Beer garden soi 7

[Blue bruce]

Commenting on a thread from last week concerning bulldozing the beer garden soi 7 .

Well good news as I was there last nite and the beer garden  was open and is the same great place to hang out as always. 

 

I asked a few of the patrons if they heard anything about the beer garden  closing and being torn.  Nobody heard a word which is good news. I always felt comfortable at the old beer garden. 

 

Cheap beer, not expensive ladies and good farang conversation

Is that on soi 7 or 7-1 or where exactly?   I haven't been there in years tried to find it & is the thermae still open as well?     

[melvinmelvin]

Beergarden is soi 7 about 150 meters from sukh

 

Thermae is chai sukh downstairs close to soi 15

[natway09]

We have been hearing it was to close for over 10 years.

I think the landowners use it as a ploy when time for rent increases come up.

One day the operators will say, enuf is enuf & poof it will go!!!

It's a  dump and full of slappers who just want to rip you off. Avoid it is my advise. Not a nice place.

[khunano]

Was there Tuesday night, not busy at all, few punters, plenty of hookers though....

Most of them Are there in person and on thai friendly pretending to be good girls. So much easier before[emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]

Not a patch on what it was like in the early 80,s, but still a good place to hang out and the food is excellent. I for one am addicted to the pickled red cabbage they dish up with some of the meals :)

You have a better place to go to in the area at Lunchtime and afternoon?

 

With easy meeting Falangs and Expats, willing ladies, fun music - oldies, decent food and ice cold beer?

 

Always something to see and look at - as time goes by - easy going place.

The bar on soi 7.1 was named Bangkok Beat a little more upper class than soi 7 beer garden but has closed and converted into a restaurant with pool tables..

 

Soi 7 beer garden is still alive and kicking. Great old bar.

Sorry that -  as only   -LIVE IS LIFE-

Might have been better to ask the staff rather than rely on barstool gossip. Not that you could expect a truthful answer from a Thai. Their attitude is to give you an answer that would make you feel good, so they'd tell you it wasn't closing even if the demolition lorries were waiting outside 

[ALFREDO]

Sorry, gone

The Biergarden is definitely still going. At any given day/evening, you could have a great time. I sure have. I have heard that it is not if but when it closes. the entire area is being developed for condos/office buildings. Most of the soi has already moved out. The only thing I don't like about the place are those awful fans blowing on you. Drives me crazy.

They only lie to the smelly guys who don't brush their teeth and wear singlets, dirty shorts and flip flops the rest of us are used to getting the truth from Thai people all the time.

Went in there a few days ago.  Looked like the geriatric bus had stopped by and dropped off it's cargo.

A larger than usual number of 'girls' in their 40's and a well-represented number of ladyboys.

Better if I had come close to the end of the month when the place is full of chamber maids and office working girls needing to supplement their rent.

In all my time in LOS the best girl I ever met was an FL in the Beergarden . I stayed with her for 3 happy years , she ran a hair salon all day and was in Soi 7 every possible night paying for a good education for her daughter and of course sending money north to a do little family. It’s sad to hear you say that. Now the kip up the road Themae, with it’s japanese clientele, is another story . So many happy memories of the Beergarden.

Beer Garden, spent many a night there, went last month on my way in from a trip outside country, some of the same women that were there 10 years ago and still there  -  Thermae, might as well be Little Tokyo or Little Seoul, used to be a place to meet freelancers that weren't necessarily in the trade but needed to supplement their income.  You were just as apt to meet them working in Boots or Robinson's the next day.

It is well documented that many Thai people tell people what they want to hear rather than offer bad news. Quite nice of them, even though it doesn't actually help you much if what they tell you is later found not to be true.
 

So your insulting comments are out of place. Hopefully though it was said in jest.

good god, i can think of many better places to go at any time.

the place fair reeks of failure, desperation and the blinding gaze of aging hookers.

 

and that was 10 years ago.

thermae was starwars bar, didnt fill up until nana closed.

it was a cool bar in the day but never looks inviting these days. Another bar called Garden Bar on Soi 1 I think it is but another sleazy hole. Country Road at the end of Soi Cowboy is great bar with happy hour all day until 9pm. After 9 creep around the corner to a bar same place opens on the street. What out for the hottie that works there, she is as crazy as they come,

[Blue bruce]

Bangkok Barry and Speakeasy Thai  why such negativity. If you don't like the place don't  go.

You should go back.  The place is the same but you are older - you might enjoy it now.

Please show us where I say that I don't like the place. I do, actually, up to a point.

What's not to like about the place?  The beer is reasonably priced, the food is fair "farang-Thai", the girls have better things to do than hassle time-wasters, and given the company around you, you might really be a 'Hamsun man'!

Still wait for your really alternatives -

 

I want - the same or better then in the Beer Garden -

 

"Place to go to in the area in daytime at Lunch and afternoon,

with always, some Falangs and Expats, willing ladies, fun music - oldies from 30+ years ago, decent food

and ice cold beer?

Always something to see and look at - as time goes by - easy going place."

That are real alternatives to the Beer Garden in day and lunch and afternoon time?

 

With always, some Falangs and Expats, willing ladies, fun music - oldies from 30+ years ago,

decent food and ice cold beer?

Always something to see and look at - as time goes by ? In Daytime!?

This is wonderful news.

 

Every comment about it, in the first of the two recent threads discussing it, increased my disappointment that I had not experienced it and possibly would not be able to.

 

Any recommendations for moderate price hotel nearby?

Beergarden is ok during the day/afternoon/early evening. After 9pm be prepared with garlic and crucifix - silver bullets optional. There are some real horrors left after the other girls go to Thermae.

I mistakenly wandered in there at 11pm recently....I still wake up with cold sweats and shaking...after what I witnessed. No man should knowingly expose himself to this.
