hate it and probably waste a fortune in lady drinks in the hope that they can get selected by the girls.

Many of the girls have followed manager Patrick to U Too bar a couple of blocks south on the same road.

  Review from Ryan, Dec 2006: White and Blue Tags

You have two types of ladies working here, the ladies wearing white tags cannot leave the bar as the are solely to work in the bar, I found these ladies friendly, as a matter of fact I have made two really good friends from this type of lady from the Atlantic Bar.

Then you have the ladies with the blue tags, you can barfine these women. Also the owners Boom and Johan are good hosts and do a lot for you, it is especially good if you wish to watch a sporting event.

  Review from Carl, Nov 2006: Collecting Lady Drinks

Found a few crackers here nice girls very friendly and accommodating. After talking to a few girls they told me they do like collecting lady drinks then they like to disappear near closing time to go dancing down walking street.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, May 2006: All at Sea

Most of the girls at Atlantic can't even be bothered to notice you exist. Once you've got a drink in front of you, you might as well be invisible at this bar.

It wasn't just me, mind you. One time I was there, the guy next to me had something like four ladydrinks in front of him. He was sitting alone. Why? because the girls were too busy talking to each other on the other side of the bar! I couldn't believe it. Every now and then one would sidle over, take a sip of her precious drink, and head back to chat with her friends.

I had thought I was ignored on my first visit because there was a football match on and perhaps the girls had been instructed not to chat up customers who were watching the game.

Not so. The second time around, I was still ignored, but at least I didn't buy four ladydrinks for non-existent ladies like the poor sap next to me.

  Reader review, Dec 2006: Bee There

A few changes seem to have occurred in this bar over the last year. The main one is a stock of new pretty girls. The general atmosphere in the bar definitely seemed different from all other bars down the street when I visited it.

The staff are polite and friendly. Drinks are very reasonably priced. You can go and have your fun nearby with your new "friend" then come back and relax in the bar and even have a game of pool on the nice slate-bed table.

If you want to listen to your favourite song you can be your own DJ on the computer disco system. It's definitely worth a visit even if you only want to play pool against their resident Thai lady pool hustler. She will out-drink and out-play you time and time again!

 Bret Bar

Short time bar renamed from Christina May's.

  News April 2008: Bret Passes Away

Bret of Bret Bar in Soi 6 suffered a heart attack and auto crash in October of 2006, rendering him essentially incapacitated. Recovery was very slow for Bret, but there was clear progress being made through 2007. Recently, however, that changed, and his health went into a rapid decline. Last Tuesday, April 22, his heart problems overcame him.

  Review April 2008: Environmentally Friendly

A soi 6 with a mixture of entertainments. The bar has an outside section complete with pool table and also an inside section featuring little but the typical sofas.

The girls are a mixture too from Soi 6 stalwarts to innocentish newcomers.

The bar has something against electricity so don't expect aircon or much in the way of lighting.

  Review Jan 2007: Short Time Karaoke

I was drawn in by a pretty girl who was a little hyped up by the free flowing fun from a party.

The bar has dedicated most of the available floor space to an outside beer bar area. However there is a an inside portion too. The desire to escape both the party karaoke and the hot evening area spurred me to head for the aircon.

There seemed to be a lack of traditional Soi 6 sofa seating. There were stools at the bar and single easy chairs. Nothing to stop amorous couples doubling up but if they chose to sit in a chair each they would be uncomfortably distant from each other.

But of course short time bars succeed or fail depending on the girls on hand. And on this particularly occasion the bar proved to be a big success.

  Review May 2008: Friendly Cows?

Always seems quiet but they seem to have a few pretty girls on hand. I have always been looked after well in the bar

There is a computerised music system with every track known to man.

They allow a bit of naughty stuff in the bar but they make of a play of shutting doors and standing guard. Easier just to retire upstairs.

  Review April 2007: No Bull

There's no bar theme linking the bar with either Spanish bull fighting or even the Birmingham shopping centre. No, just a typical small soi 6 bar complete with the usual 2 person sofas.

My drinking companion reckoned that the bar was Thai owned.

The bar seemed well run and the bar tabs were fair with bottled beer going for 70-75 Baht (strangely two prices for the same brand of beer though!)

But as always, merits in this type of bar are down to the hostess of choice. My selection was eloquent, witty, pretty and suitably enticing so the bar was therefore a hit.

Bus Stop window

Bus Stop Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (near 2nd Road)

 Bus Stop Bar

Short time bar & guest house

  Thanks to Jay, June 2008: Volume

The bar tends to have the music volume set too loud for interviews or conversation depending on how you look at it. Requests to get it turned down granted but it wasn't long before the volume would edge up again. Spoilt a good chat with a cutie.

  Review from Funseeker, June 2008: No Urge to Leave

I have just come back from Pattaya and what a time I had, in fact it was the best holiday I ever had.

Was made very, very, welcome at the Bus Stop bar, in fact I spent most of my time there (woo hoo) I never felt the urge to leave Soi 6 in the night time as it was full of beautiful girls.

I travelled around Pattaya but Bus Stop was the best place and prices were good at Bt500 short time and Bt1000 long time, if you wanna stay there it is only Bt650 per night

Beers were Bt80 and the Aussie owner (Dave) was a great bloke who told me the best places to go in Pattaya and he even showed me them personally (fantastic).

Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

  News, Apr 2008: Private Bus

The open bar idea was not a complete success so now there is a closed section set back into the bar.

  News, May 2007: Bus Shelter

The front has been knocked out to make this into an open bar

  News, December 2005: No Lady Drink Premium

An Aussie lad has opened a new bar, The Bus Stop, next to King Kong bar. Sensible prices (60 Baht Tiger), no lady drinks they are same price we pay, music is great, ST rooms are superb and he's a few 'new to Pattaya' ladies.

Nice to see someone has done a bit of homework before setting out his stall. Well worth a look guys

The owner still pays the ladies from every drink bought for them, out of his profit no less. His prices are sensible too. The downside is that he's lost all his girls Right now he's doing his best to find replacements Quite why they have all cleared off isn't clear, maybe it's just down to it being a new bar, or maybe the Thais don't like his approach?

Butterfly Bar sign

Butterfly Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)
(mid-block north-side)

The Butterfly Skysuite

 Butterfly Bar

Short time bar eventually re-opened after a couple of month's police closure. Intermittent opening at the beginning of 2008.

  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.

Shophouse bar with aircon

  Review from Fergus, Oct 2007:

This is a down-to-earth local pub with a quality pool table, dart board etc - but with one exception... it's in Pattaya!

Fun, relaxed, great beer, great company and a brilliant landlord.

  June 2006:

A very good local pub type bar with aircon. lots of Brits use it as well as Aussies and Yanks and the odd German so a good mix- usually has girls and its interesting watching the comings and goings to the silom massage across the rd.

  December 2005:

Its a great place to have an afternoon beer before a night session.

lots of banter and if your a newbie Willie is a great guy to show you the ropes. I think Willie is one of the great characters in Pattaya and he is worth dropping in on.

 The Clansman

Short time bar opened in May 2007

  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.

  Review from Dave, April 2008: Live Band

The Classroom Bar is a large semi-open bar with a live band and a couple of pool tables.

The service staff are very friendly and it proved a good last stop on my way back to the hotel late at night or in the early hours. Some nice girls here but it seems more like a place you take a girl to rather than go there to find one.

 CLick Bar

Short time bar

  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.

Open beer bar, demolished in a re-development in June 2008

  News from Pattaya City News, June 2006: Cosying up to Immigration Police

Pattaya’s Immigration Bureau received a complaint from a bar girl. She claimed that owner would assault girls who work at the bar and would go as far as stab them on occasion for, what he considered to be, fun.

Wilhelmus Van Kempen from Holland was found to have an expired passport. A check with the Dutch Embassy in Bangkok uncovered a list of outstanding warrants regarding firearms offences back in Holland and according to the Embassy he was on their wanted list for some time. He will be handed over to Embassy officials in Bangkok and the man will be deported back to Holland.

Later, Immigration Police returned to the bar and made a further arrest of a German man who was found to be working without a Work Permit. Harold Kramer was arrested and taken to Pattaya Police Station. He claimed he was also the owner of the bar. Despite this he was charged with the offence and will now face deportation if he is convicted.

  From Pattaya Secrets, Nov 2006:Mercedes and BMW’s

A newish nightspot aimed at middle class Thais.

There is a limited beer choice of  Singha & Corona. The Thai preference is for a group to share a bottle of whiskey.

The place is very small. There is a ground floor areas and a balcony overlooking the stage. The place is often packed with queues outside too. The car park is bulging with Mercedes and BMW’s.

Musically, its hip hop tapes or CDs until 10.00pm and then a live group. They also have a DJ scratching 12”singles.

There is no dance floor and there are no high tech lasers, dry ice machines or scanners etc, the sound system is not bad but nothing compared to some of the go-go bars on Walking Street.

Disco opened as Slim in November 2006. Renamed in 2007. Expensive with lighter skinned beauties that tend to attract the Thais and middle east visitors

  Review from Pattaya Secrets: Wallet Slimming

Reportedly the latest venture from the people that ran the popular but ill-fated Route 999.

Aimed primarily at Hi-So Thais with two rooms, a DJ Club and Fashion Club.

The DJ Club has a large stage also overlooked by a large balcony. The decor is good and the sound system is impressive.

The Fashion club features coyote dancing and has private booths. The girls are said to be very pretty.

The beer selection is limited to bottled corona at 250 Baht a knock. Lady drink tequilas are also 250 Baht. There also seems to be a very expensive policy of having to order a tequila yourself to drink with the lady. The Thai norm of ordering a bottle of whiskey for a group seems to be the way to go here.

Barfines are reportedly 15,000 Baht but I would take this as meaning the dancing girls aren't barfinable rather than anyone being expected to pay this amount.

Shabbier & smaller than My Friend You. BJs openly downstairs, rougher girls but the occasional surprisingly nice girl. Girls are basic, down to it, shameless and spit your cum in a bucket... rough and ready...!

  Review October 2006: Dangly Things

Not one of the most intimate nor the most comfortable of the soi 6 bars. It is a single shop house bar with mostly stool seating rather than the more usual sofas. There are actually 3 sofas at the front of the bar but these were not being used for any particularly naughty purposes. This is probably down to a lack of privacy. The front door is shielded from passers by only be dangly things. The back door onto Soi 6/1 was open with plain glass anyway.

The frontage of the bar was decorated by half a dozen pretty looking potential companions. The lack of an intimate bar area seemed to make for even more undue haste to 'go upstair' than usual.

The bar features innocuous music at low volume and prompt service with standard prices. The toilet was clean and well looked after.

The rooms are out the back, into an eatery, up the stairs, grotty landing area, not a terrible room but crappy shower and only cold water. 300baht, 700 baht for the girl

 Good Fellas' Bar

Short time bar with mixed girls & lady boys

  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.

There is a cavernous Castle Frankenstein interior, with hi-tec accessories like internet stations and multiple TVs.

The bathrooms are a knockout. Drinks and food are reasonably priced, and you can play pool or watch sports on a huge screen.

But unlike Bangkok Gulliver’s, there are no freelancers. The manager says they’d be welcome, and he’s considering promotions to attract them.

  Review Sept 2007: Well Looked After

A pretty small bar with the usual girls and sofas. The bar features a friendly host and mamasang who works hard to ensure that the customers are well looked after.

There's a ensuite shower in at least one of the upstairs rooms.

  From the Yellow Board, February 2006: Get Acquainted

There were about 10 girls waiting on a chance to entertain. There are comfortable sofas inside to help one get acquainted.

At the beach end of the street is the Halifax bar. They always had a bunch of girls out front and a few always called out to me. I went in with a kind of chubby girl with a great smile and attitude.

I had a good time and can recommend this bar. (Decent rooms by the way).

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

Henry Bean's frontage

Henry Bean's Bar & Grill

Beach Road (North end)

 Henry Bean's Bar & Grill

Large American themed bar and restaurant.

  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.

  Review January 2008: Girl Share Scheme

A recently refurbished bar that is more attractive than most on the soi. There are some attractive girls on duty and they seem to have a girl share scheme with TG next door. If they are barfined out, then spare girls from TG will step inside.

Honey Pot

Pattaya Soi 2

From 7pm until 4am

Live band from 9:30pm

 Honey Pot

Coyote dancing bar, opened in autumn 2006 on the site of the old Tropical Bar.

Singha beer 100 Baht. Heineken 105 Baht.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, May 2007: Cute Girls

I really enjoy Honey Pot. Definitely lots of cute girls and have had fun with them even if the one girl did quote me 5000 Baht LT.

Not just the looks of the girls I enjoy but the bar itself. When the girls dance they do tend to look out the window a lot though at times.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Jan 2007: Disinterested

Reports of cute but disinterested girls but also a warning to keep your eye on the bin as phantom lady drinks chits have been subtly dropped in 2 customers bins.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Dec 2006: Reception

They seem to differentiate between hostess girls and girls on the door area (reception) (and that's half the girls sometimes) who are there to entice you in. They will walk with you to the bar if you take one but otherwise they are supposed to stay at door. If you do buy one a drink they are supposed to leg it back to the door unless you bf them or continue to buy them drinks and a mamasan gives them the okl. The owners clearly know their business but I think this aspect is rather absurd.

  Review from Thailand Nightlife Roundup, Dec 2006: Sleek

A sleek new bar. Stunning slender dancers in tight vests and hot-pants ripple compellingly on 3 platforms, and big TV-screen windows give a view of the raucous street-life and kiosk bars opposite.

The air-conditioning is cool, the Burberry-clad service is  friendly, the cream-and-biscuit paintwork is soothing, and the house-band is terrific.

Starting off with dinner-jazz in Pat Metheney style, they modulate through bass-beat funk to rock classics you can headbang along to.

Soft drinks 65 baht, booze at 95 baht, ladydrink 100 baht & hostess barfine 600 baht, service girl 500 Baht.

  Review Oct 2006: Hansum Men Only

I visited at an early hour when the only entertainment on show was to watch the girls applying their makeup.

But first the bar. It is an upmarket aircon venue featuring a long and attractive bar complete with bartenders practising bottle juggling. There is a live band and coyote dancing.

The hostesses are way above average in looks but seem to want their customers to be similarly well above average in looks.

Us not so hansum men were treated like untouchables with a 1 metre exclusion zone that the girls would swerve wound to avoid even seeming to approach you.

This bar needs bouncers on the door to vet the customers as in some of the wannabe upmarket bars in farangland. If you weren't quite up to expectation they could point out some feeble excuse like jeans not allowed. Then the bar would not have to put up with riff raff and the unwelcome customers would not have their time wasted.

But if you really are a hansum you may well get to enjoy some top totty.

  Review from Dave, April 2008: Favourite

On my recent trip I went to the Intira Bar on Second Rd near Soi 2. Lots of attractive girls here who don't hassle you for drinks but who respond when approached. It was one of my favourite bars at this end of town.

  Review From Pattaya Secrets, May 2006: Fantastically Loud music

I go to this bar quite often during my trips. There some nice girls, although the stunners usually man the reception area until late after which they look to be bar-fined. There is a huge TV screen for football etc. One down-side is that the music is played at a fantastically loud level. Another thing is that the beer is sometimes served frozen - i.e. too cold.

  From Initiar Bar, March 2006: Warm Welcome

The Intira Bar has 28 beautiful girls aged from 18 to 23 years old, all ready and willing to make your visit here memorable.

  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.

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.

 King Kong Beer Bar

Previously noted for blow jobs at the bar but these seem to have been forced into short time rooms (before 10pm at least). It is not a BJ bar in the classic sense with the cut-out below the bar and the milking stool for the girl.

  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.

  Review March 2006: Sexy, Friendly & Possessive

One place in particular that I visited was the “Kiss Kool” club in Soi 6. The girls there VERY sexy and friendly, much like all of the girls in Pattaya Beach. The only real draw back that I noticed is that if you spend too much time with one girl, they tend to get really possessive.

 Review February 2006: Gone Going GoGo

I heard about renovations to the bar but it took me ages to get round to a visit.

The bar has installed attractive large sofa seating surrounding a low stage for dancing. The stage offers straps for the dancers rather than poles.

But there was notable absence though, there were no dancers. I was informed that the bar recently flirted with dancing girls but soon ended the experiment. This failure was probably something to do with the complete lack of publicity and signage for the dancing.

One hangover though, the girls think they are still gogo dancers when it comes to short times fees as they ask for 1000 Baht + room.

  Review June 2006: Fire Alarm

Dragged in by a cutie but forced out by ridiculously loud fire alarm music. I was the only customer in the bar and the girl was hardly an expert English speaker. What is the point of music that appeals to the girls more than the customers and played at such volume that makes even 'where you come from' impossible to understand.

Our only meaning full conversation revolved around the 'romantic decor' (a few plastic flowering trees) and the total lack of customers. I helpfully made a few suggestions as to why and then added to the bar's woes by quickly moving on to find a quieter place for a romantic chat.

  Review June 2006: Two Month Wonder

Another Soi 6 bar that has extensive facilities for pole dancing. The bar has a fair number of sofas surrounding a 3 pole dancing stage. It seems that dancing is on customer demand rather than a regular event though. The decor is ok but they could do with losing some of the electric wiring industrial sculptures.

I didn't stay long in the bar as the lady that followed me was a 'two month wonder': She claimed to have been working in bars for two months after a previous factory job and I wondered how she picked up English so well as to be able to read my Pattaya Mail!

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.

The live music starts after nine o'clock and the band was pretty good. Supposedly they were from the Philippines.

The food was good. I had an appetizer sampler tray. I wanted to finish it but couldn't. My lady had som tam and some nibbles off my tray. She liked her food and mine as well.

  Review from Pattaya Chat, June 2006: Wheat Beer

If your looking for a place to find girls then look elsewhere but I enjoyed it in there, there is a fairly good Filipino band and It gets quite busy from about 10pm, they serve Erdinger lager and wheat beer both draught and bottles, the bottles of wheat beer go down a dream but are expensive at 195bht for 500ml.

I'd recommend it as a place to take your girl if your looking to get away from the sleaze for a few hours, I took my girl friend's family in there and they were really impressed and enjoyed it, you get a lot of Germans getting up on the dance floor and so there's plenty to laugh at.

  October 2005:

Nicely decorated. Very quiet on a Monday night but this was attributed to it being the night off for the house band. The replacement band were not really capturing much interest.

Drinks are expensive and are in the rang 100-150 Baht.

Personally I will stick to the more lively music bars of Walking Street.

  News From Pattaya Secrets Jan 2007: Couch's Back

Normal service has been resumed.

  News From Pattaya Secrets Dec 2006: Less Friendly

The bar has dropped the option for downstairs service on the very dark communal couches.

This is apparently in response to recently increased police hassle.

Of course, more private upstairs pleasure is still available.

  January 2006: No Thanks

I Visited the Belgian owned My Friend You Bar. As previously mentioned, it takes your eyes 20 minutes or so to get used to the total blackout.

ST room and shower worse than YMCA doss and the rooms are on the 3rd. floor - oldies need mountaineering gear.

Do not let your wallet out of your sight- take it with you in the shower. 800 Baht pays for room + lady. Pay the bar 300 Baht first and 500 Baht the lady after.

Mainly middle-aged female choice + 1 ladyboy.

This is a "no thanks" bar for me.

  December 2005: Lucrative

There are 3 bays each with 3 small sofas. The ambient lighting is unsurprisingly near darkness. There is no time for small talk here. The girls like to get straight to work on their job.

I think the impatience in getting on with the job is based on the steady stream of customers. All the sofas were taken on my visit, and at 800 baht a blow, it must be one of the most lucrative bars in Pattaya

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.

 Review from Richard, June 2008: The Black Hole

Amongst a group of expats we have named the bar THE BLACK HOLE.

We have been using the place for a number of years as an early afternoon drinking HOLE and entertainment centre.

I even have a poolside room in the welkom complex for a short 2 week stay every 6 months and it really is a most welcoming place for the middle aged chap.

Based in north Pattaya it is well away from the main areas but soi 2 and 6 make it hard to venture away from this well appointed area.

  Review July 2007: Lay Off Will You!

I was struggling to find an aircon bar in the area and stopped by more in need of a cool beer than a hot lady. So I didn't make a selection at the door.

I was followed in by a well presented but somewhat older lady who didn't really fire my enthusiasm. She went immediately into angling for  short time but was polite and courteous and not unduly pushy. Fair enough, no problem and she quickly drifted off.

Her place was immediately filled by an aging and drunk bar lady who was a total pest. She would not heed a polite suggestion to be left alone. I had a few words with service staff who were not the slightest bit interested in a discomfited customer.

It was surely the most unpleasant surroundings for a beer that I have endured for a long time in Pattaya.

Draught beer was 55 Baht.

  From Pattaya Secrets, April 2006: Well Seasoned

I know it can be hard/impossible to find and 8, 9 or 10 in Welkom Bar. Sometimes even a 7. But the girls are seasoned pros and there is an okay variety in body types. They got old, young, short, tall, fat, skinny, big and small asses, fake and natural tits. The selection can be limited right after they open the door, but after 2 pm the place is up and running. Can even get damn crowded later in the afternoon.

It seemed to me that a few of the rooms had fresh coat of paint and some new furniture, but others still had the grotty feel and molded smell. But I am used to it by now. 300 for the room and 700 for the girls. You can present pretty much any kind of fantasy in this place, they have heard it all before. In my opinion the Pattaya version of Eden Club.

  October 2005:

Plenty of girls on hand for all tastes. I spoke to some who were more than happy for a friendly chat/fondle and some who had a 2 word vocabulary of "go room". The beer garden is well appreciated though as the inside bar is used as a smoking room (tobacco that is). I had the impression it was mandatory to light up there.

  September 2005:

Crowded on weekends with Euro-Boozers wanting a Heiniken and a fondle. Never had any problems with the management or ladies - of which I would recommend Pompui Nok, Knockers Daew and Skinny Gaew. Room rate 200 Baht. Lady ~ 7-800 Baht - low/high season

I have spent quite a few hours here since Noi is a friend of my (former) girl friend. Noi and her husband (English guy) has always been a good host in the bar and they have quite a few good looking girls here.

There is a pool table in the back and a big screen TV where they show most football matches and formula 1.

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 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.
