Naklua Road

Beer bar & restaurant

 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 Malcolm, January 2013: Always a good selection of girls

I stayed at the Barracuda Bar, Naklua Road for my last 8 days. The rooms are good. Only downside is the music from the bar which can go on till 3am some nights. No good if you retire early.

A standard room is 700B. They do have a VIP room at 850B which has all new furniture and personal gold package True cable box.

The bar is always busy later in the afternoon and in the evening. Tony the UK owner and his Thai wife host parties regularly. Happy hour Singha 55B and 70B in the evening. Lady drinks are a very reasonable 95B. Always a good selection of girls there, most of them very pretty. I counted 16 girls on the Friday when there was a party on. They have stopped serving food but you can order from nearby restaurants.

  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!

  Review from Andrew January 2012: Monkeying Around

I'm in the oil game, 4 on, 4 off, guess where I spend my 4 off? What can I say, UK is pants, full stop.

At the start of my little trips to Pattaya, I usual stay 3 day in soi 7/8. Anyway the soi 7/8 debauchery that follows usually gets my hormone build up out the way, I can then settle down to the quiet life in Naklua. Armchair, flat cap and pipe, NOT...

The Drum and Monkey is my drinking hole of choice. Niall has taken over the bar for a couple of years now, and all I can say what a great job he's done. He's got the balance just right on both sides of the bar...

Ohh he also has fine Harem of lovely ladies, who will always welcome you with a friendly smile. If you've come for a bit of female Thai company, you could do worse...

I try not to fiddle about with the ladies from this bar, as I don't like to be seen as a complete wretch, mixing business with pleasure and all that stuff. But to be honest, the wall has been known to crumble occasionally...

I like to use the Monkey Bar for a good bevy, the beer is as cheap as you will get anywhere. There is the Irish bar next door, Ryan's bar, which I may add is excellent, the same as Eor's, I am always made to feel very welcome in both establishments.

But I'm like a homing pigeon, always return to the Monkey bar The Drum and monkey do a fine breakfast at a very agreeable price, the full monty has always been too much for me, as I am a usually a bitty delicate in the mornings, well that's rubbish, early afternoons.

Has Niall filled Badgers boots? yip I think so...... Niall's turned out to be a good friend, he always organizes a little away days over to the darkside which is always good for beaver spotting, this usually entails a 1 PM start. Visiting 4 or 5 establishments, including the Black peril, and my personal Favorite, the Pussy Cat Club. Finishing of back at the Monkey bar, a bitty worse for wear.

Did Badger return, yip seen him a couple of trips ago.... He's doing just fine.....

  News from August 2009: The Monkey Returns

The bar has now re-opened under a new management team Now run by a team of Mick fro England, Laong from Thailand and Niall from Ireland.

  News from Andrew, July 2009: The old classic story

Every time I visit Pattaya I always go to this bar and always have a top night.

Badger would always be there, the life and sole of the place. He seemed to have the balance just right between running the bar in the back ground, whilst being a gent with the customers. Sure old Badger would take a drink off a Falang, but he was not slow in returning it.

But last week he told me that he had been stiffed by his girlfriend and has just had to return to England.

So he's sold the bar to an English fella who's redeveloping the place. It will take 3 weeks before re-opening.

So all I can say is that Badger will be sorely missed in Naklua road, Pattaya.

Will Badger be back? I think so...

Cocktail bar

  Review from Pattaya Addicts, Feb 2007: Fantastic Cocktails

Its like a large (semi-permanant) stall but with seating area overlooking the roundabout. Not great but actually quite tranquil.

He mixed me two fantastic cocktails - one that wasn't on his list but was still perfect. Most have 3 liquor shots so at 99 baht they are good value. They are also much larger than you would expect in my previous experiences with cocktails.

You get the works - shaking at your table etc.

It takes a lot to impress me here but this really did.

  Review by Malcolm January 2013: Very Nice Girls

The VIP Bar Centre on Naklua Road is opposite side to the Barracuda Bar, about 20 yards up. They are all open bars with about another dozen bars behind.

The Nice Bar isn't the cheapest with Singha at 90B but it has some very nice girls dancing on podium and the bar wearing extremely short skirts.

  Review June 2006: Lonely on the Football Field

I popped in for an England World Cup match, but in all honesty I prefer the company of girls to that of a bunch of blokes watching TV.

They had a pretty looking girl serving free chips with ketchup but she did not seem the slightest bit interested in a drink or chat so I hastily moved on.

Seemed a pleasant bar though and there were a fair few regulars enjoying the match together.

Beer bar with aircon

 Review May 2006: Chin Chin Girls

A pleasant and German run aircon bar which has established a goodly amount of regulars. The decor and seating etc are good, there's even a nice painting depicting the housewife stripping game show: Tutti Frutti. The good decor extends to the toilets which are clean and well kept.

There were some very pleasant girls on hand during my visit. One even a good grasp of English and was well read enough to make for a very enjoyable evening of conversation... and more.

Bar fine 200 Baht, bottled beer around 60 Baht and lady drinks at 95 Baht.

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
