Daewoo Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I like the small pool/beer bars. The ones with just 5 stools at the bar, a couple of girls working, and usually a pool table. In Phuket there are a couple of areas where there are a heap of them all together in a little 'block', and you can just go from one to the next, to the next, until you fall over from drinking too much. The only one I know if in BKK is Queens Park Plaza on Soi 22. I used to love Soi Zero, but that is gone, and Soi 1 isn't a good replacement. Are there any others in BKK that I don't know of??? Especially ones where the bars start to open from midday??? Cheers, Daewoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Ah Soi Zero, rest in peace. Bangkok for me changed after Soi Zero went. Sad. Nothing left to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daewoo Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 <--- Make up your mind... Chiang Mai in Patong ... If you are in Patong, then you know the types of beer bar squares that I mean... Soi Zero RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chavy Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 there use to be a great soi in Krabi just off the main beach road.....not sure if it's still there after the Tsunami though In Bangkok between Soi 3 & Soi 5 there is a walk way linking the two Soi's that has bar after bar down it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I noticed a few type bars as you walk pass Nana Plaza about 100ft on left side of the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavy Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 That plaza was nice to goto at one time , but the last few years have seen it go down hill in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daewoo Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 That plaza was nice to goto at one time , but the last few years have seen it go down hill in my opinion. Definately gone down hill... Is there not really much of a market for these types of places... surely there are a lot of other guys like me, who don't go for gogo bars, but don't like the huge bars either... I know that there are a few more pool bars on Soi 7 (7/2???), but they are a bit too upmarket for my taste... Cheers, Daewoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Daewoo There are bars with pool tables in both Sukhumvit Sois 7 and 7/1 and some are decidedly not up-market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiang mai Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 You might like Soi 6 where it joins Soi Nana. There's five or six places together that have a similar feel to soi zero. In case you don't know where soi 6 is: go down nana and turn left just after the Hillary bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fennielyn Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 (edited) There are a couple of bars just under Sin bar and Ball in Hand that are cosy and equipped with only two or less pool tables each. A personal favourite of mine, but only because adore I the girls there and also think that the owner Keith is one cool cat (despite his penchant for Johnny Cash and the like =P), is Metro, which has 3 pool tables, the most awesome bartender in Sukhumvit and the friendliest non-gogo girls around. They also probably have like 5000 songs on their laptop since they are able to play whatever whimsy piques my fancy at the time and however obscure too. ^^ All places mentioned are along Soi 4, down past Nana Plaza and opposite Hilary Bar.

Zpete Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 Silom Rd has so many bars. NOT Patpong ripoff joints. If ya wanna watch sports, be it soccer or rugby..... woteva, have a feed, or just goss. "The Duke of Wellington" is about the best around. Dun charge the earth either. My reg BKK drink hole.

PolPotter Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Used to own a bar in the Soi 22 plaza- don't go down as often as used too- not a big fan of Metro to be honest. Used to like Asoke plaza in the old days-as for Sukhumvit 1 don't bother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
