Ahhh, TQ, the joys of paying waaayyyy to much for a beer, I'll leave that place to the tourist that don't know any better.

I had the same thought the last time I went and was charged 160 for a beer.

I have never been a go-go regular and it's not too many years since I was there previously but it was not close to that price then. 

But I see your point, from comments on here go go prices can often be at that level. 

 

One thing I did notice was that many were drinking spirits, perhaps they do discounted prices on them.

i don't know, but i just know two people in the photo.

From their homepage I agree with

"clubby, retro dive atmosphere" 

it is a comfortable drinking gaff.

All gogo bars charge at least that, even iBar.

Yes all shut on April 2021, will be 10 months since it was open.

Is this reopening still under ownership of Woody and Bob. I recall they had a GoFundme last year - i just checked it again when i seen this post - they raised near 20k. 

TQ back open yet?

Nah, Sapphire was 80 baht large draft, Windmill same for medium beer, Dollhouse, Beavers, Electric Blue 110 baht, plus others

If it's 160 baht beers as posted above they can go dream...won't do that for the girl shuffle that's called dancing there

The photo is listed on stick man's site under 'Tony at the Memphis Queen'.

Here is a photo from the same index of the Memphis queen, went to the TQ in the late 80's and the photo on this thread doesn't look like any part of the bar i can remember. But cant remember much from those days......

 

 

Noice!

I don't know the venue, but would put the photo of the ladies around the mid 90s

but could be wrong

Nothing better to do, so just googled a little and came across this. Article about a guy called Tony Douglas who opened up the Mississippi Queen and Memphis queen in Patpong, and later the Tahitian Queen which he later sold on to the current owners.

 

So it seems that photo is not the TQ after all, http://www.bangkokeyes.com/2013dec01.html

 

A little history....

Woody has bailed out.

Think it is now just Bob.
