bkkjames Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 me pass well I do understand that the Crossbar (or other pubs) may not be for everyone, we will have to go for the majority rules on this. like i said in the opening post, I liked Titanium and suggested we should look for something along that lines. Sorry Alex and Thithi, I don't think the teenage hang outs at RCA fit the majority. Any cool places up Thonglor or Ekkamai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonobo Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I have never been to any of these places except for the Titanium for another TV get-together. I rather thought the Titanium was not a particularly good venue for this as it was difficult to talk and hear each other. And I think the purpose of this type of get-together is to get to know the people face-to-face where we usually only communicate via posts on TV. I owuld vote for meeting intitially at any place where conversation is possible, then whoever wants to go toa more raucous place later can go do that.

bkkjames Posted May 29, 2009 Author Share Posted May 29, 2009 BTW, MR Toad (AKA perm Crossbar resident) is gonna speak to Brian the owner tonight? and ask about incentives.

saorsa Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 titanium is good for me...although someone please stop me from buying bottles of champagne...time before last, it cost me 7k just for 2 bottles!! I'm still working offshore norway now, but should be home by next weekend if the weather is good to us, so 12th should be fine. Would be nice if it wasnt just an over 40s 'sausagefest' though, so ThiThi, please do come and bring friends...RCA later can be good too, also Bossy for those that can keep going all hours....

jfchandler Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 (edited) Last time I was in Crossbar, it was thick with cigarette smoke, and nowhere to go or hide (except outside) to avoid it. The air con/ventilation in there sucks.... unless you like breathing ciggy smoke. What about Molly Malone's near Saladaeng BTS... or even Roadhouse (though I'm so-so on the food there). Then, after-hangers could toddle over to Patpong for the late dancing/drinking there.... or to see a show... as befits one's tastes... Or, if you're talking Friday, June 12, I believe that's when Coyote, next to Molly's, has their Friday night happy hour and buffet.... if folks enjoy Mexican and margaritas... in a trendy/hip kind of setting.

futureexpat Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I'll go this time. I agree with earlier posts saying you should be able to have a conversation with yelling. If the place is full of cigarette smoke, then I'll be leaving after my first beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmushr00m Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 June 12th, confirmed???? (too lazy to go thru 3pages to find out) Will be there unless I get sent to HK or Istanbul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theoldgit Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 And there was me thinking it was against the law to smoke in premises like this these, silly me. Before anyone insults me I am not one of the anti smoking lobby, but the law is the law isn't it? or am I being nieve? (yes, I know I am) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have what four confirmed for Crossbar thus far BKK, that's my comment you sort of quoted above... I stand by my original comment. Not only do they flout the smoking law there, but they don't even have the decency (or space) to provide separate areas (or floors) for smoking and non-smoking. Of course the bar does have air con, but it's a relatively small space, one level only, and was pretty bad last time I was there, with only a few people smoking and playing pool...but the smoke was heavy inside. After one visit there, once was enough. As long as they maintain that set-up, I wouldn't go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sorensen Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 If at all possible, my vote is also for a smoke free place. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davejonesbkk Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I might come to this, seeing as Ive never been before but how do we all distinguish each other? Do I have to dress up like my avatar pic or do we all wear TV t-shirts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLaughingMan Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) My suggestion is for all of you to meet at one location, if it is not suitable for everyone you can split up after a while. If the younger ones want to go to a younger bar as a smaller group etc.. Edited May 31, 2009 by TheLaughingMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Its seems a smoke free place is gaining in popularity_btw_i walked passed this club on soi 19 that looked pretty cool, the rock club - I think its name is. Looked much like titanium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfchandler Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I'd suggest some important elements for our ultimate destination...wherever that may be... 1. convenient/accessible location 2. good options/specials for food and drink (or drink and food ) 3. decibel level that allows for conversation 4. smoke free or at least separate area for smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
