Congrats.???? Would suggest meeting up at Bodega for a few cold ones, but I'm off to Bangkok on 6th, then Udon on 10th and Chiang Mai 17th. Back in Patts sometime towards the end of January.

This seems to have been premature unfortunately.  Nothing has come from the official side.  I'm hoping that so many open that they can't be closed.  ????

Did the Hopf, or Hopbrauhouse on soi 13 and beach road survive? Did Hooters?

There are a strict set of rules, which are only very loosely enforced, depending on location, probably bribes, among myriad other reasons. These bars are supposed to be licensed restaurants with SHA approval. Also billiards are not permitted. 

 

I've been to numerous of these "restaurants" which have no food but plenty of cold beer...which is all I'm there for! Also last week many actual restaurants serving alcohol had very active pool tables day and night. This week, the ones around me now have those tables covered and are totally inactive.

Pomeree guesthouse and that hotel on corner of buakhao\diana both did large beers, Pomeree now open the other one not yet

I loved the one on corner of bukcow/Diana which had the spaghetti and aussie burger stands. Saw lots drinking the large beers but couldn't do it myself as I like my beers ice cold until empty ????

Just gotta suck 'em down faster! ???? 

 

Know most think it beer drinking sacrilege, but enjoy my Thai swill with ice. ONLY Thai beer tho. Definitely not with a good Stout or Craft or even a Beer Lao Dark! ????

You know what, I've never had a less than cold beer there, some are iced up to start with and don't last long. Many people drinking in Bodega when i passed earlier
