Agreed, overcooked bland food, Malaysian Guiness at 5x US grocery store prices, and almost always a sausage party at the bar. 2

Plenty of failing businesses with too much space along Suk. The Londoner became a 7-11, Jools in Nana became a 7-11. Very sad state of affairs.
n00dle Posted May 31, 2020 Posted May 31, 2020 When i return to a bar for my first beer after this whole nonsense it will not be the Londoner.

Bangkok is an expensive city. My wife and I visit BKK at least four times a year [this year being an exception] but prefer a more central location. The Londoner is too far out for a pint of beer and food for our brief stays but it does look impressive and the food looks good and reasonably priced, as compared to similar establishments in BKK. I agree that by western standards pubs in BKK aren't cheap but I see them as a place to rest weary feet, have a drink or two, maybe food and a toilet break. Quite convenient establishments. 1

I can accept the no swearing in a pub, I can live with the no smoking in a pub, and certainly acceptable with no fighting. But pubs just have a strange atmosphere to me if they don't serve beer. Yep. It's a bit like sitting in a car that has no engine and making vrooom vrooom noises. 1 2

I'll go slowly for you - the suggestion (joke) was that you have two pubs, let's call them pub A and pub B. To comply with the take away only restriction, the people drinking in pub A buy their beers in pub B, whilst those drinking in pub B buy their beer in pub A. Now do you understand the post? . 1 1

smutcakes Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Used to love the Londoner when it was located on Soi 33, was in there probably 2-3 times a week, great food. Many a great night and lots of weird and normal people met. Have not been since its moved to such an inconvenient location. I realize that it is probably more convenient for some. Lovely little reminisce about that. Probably better for my health and constitution that it has moved! 1

I understood it before you tried to assist me. Thanks anyway. Now can you understand this?... I realise that he could not really have meant what he was suggesting but some people may have. For the benefit of those who did think that it was a great idea I was suggesting that it wasn't because (a) no right-minded bar owner would let 'customers' drink alcohol bought elsewhere and brought into his bar and (b) consuming alcohol on the premises is illegal currently regardless of where it was bought. Now do you understand? 1

ChipButty Posted June 1, 2020 Author Posted June 1, 2020 The Huntsman pub in the Landmark hotel was always good, good band and I only lived around the corner on Soi 2 walk past the car park at the Nana hotel and get molested

Never saw that coming ???? And don't get too excited. The Londoner CANNOT serve you takeaway brew pub draft. I assume they'll offer the usual brands in a bottle or can. In answer to a question on the pub FB page, the pub spokesman said: ". . . sorry man! Unfortunately we won't have draught beer, as illegal for us to sell our own beer off-site and the other draught we won't sell enough to open a keg." Going there was already borderline for me but if there's no pub-brewed beer, then there's no point to go all the way out to Phatthanakan for a common beer.

Big fan of both. I see them working on the Beer House every day and seems like they are getting ready for the big reopen. Old English pub looks dead, is it definitely going to reopen? They are paying HUGE rents there 1

Addendum I just read on their Facebook : "Alcohol to take away only" I don't see the point. If they are only selling bottles to take away just go and buy them in a 7-Eleven or have them in your fridge at home anyway. I am dying for a pint just as much as the next man, and I would normally drink in the Ekkamai Beer House maybe once a week, but going in there to buy beer to take away?? I'll wait for the full opening thank you. 1

I will wait till I can have an alcohol drink with my meal, or/and enjoy one or more at a pub. At the DarkSide of Pattaya now; 3 places I know where I can have a beer in a coffee/tee mug. Ok, but not really the same without a proper glass, and the ambience.
