Irish Bar

[TBWG]

Not so sure that the reference to Gary Glitter is appropriate given his history and connections with S E Asia?

I think you will find the rest of TV realises that was a joke.

Hi D the D

Shame on you are you calling the Bay City Rollers a joke!

TBWG

Hmm,... Maybe you have something there!

[Thai Chi]

UPDATE......from the horses mouth

Paddys Irish bar will be opening next week. Fiday or Saturday.

The reason it has been so quite there of late is that the ownwers have been in Bangkok buying up a huge range of importrd beer. As well as sourcing some quality food.

The liquor licence has been in place since last November as has the music and food licence.

Full service from opening day.

Looks good, sounds good.......fingers crossed

Yes i realise it is owned by a German, why open an irish bar?, or why not just change the name to paddys Steiner, bit of irish and german influx.

Used to live in Frankfurt, they had several successful Irish pubs there.

Don't know what kind of clientele the leprechaun in lederhosen is expecting, but doubt if they have many international bankers in Buriram. Or maybe they retire there?

Hi Thai Chi

Any further news? I am particularly interested in the French Restaurant Vinyl, as I am rather partial to Coq au vin, chips & baked beans!

TBWG

[Jandajoy]

Hmm, don't know about the Gary Glitter platforms.........

[prakhonchai nick]

The Irish Pub in Prakhonchai THE SHAMROCK - is up and running

Very good crowd in there last Friday evening

Situate in the small road that fronts the bus station, directly opposite the large garden centre.

Well worth a visit or 3!

TBWG, the Vinyl bar is a goer. It seems to be open most days I go past. I havent stopped in as yet to look at the menu, but hope to in the near future.

Paddys had a sign up as of yesterday saying "OPENING IN 4 DAYS" mind you, it had been up for 3 days already

Will be going past both tomorrow, so may have some more news.

Are you in town (ban satuk) or back in old blighty ?

Can I borrow you Bay City Rollers outfit then. I might have to turn up the short short trooosers.

SBWG

[Thai Chi]

.......and today the sign says "opening in 3 days"

Be intresting to see how long that one is up for

Then again, it may mean that Paddys will finally open its doors on Thursday

(tbwg...when are you back in town)

TBWG

PS: Thai Chi back in Satuk mid October.

[TBWG]

Seems like I am the only one interested in the on going saga of the Irish bar and the nearby French Restaurant.

Has the Irish bar finally opened?

Anyone visited the Vinyl bar/restaurant?

Any reports appreciated

TBWG

Paddys apparently opened just over a week ago.

I didn't go to the opening and flew out to OZ the next day.

Will suss both Paddys and the Vinyl out on my return in a couple of weeks

[fruity]

We have friends living in that soi, the Irish bar was supposedly opening 2/3 days ago, however, I'm unsure if it actually did so?

The french place is ok, tried his breakfast a week or so ago, place done out quite nicely, food I had & service ok. Quite a few expats venturing in whilst I was there, so maybe he'll do ok? Personally, I think he'll struggle to make any money from this place. Renting a double unit, 3 waitress' & a male chef will put a drain on things. Theres just not the trade in Buriram for such a place, likewise, the irish pub will sadly struggle after the initial interest has died down.

Hope he does ok the french geezer, he lives in the next village, he will have to do good as fruity says, one problem he will have, overheads, rent, and if he has taken a lease out, how many years?, i was looking for a premises in buriram to buy, not rent, did make an offer on the old bank next to the bamboo, 4 years ago, they turned it down, now it is 3 million baht more expensive, crazy.

When leasing and renting, to get the doors open, you are improving someone elses property, it is not so bad if you can claim the expense through the Business, but doubt you can do this in Thailand, also once you are doing ok, watch the thai/chinese owner stick the rent up, this happens a lot.

[Lourens]

It's open!!!

Report and pictures HERE.

[Chaimai]

Yep, open now.

Was in there on Sunday. Nice guy from Southern Ireland - hope he does well.

Why avoid cans of Guinness for heavens sake, it's the real Irish Guinness,not the Malaysian crap you get in most places. I sell the same stuff. That's just like saying avoid buying a Ferrarri, cause they're expensive.

[Thaicoon]

Its the old story, you pay for what you get, bet he will have the moaners who quibble about 5 baht.

Never mind the can..........tell 'em to pour it in a pint

[Lourens]

249 Baht? It's still a bargain.
