Jools same owner? The big fella? I doubt it very much. Didn't know they had relocated just thought they closed down

The 'big fella' sold it a while back, maybe 8, 10 years?

Where CITIBANK complex now stands was a kind of muddy bar area, separate from Soi Cowboy.  B52 and Lolita's had their original bars there along with several others.  Lolita's now on Soi 8 was "Wildcats" at that time: same theme.  B52 moved to soi 22 after development of Citibank began.

EDIT:  Was what is now Lolita's off soi-8 "Wildcats" or "AlleyCats"????  Anybody remember?

I think that it was Alley Cats. I am sure that B52 developed from Wild Country, certainly some of the girls were the same. The first time I saw it was in Washington Square (WS) close to Taffy's. This was after the side of WS with Silver Dollar and others had been knocked down but there were still some bars open on the other side with access from Soi 22. They then moved to the Queens park bar complex and are now in a small soi off Soi 22.  I think!!!!

how about Wongs, on Ngam Dupli? Was still there and very unchanged a couple of months ago when I passed it. Very "old Bangkok".

Or Jack's Bar on the river near the ShangriLa - never changes.

Good call on Jack's1 Wongs I do not know although I have heard of it.
