-5° Supperclub

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

From 6pm

www.amari.com

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 Pattaya Secrets, Jan 2008: Electro/Funky

I went to this fantastic bar the weekend. The music, mixed by a live DJ is really electro/funky and the ambience is truly unique for Pattaya.

It felt very Japanese in as far as you take off your shoes and chill out on these really comfortable big white sofa’s. The whole room is bright white but the special design of lighting ensures that the colours change every few minutes.

A great place to take a special girl, I wouldn’t recommend you go with your mates. The drinks are pricey, B120++ for a small bottle of Heineken, but don’t be put off by that, its truly worth a visit.

  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...

New beer bar for August 2007

  Review from connections of Two Donnas, March 2008: Very Welcoming

The two partners are Joy and Dow who are at the bar every day and night, they will sit down and introduce themselves to all new customers and are not shy about buying a drink (or accepting one!!). Both are pretty well known in Jomtien and seem to know everyone that comes in or passes the bar.

No pool table but all the live English Premier League games are shown.

Prices are lower than most bars, (except next door where drinks are almost given away) beer 50-70 baht, shorts pretty cheap and lady drinks are the standard 90 baht.

Loads of girls, 15 at the moment, nothing too stunning, but a few are pretty cute all can talk English, some young some not so young and one Katoey, all the girls are pretty good crack and up for a laugh, especially if you go inside the bar and close the doors.....

The younger cute ones disappear most night before 10.00 so get there early for a better choice

Barfines are the standard 300 baht, no ST rooms but the girls will take you round the corner if you want,

Verdict, nice atmosphere good reasonable priced drinks and a good bunch of girls with two owners who will make you very welcome.

3 Angels Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

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.

Amazing Paradise Bar has a massive stable of girls and flat screen TVs. Not sure which there was more of....

The majority of lookers were pulling punters in from the street and sadly that's what they continued to do once we were in the bar. Company in the bar was provided by a more mature group of ladies. We managed to grab the sofas by the entrance and it was a good vantage point for watching the girls out front and the girls passing by.

Don't want to appear fussy but I would rate only 3 or 4 of the girls as being worthy of my dosh.

  Review from Alex, Nov 2007: A Morning Drink

On my arrival to Pattaya I always make a bee line to Anna Jets.

This bar is consistent and the girls very friendly and always new girls on the scene .

I often enjoy a morning drink there when everywhere else is quiet.

One bit of advice if you find attractive girl don’t hesitate bar fine quickly as turnover is fast. My friend is still lamenting the girl and love of his life he missed. He went back to his hotel to change and on his promised return she was gone. A fine well run watering hole.

Recommended.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets August 2006: Change

Paid bill with a 1000 note by giving the 1000 note to the girl I was about to go with. Next thing I know, I'm getting presented with the bill. I look and say Yeah, ok, take it out of the 1000 and give me my change. Lady looks at me and says you no pay yet.

Even AFTER my girl who works there vouched for me and said yes, I did give her the 1000 baht note, no one made any attempt to give me any change. They tore the bar apart looking for the 1000 note. After about 10 minutes of this, they just gave up and went about their regular business, which is fine, except I still had not gotten about 600 in change. So, I say nicely to the cashier, where is my change? She says, let me explain to you the problem we have, which is we can't find the 1000 note. I say, look, I understand you have a problem, but right now, its your problem, not mine. They grudgingly give me my change.

  Review from Pattaya Chat March 2006: Loud

I think it's already been agreed the rooms are shite but aren't the women in there fit. I went in there 1st time and have been in there a few times since. Never barfined from there though. I probably would barfine a girl from there if the music wasn't so loud and I could ascertain whether the bird speaks English or not.

It's definitely worth a visit if you don't mind profound deafness for the next 3 hours.

  Review from Yellow Board February 2006: Total Madness

Indeed this bar is a regular venue of mine for hiring overnight employees. The double fronted shop style bar has a pool table TV and a few tables set inside the bar which is open to the Soi. It benefits from it's own toilet and is well stocked with girls. Not always stunners but I have had some very good girls from here, one or two I have kept in touch with for a few years. The bar makes an effort with theme evenings where the girl dress in unison, the SKA night late last year was great, total Madness!

  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.

  Review from Pattaya-Live May 2008: Good prices and friendly girls

The girls there are always friendly and enjoy just playing the games and trying to entice a farang to take them home. They are however choosy and the mama does not pressure them to leave with anyone. Good prices and friendly girls what more is there to ask for?

  Review July 2006: Watching Out For Own Goals

I randomly selected the bar for a bit of World Cup viewing. I chatted a while to a friendly Australian but he departed in search of an Australian Rules football match rather than the World Cup.

England were being a little boring so I opted for a bit of people watching. The girls seemed to be enjoying themselves watching the game, chatting or playing the dice game behind the bar. They were a distinctly average crew but there were four decent looking girls that were posted as welcome girls.

I spent some time looking out for some potential customers to walk past and to be 'welcomed in'. I was wondering whether the attractive welcome girls would pair off with the newcomer or whether the newcomer would just be dumped with the average girls behind the bar. (And then he would, no doubt, take one beer and leave pronto).

My theory will have to wait for another day though...there simply were no customers to be seen.  When it started raining cats & dogs I had to abandon the research and return to the strikerless England display.

  News June 2008: Down and Out...Maybe

The predictions were correct and the bar was reported as closed. On the last walk by the sign was on and the door was open. Too early to tell whether the bar would open later.

  Review April 2008: Wasta Bling

I was passing by way too early but I thought I would pop in to take a look anyway.

It was a total disaster with in the first minute of walking in. First of all they had opened the bar before there was any conceivable entertainment. They had not even turned on the music. But I thought I would at least look around and ask the staff about the bar.

Within the first minute, a ladyboy arrived at my table to take my drinks order only to get it wrong. He then thought that he could hang round for a ladyboy drink. His opening conversational gambit was: one drink for me?

Quickly dismissing the unwelcome dancing boy, I asked a service girl about the bar. Apparently it is a disco with some coyote dancing.

The drinks prices are set around the 120-140 baht mark but there is much cheaper happy hour. There are drinks menus on the tables.

The layout of the bar consists of a lounge area with decent seating and then a dancing area with a couple of dancing stages and a prominent stage for the DJ. There were incredibly tacky, wobbling stools dotted around.

Surely the bar will have to improve on the customer experience this early bird received. Otherwise they will just have to rely on the famous brand name to entice a few Pattaya newbies.

  Warning Dec 2006: Check you Bin

The place was busy, and bustling and the waitresses were rushed off their feet, however it appears that almost anyone can order a drink and have it directed to someone else's tab, and if you don't notice, that then becomes your tab.

  February 2006:

The Thai girls really love this place as the band often plays Issan love songs which they really get into. It's certainly not an ear blasting go-go or disco and would probably be best described as a cabaret venue. I really enjoyed my visits here as I could always have a conversation with the the lady I was with, but I must admit to cringing a few times when the resident Thai band attempted a cover version of a well known western song - Their rendition of the Beatles "Hey Jude" is just one memory that comes to mind

  December 2005:

For the older members or for those who like older mature ladies. The music not bad but not load like it should be for a disco. The ladies are performers in the bedroom!!!!

  Summer 2005:

Band starts at 21:00. Rock music with all the Pattaya standards. Hostesses are on hand but most customers are there for the music.

A useful meeting point as it is near the Walking Street arch

The beer is a little on the expensive side presumably to help pay for the band.

I agree with the article on bar 52, it is owned by Kung and her husband Steffano, they are fantastic, good location, I can't use enough superlatives to describe this place.

This is one of my fav bars it is like my local away from home. Towards the 2nd Road end of Soi 8 across from the U2 bar. Again a mixed bag with the girls but is made up for by the friendliness of everyone in the bar. The toilets are shared with the bar next door and are mixed clean but will cost 5 baht.

  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!

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!

The Best Bar

Walking Street

Beer bar opened June 2006, previously Stoney's

  Review by Steve, Feb 2007: Latent Heat of Fusion

Formerly known as ‘Stoney’s’, this bar was sold to a Thai lady in May 2006. This is the same lady who own the other two nondescript bar beers on the corners of the cross formed by the junction of Walking Street with the alleyway leading to Happy-a-GoGo and Living Dolls. Unfortunately, she has managed to work some of that ol’ Thai magic and convert Stoney’s, which was previously a friendly, homely sort of place into yet another nondescript bar beer, complete with a coat of cheap and nasty Jack Daniels gloss black paint and a ‘Jack Lives Here’ sign.

The bar used to have a system with two different categories of ladies working there – the service ladies and the entertainment ladies. The former brought you drinks, while the latter would chat with you in exchange for a lady drink. This system worked very well, and made Stoney’s my favourite watering hole, but it has been abandoned by the new owner in favour of the more usual service-ladies-only system. As long as they are not busy, you can still chat with the waitresses, but you can’t count on their company unless you bar fine them.

Another great feature of Stoney’s was the draft beer served in frozen double-walled glasses, so that the beer actually got colder as you drank it. Perfect for a sweaty tropical evening. Of coursem, they still have draft beer, and they even have a few of the glasses left, but they are kept with the rest of the beer nowadays and so are no longer frozen and thus don’t ‘work’. I’ve tried explaining about the latent heat of fusion to the staff on several occasions, but they just think I’m totally mad now.

The bar also used to have its own toilet, but the new owner quickly did away with this nice facility as it costs money to run of course. So now you have to join the other punters queuing for a pee in the 5 Baht bogs across the way.

When the bar changed hands, they fired all the staff, so all the ladies I knew were scattered to the four corners (literally, one lady ended up in Chiangmai!). I still drop by occasionally for a drink, but it is a shadow of its former self. If you didn’t know it in its heyday though, you would probably think that it is a decent spot for a drink.

  Review by Swanks, Sept 2006: Best Bargain in Patts

Sometimes a bar "Comes into its own" Almost by accident really!

Billion suddenly has been transformed from a 'no hoper' into a very nice and welcoming watering hole! I do suspect it is more by accident than design, but it really has a lot going for it now!

Drinks are not 'rock bottom' but ok! Lady drinks not anywhere near Walking street prices!

But the policy of just charging 500 baht at the bar for girl and room must make them one of the best bargains in Patts! Tip the girl if you want to but it doesn't seem to be expected and the
girls are just as good as anything I have seen on Soi 6!

The whole place has a nice 'Pub' atmosphere and you can enjoy a relaxing drink at the bar and chat to the 'Chinese' owner and mamasan, and stroke her small dog which often sleeps on the counter! The mutt has an uncanny facial resemblance to her but don't tell her I said so!

If it gets on your nerves, sort of, give it a bit of a shove! Just tell mamasan it fell! Lands on all 4 paws like a cat!

I'm going to get the little sod pissed next week! It's sort of taken to me now so it should be a laugh!

Enjoy!

Walking Street: Soi Diamond

Beer bar in the central aisle of Soi Diamond. Celebrated its 30th Anniversary on 8th March 2008

  From BJ3, April 2007: Cold Beer

The bar is on Soi Diamond right on Walking Street. Thip(Tip), the owner is a wonderful lady and runs a very low key operation.

The beer is always cold, fairly priced, and the ladies are very friendly and never hound you for lady drinks.

BJ's Beach Club

Thappraya Road
Jomtien (near beach)

Beer bar opened 30th October 2007

  News Oct 2006: New

There's  a new bar on Thappraya Road a few paces from Dong Tan police station.

The Beach Club is owned by the same individual that owns BJ3, Lucky Star, and a host of other bars and GoGo's. It is managed by Mike.

The Beach Club is an open air bar with friendly staff, very friendly prices and good music played at a reasonable volume.

The theme of the bar is unique and we hope to become the home of those looking for something just a little different than the normal beer bar.

Daily drink specials, free wireless internet, and pool tables, will round out the fun at the Beach Club.

  Review from OutForABeer, May 2007: Doesn't Care

This is a very large bar where the girls know how to have fun. Open very early to very late.

  From David, March 2006: Off Course

Black Pearl bar has only six mediocre lassies left and 3-5 customers per day - the closing for one year of Siam Country Club Golf Course has not helped. Decor and management is Thai-style. Room is 200 Baht a shot, and the "girls" don't warrant much more than that.
Another one to avoid

  From Pattaya Talk, February 2006: Best Seen in the Dark

Very large open bar yet very dark inside. Girls get naked and would probably do whatever you tell them. Last time I visited they weren't so pretty though, there is a house for short time

Off Siam Country Club Road (7+km from turn off from Suhkumvit)

Short time bar

Travel up Soi Siam for approx 7 kms, you will go past a golf driving range on the left. Take your first left after this driving range (cross roads), follow this road right to the end and turn right, BP2 is approx 50/100 yards on your right.

  Review June 2008: No Kisses

I drifted past the girls out the outside beer bar and smiled at an attractive girl. Unfortunately my selection was trumped by a senior lady who was definitely not to my spec.

I asked if she would mind sending in a younger girl and I think she took umbrage. Then just as storybook characters warn you to take care of what you wish for, my replacement girl was young and pretty but totally uncommunicative. Proved a total waste of time and there will be another age before I visit again.

 Review from Pattaya Addicts Jan 2008: Glass and Mirrors

Very nice bar - all glass and mirrors and a good pool table. Most of the girls though are not exactly top notch. There is one real stunner but she is often rather umm...... busy. Worth a try though - if you see her you will know the one I mean.

  Review Sep 2007: Snubbed

The bar has now created a beer bar immediately outside of the main aircon bar. But in need of the aircon I skipped past the girls and a reasonably attractive girl followed me in.

The bar is large but was only catering to 4 stalwarts at the centre bar.

My hostess was totally not interested in my attempts at conversation and she eventually drifted off out of boredom to rejoin her mates outside.

I finished my beer and left pronto...noting to avoid this unfriendly bar for the foreseeable future.

  January 2005:

Re-opened after renovation

  November 2005:

Choose your lady carefully in this bar ! The skinny, incompetent wreck of a "girl" I went upstairs with must have lifted some grey ones from my meagre wallet.

The sole upstairs room is very grotty, next to a building site and the stairs to it are almost vertical. The shower is off the short time room and is also crappy.

If you insist on a visit - TAKE YOUR WALLET with you into the shower room. Better still - there are many other cleaner and cheaper places around than this German run bar.

Music bar. If you have only one night in Pattaya to catch a band, then this is the bar.

Drinks are 140 Baht for spirits and 95 Baht for soft drinks. There is a happy hour until 10pm with draft beer at 50 Baht and other drinks at 100 Baht.

  News from Blues Factory, August 2008: On the Lam

Lam Morrison has returned to The Blues Factory

You can see Lam Morrison from midnight on Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 1230am Fri, Sat and Sundays nights.

  News from Blues Factory, April 2007: Nung

Blues Factory present a new rock band which has a new guitarist called Nung previously from The Rock Pub in BKK and he is joined by Lam Morrisons original band.

  News from Stickman, August 2006: I'm Alright Jack

If you like Jack or Pepe you’ll love the Blues Factory on Mondays and Wednesdays. The Walking Street bar has two new promotional nights thanks to a deal Dave made with his liquor suppliers.

Monday will be "Pepe Lopez Ladies Night" night with Pepe Lopez Tequila at 1,200 baht per bottle or 50 baht a shot. As it's also Ladies Night, there are lucky number draws with various prizes including Pepe Lopez stuff and a top prize of Thai Gold. Music by The Blues Machine starts at 9:30 PM.

Wednesdays are "Jack Daniels Rock Night" with Lam Morrison; bottles of Jack at 1,500 baht (including a JD t-shirt) and Jack Daniels with mixers at 100 baht all night.

  Autumn 2005: Fine Bands

First and foremost this is a music bar hosting two very fine house bands. First up is Snowman, Mary & The Blues Machine. They play blues, rock and pop standards from the last few decades. The second set is from Lam Morrison and the accent is then on rock. Again well worth the price of a beer. (The Blues Machine takes Wednesday off and Lam takes Monday off)

There are hostesses on hand for those that prefer to enjoy their music in company. But there is no hassle if you are there purely for the music.

However expect the toilet jockey to hassle you for a tip. Why on earth do bars employ those who do nothing but put people off the bar?

Happy hour drinks until 10pm. Expensive thereafter, 130 Baht for bottled Heineken. (Hopefully it is expensive so that the bands can be paid a deservedly good fee). 135 Baht for brand name mixers.

Previously there was a dance floor but this has been replaced by tables and seating to avoid being classed as a dance club which then attracts higher drinks taxes.

  Review from Pattaya Today: Night March, April 2006: Victoria Bitter

The bar is owned and run by Aussies. The girls are a mixed bag, but most are friendly and would suit most tastes.

There are two free pool tables for customers to use. The music is brilliant, from a time prior to the advent of house/trance/techno/hip hop.

60 Baht standard bottled beers, soft drinks 40 Baht, spirits 80 Baht. Imported Fosters & Victoria Bitter are available

  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.

Shophouse bar

Bristol Music Bar

Jomtien Soi 6

Shophouse bar with live music, no hostesses

  From the bar, Feb 2006: Jamming

The Bristol Music Bar is situated in a quiet Soi on Jomtien Beach Road, It’s main attraction is hosting a Jamming Session each and every Sunday from 7:00pm where anybody can bring an instrument and have a Jam with like minded musicians. The Bar supports the Camillian Society based in Rayong who care for children with HIV and Aids and so far since September 2006 have raised over 120,000 Baht.

The Bar, during the week is where a visitor or Expat can come and relax without the Hassle associated with other bars as they do not employ “Ladies” to take care of you. Come and have a game of chess / backgammon and listen to some of their 200 music DVD’s and or watch major sports events with their in house satellite system supported by 4 TV’s around the bar.

Beer Chang is sold at 45 Baht. This bar is a great place to go to if you would just like to chat and not be hassled by the usual interruptions, not to mention listening to great live music on a Sunday night.

Short time bar now with coyote dancers.

  Review, thanks to PGGG, Jan 2008: Prices

Lady drinks are 75 Baht. Barfines are 400 Baht for hostesses and 500 Baht for coyotee dancers with an additional 75 Baht if no lady drinks has been bought.

I hear the Coyotes are 800 Baht up until 10pm, as no dancers mean the customers don't stay in the bar as long, which is a fair view by the management to protect their beer sales.

Receptionists BF is 600 Baht IF THEY GO OUT, which most do not!

The girls rates are more gogo than beer bar.

Note that there are convenient ST rooms and the price is included in the ST barfine (which is rarely mentioned, as they want to hit you for the LT rate and have the evening off. It also helps them meet their "Off" target). If you pay the ST rate the girl has to return to the bar when you are done.

  Review by polleke, Oct 2007: Lots of girls

Popped in on a Wednesday evening and was welcomed by 3 girls outside. Inside there were lots of girls most of them pretty to very pretty. 11 of them dance on a small floor. this are the most prettiest ones.

I had a very good time that night. Don't know exactly on the drinking prices because I got a bit carried away for being my first night of a 2 week stay in Patts.

Even bought a lady drink for 1 of the 4!! mamasans.

Barfined a dancing lady for 500 Baht (Hostesses are 400) and 2000 Baht LT.

Will pop in again next week again!

  Review from Pattaya Chat, March 2006: Wai Popular

It's a covered-on-top beer bar with a ton of girls working there, and most people can find someone to their liking. It's also a hang out for many expats and veterans of Pattaya. It seems to be one of those places that punters like a lot or do not like at all.

As you walk in it's customary for their girls near the entrance to wai you with their hands. They have some girls who are dancers...the bar has 3 tiny stages with one pole per stage that 2 girls at a time can dance at. Some of the girls are dancers and get paid a little extra by the bar, most do not get up and dance. They don't use go-go outfits, but each girl dresses in what they want, although they must have been told to dress on the sexy side... They also have a pool table in the back.

Their bar fines were based on what time of the evening you paid bar....the early time would result in a larger bar fine, late at night it's less. Somewhere in the 250-500 baht range on a graduated scale. Also it would depend on if you were taking her short time or long time. These girls don't command Go-Go-girl prices, but more along the standard price (maybe a bit higher) for short time and long time.

65 Baht for a bottled beer. Girls were asking 1000 Baht short time, 1500 Baht long time.

  Autumn 2005: use-by date

The bar is lively and pleasant enough but the ST rooms double as night-time accommodation for the ladies - I estimated five to a room. They are very tacky smell of dried smoked squid, tiger balsam , chillies and cheap scent.

As you can see from their website, many of the "girls" are way past their use-by date.

The Bullring Bar

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

Short time bar with expensive lady drinks at 140 Baht

  Review July 2008: Bullshit

Lured in by a suitably good looking girl, but then things went downhill a bit. The girl was a little demure but was friendly enough.

I ordered a lady drink and then noticed that the bin hadn't yet appeared at my table for my beer. The lady brought back her drink but still no bin. I asked the girl to bring the bin and had a look. The Thai whiskey & coke lady drink was a whopping 140 Baht. No wonder they weren't keen on showing the bill.

I asked the girl and she reckoned that she will only receive 20 Baht of the 140.

Somehow put me off the business in hand and I went in search of another bar more deserving of my trade. A bit of a shame as I didn't find another girl as deserving of my trade.

  Review May 2008: Friendly Cows?

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

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

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

  Review April 2007: No Bull

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

My drinking companion reckoned that the bar was Thai owned.

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

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

  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?

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 whe
