Quiet bar in Pattaya

[CanNot]

Hello,

migth be a strange question but I'm looking for a quiet bar to hang out, preferably buakhao area / beach road / second road. 

 

With quiet I mean no live band or music blasting with 120db through the bar. 

 

Any recommendations welcome

Why not go walkabout. If you see one that appeals to you, just give it a try.

Maybe try 5 Star on beach road, near mike shopping mall, good views

Very hard to find a "quiet" bar nowadays,music blaring in the surrounding bars .

 

Does it need to serve alcohol?

Why not air conditioned coffee shop?

I suppose it depends on what you are looking for? Girls? People watching? Etc

Horizon bar at the top of the Hilton would be my suggestion.

I like the open air beer garden at the foot of walking street, oddly enough. Nice to watch the sunset and quiet, at least in the early evening. They do have some MTV on, but it's pretty good music and not overly loud. It's also free of the riff raff staff, pushing for drinks, etc.

Why not try a hotel ... a luxury hotel like the Hilton ... they must have a quiet bar where you won't be disturbed by loud music or bar girls?

[georgegeorgia]

Is there a quiet style "piano" type be at in the 5 star hotels?

For a quiet bar, I've always gone to The Sportsman on Soi 13 Alley. No loud music and they serve Guinness.

Really?  Problem there is you are staring at a wall in a small space and listening to a bunch of loud buzzed drinkers get off.  Don't find the place appealing at all.

But, they do have Guiness.

This is what the op asked for. ???

Let's let op make up his/her own mind.  What you find unappealing might be just what they were looking for.

Thai little place has been there for decades. I recall it being in the same spot in the early 90,s. It's got legs.

Last Sunday evening it certainly wasn't quiet. Had a DJ playing and was louder than I would have liked.

[BigStar]

Jameson's

Havana Bar, Holiday Inn

Elephant Bar, Avani Pattaya Resort

Have a walk around the Arab bars in the area behind marine Plaza hotel.

After just walking around all farang focused bars in Pattaya are quiet!

 

And I doubt they serve Guinness, possibly under the counter.

The Sportsman is like sitting in a dungeon.

 It has better food, TVs and alcohol, and there are no bars on the door.

[ozimoron]

Jamieson's Pub is ultra quiet and they serve Guinness I believe. So does the German owned Siam Lounge nearby as well as German beers.

OP does not mention food.

 

Bars on the door, not sure what this means? Haven't noticed many bars on doors throughout Pattaya unless your talking about the soi 9 police station.

[Hanuman2547]

I second the thought on going on a walkabout and finding some small bar that appeals to you in the area that you like.  Other than that, the bigger hotel bars are usually quiet.

Dungeons have bars like a jail , I believe what he was talking about in comparison

Boring fart, suggest the middle of the Sahara all though them there Bedouins can get a bit rowdy. You might catch a glimpse of one every 6 months or so.

Are you talking about the restaurant?  Yes, it is nice.

 

I think the best suggestion is just to go to an area and check them out there are some bars that do not have loud music along Beach Road but then again they don't need it because of the neighbors lol

Yes, right on the water. I think it's a restaurant also, with a huge bar in the center.

 

I noticed a "Ladies Welcome" sign up which seemed a bit odd. Seems like the place would be full of freelancers, but it appears they avoid the place if they are solo for some reason.

And it's a QUIET dungeon.

Plenty of quiet bars it’s just the others next to them are not.

[kokopelli]

Try Sunee Plaza in Pattaya, there are 3 quiet bars to sit and enjoy the silence.

[SportRider]

Maybe Thank Bar on Soi Buakow, towards the market end on right side after jn with Soi 15.

Cheap beer. Unobtrusive music. Good seats looking out onto the road.

Excellent food on site.
