Well, where can i find it?

Doesn't have to be cheap or large portions; just good quality grub in a comfortable environment.

Best pub grub used to be Jool's , but I've not been for a while.

Best grub/surroundings used to be Bulls Head.

Hanrahans(sp) is giving BH a good run for their money.

Xchange was good.

Dubliner has excellent if pricey food , but would you call it pub grub?

Cheers

Problem I have with the black swan is all the food seems to be made with 3 spoonful's of bland.

The Xchange is Dead, Long Live Molly Malones.

and it still has the best pub grub in Town

Is that the new name?

Will Mark still be running it?

The Dubliner gets my vote. Im told it won an award in the 'Best Pub and Restaurant' category from the Bangkok entertainment and dining magazine too. So I guess it has has some other fans as well.

What an endless question....each to their own.

I have eaten at every "western pub" in BKK over the last 11 years I've lived here fulltime.

What I like most is the diversity that each different establishment brings to their menu items ie: bangers n mash in one place will be different in another, but still tasty.

For me the best pub grub is a combo of menu items in a few different establishments I frequent (no names sorry :o )

The only problem I find with pubs serving western food is that they have western owners who seemingly want to make western profits by charging western prices.

I say this cos in some of these the prices are not much different to what I would expect to pay in London.

The Irish X has opened. I was there on Tuesday. You still smell the painting. More space and not look so dull and dim as before.

I won't call Dubliner a pub grub but food is good though.

Yes, someone commented on Londoner's, the pub with no soul!!

If you want something westernised then you pay by western's cost, Beefheart.

If you want good quality Western food, you have to pay for it. :o

Yes I occasionally do but I suppose the point I was making is that labour and produce costs in London are way higher than here.

Good quality ingredients and expert Western cooks are a lot more difficult to find here. :D

I can't think af anymore stand outs thast haven't been mentioned if you are talking about pub food.

1. Londoner - agreed that the places lacks atmosphere at times, but the food is good.

2. Irish Exchange (Molly Malones) Ok, not been in since the refit, but it used to be good. THe food in Molly's in Phuket was always pretty good to.

If you class the Huntsman as a pub, then it's worth a mention as well, although a little pricey.

Bulls Head is okay for its bar snacks like Chicken in a Basket and Cornish Pasty, but not the best. Good place though for a few beers.

Robin Hood - I like a few beers in this place, but I have to say the food is pretty average, although after a few too many beers it does get better.

Yes I kinda like Robin Hood. It's has a different set up. I like the long stu bar from this end to another. It is not so dark and smokey. I had beef stew and other fingers-food they were quite good. Selection of beer is okay. Over all I like it.

Food at Bull's Head is good.

Oh no it isn't ... :o ... although the BH remains my fave' drinking spot in Bangers

We are talking pub grub here, not fine dining & I think their versions of "bangers & mash" & "fish & chips" were ok. :D

I think we can beg to differ on this one - and maybe my views are tainted by my last experience of taking a thai lady to try a little english pub - the food was average but pricey and all through eating we were treated to a total inebriate continually shouting at his mates "F*** you C***"s - I noted the landlord seating at the bar seemingly grinning at it all - as soon as we finished the meal my companion suggested we left cos she could tell I was going to throw a wobbly.

On a far more positive note the Bullshead has a very friendly manager in Billy and the food is always good and reasonably priced perhaps the chef is not a westerner. Like Soundman I particularly like there fish and chips and thais I have taken there say the thai food is good.

I agree also that the Dubliner breakfast is also well worth having - but not if you're watching the waistline.

The Ship on Suk, soi 23 used to be my choice but not sure it is still good or even still operating. Small and very much a pub rather than the larger well known ones in town. It has been a few years since I last ate there.

New Cowboy Bar on Sukhumvit 22, just 100 meters past Queen's Park Hotel. Food

Lucy's Tiger Den was the best for years, but that was a very long time ago.

Jools was okay, but I haven't been there in years either. Passed (walking) by Jools last week, but had just pigged out at Victoria's on Soi 7. Looked slow.

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      I appreciate you having the honesty to follow your rationale all the way (most people don't) and admit that ultimately, what prevents you from going there is that you are not prepared to accept the scale of such a deception. I totally get it as I was in that position myself for a long time. The Overton window is shifting quickly on this issue, which has moved away from the fringes, from Elon Musks's troll comments on space footage "looking like fake CGI but definitely real" to Candace Owens claiming she has "broken away from the cult of science" and now totally open to alternative theories regarding the shape of the Earth. (I'm guessing I'm going to get at least 5 laughing emojis for this one.)

      Abortion

      No. This is not right. It IS a right. And, in the USA, for example....the stigma is incredible. Just trying to set up a procedure is still very difficult, at clinics. The stigma and the hurdles must go. If you want to know what it should be like: Please just look to Taiwan. No problems there. Honestly.

      Huberman is very POPular, these days. Still, he is NUTZO, and quite an idiot. Sometimes, no matter what..... Even at great universities.... We can still find idiots. Stanford needs to get rid of this guy if Stanford wishes to protect its integrity. Charlatans are probably a dime-a-dozen at major unis. Just listen to Does ANYBODY take these two seriously????

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      The "blue marble" is an invention and NASA has in fact never taken a picture of the entire planet Earth. Each one of the pictures released over the years is unequivocally altered and the inconsistencies are undeniable: But don't take my word for it, here is NASA data visualizer and designer Robert Simmon, creator of the "blue marble": In the existing cloud map some people have noticed a few repeating features that appear photoshopped. They are. There are gaps between orbits near the equator, and there’s no way to fill them with real data. Compositing separate images into a convincing whole is (of course) easier said than done. Even with control of each layer in my image processing software (Photoshop) it took hours of tweaking and re-tweaking transparency, layer masks, hue, saturation, gaussian blur, and curves to get an image that looked like the picture I had in my head. https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/elegantfigures/2011/10/06/crafting-the-blue-marble/ The hard part was creating a flat map of the Earth’s surface with four months’ of satellite data. Reto Stockli, now at the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, did much of this work. Then we wrapped the flat map around a ball. My part was integrating the surface, clouds, and oceans to match people’s expectations of how Earth looks from space. That ball became the famous Blue Marble. https://www.nasa.gov/people-of-nasa/robert-simmon-aka-mr-blue-marble/

      Abortion

      Police has nothing to do with it. Abortion has been legal in Thailand for several years. No need for "backroom procedures" nor for improper procedures. Medical abortion (taking tablets) and d&c (dilatation and curettage) are both done here. Abortion is done by doctors, in clinics or hospitals, staff is very caring. The places I named are the most obvious choices, there are others. But many doctors or hospitals won't do it, that's their personal choice. The posts above are misleading. And as I said before, it's walk-in service. No need to call first, just don't come after 3pm. The earlier, the better.

      Gravity is among the weakest of the forces known to Nature. Even weaker than.... The weakling on the beach. Still, the only reason that there is an Earth is due to gravity. The conglomeration of particles only happens due to the force of gravity. Also, during the mating season, the gravitational force between males and females causes procreation. Otherwise, neither you nor I would even be here.

      Is Earth round or flat❓

      I don’t give much credence to Newton’s theory of gravity. Density is, I believe, the most probable theory (to the smart*sses: yes,if I jump off a building I will crash to the ground, because my body is denser than the surrounding air). The gravity idea, just as the Earth curvature idea, is riddled with contradictions and absurdities. Newton himself, according to David Wardlaw Scott, confessed that the explanation of the moon's action on the tides did not fit well with his theory of gravitation, which asserts that the larger object attracts the smaller (but the mass of the Moon is only one-eighth of that of the Earth). Why are lakes not affected by tides? Gravity is strong enough to hold the oceans to a spinning ball, yet weak enough that birds can still fly?
