Hopefully the new Beerfest Brewery is up to the standard I experienced in Singapore. Great for a long lunch. Robin Hood has been there less than 2 years. Cheaper and better food is to be had at various Soi 13 and 2nd Road bars. No mithering from the ladies is its only plus. I like Avenue for Major cinemas - the best in Pattaya.

No, it's been there a lot longer than that, may have had another name before the Retox group bought it a couple of years ago. Enjoyed a brief resurgence under Retox, due to some slick marketing, but they sold it several months ago to an Indian guy and it has died again.

Yes a mall environment isn't really suitable for a pissup. Too many bright lights. Still, if they got red meat at Arno's and beer at Beerfest, one could get properly topped up while letting the rugrats play mall. A small silver lining.

Really , Robin Hood has always been busy when I visited. One of the most popular expat places in town . Good quality food , their 199 baht roast is famous.

Many people do not see the place and I think too lazy to go to the second floor. Too bad it is very nice inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckyluke Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 T 21 in Pattaya with, it seems, the sell of alcoholic beverages ( BeerFest Brewery). A novelty, nothing like that in Bangkok and Korat. Or than B. Browery will only sell alcoholic drinks with a meal. Will known soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 I hope T21 in Pattaya is not like MBK in BKK, but maybe like T21 in BKK, a much better mall in my opinion. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The building has been there since the Avenue opened but it has had many different tenants/names. Originally it was Shenanigans, then it was something like Family Pub, then an American style wings/ribs place, then it was taken on by Retox a couple of years ago as mentioned and renamed RH, and lately it has changed hands but retained the name as mentioned. And those are only the incarnations that I can remember: there may have been more. Personally I like the Sunday lunch there and that always seems to be busy enough. Most of the Avenue has the kiss of death on it as far as I can see - just count the number of empty/failed units there - and the opening of T21 can only be another nail in the coffin.

People have been saying that about Avenue/Royal since Central opened and both are still very much alive. Carrying costs in Thailand are almost nothing and most of these buildings are owned by rich families/organizations with deep pockets. So it doesn't matter if they are half empty with low traffic.

That's my point. The Avenue is not alive: it's half-dead. Mostly failing, failed or empty units with just a tiny few that seem to be even slightly popular. It has the kiss of death on it in that most things that start up there die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a zombie since the start, Thais melt outdoors without the AC so it was doomed. I use it for the car park which is accessible from the back, as well as some more obscrure food ingredients from Villa. The courtyard with the subgrade band and "food carts" combined with a "beer garden" does look enticing though, if on a budget. I think I prefer it to Central/T21.

And yet it continues to live on. Businesses opening/closing/moving in Thailand is just a fact of life. Unlike in the west, I believe the buildings themselves don't cost anything or almost nothing to maintain once they are built. No property taxes etc. So they almost always manage to stick around one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapd Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Friend of mine walked inside today and was able to walk around and take some pictures. We thought it was a soft opening but turns out they just thought he was someone who belonged there for whatever reason...lol. I guess there were lots of people walking around but nothing was officially opened. I saw the ad for foodland saying it started on Oct 18 but I guess that's just a generic ad for all the stores.

JimmyTheMook Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Wonder how crowded this place will be Friday the 19th, or will the masses be down for the weekend from Bkk? I'm looking forward the foodcourt as isn't that where most of the malls make their sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So today's the day. Pretty soon we can look forward to first hand accounts of the breathtaking excitement of the new mall. I don't have plans yet on when to first go. Maybe today. Maybe wait a week. As far as trying actual restaurants, going to places when they first open often isn't a good test of a place. They've got stuff to work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because I dont find it exciting doesnt mean I'm not interested. I am in fact very interested in as much as having a new T21 at the north of Pattaya may mean that the regular weekend traffic jam outside both sides of Central may diminish. I live south of Pattaya so anything that moves the traffic north is good for me. And the last I heard a touch of humour in the form of sarcasm is not prohibited on here.
