meelousee Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Since this IS farang pub I thought I'd ask; whats your favorite pub? Where is it and why do you like it? I hope one can have more than one favorite. One favorite is Larry's dive, good food and no cola hounds Soi 22 Another favorite is Silver Dollar, plenty of stories, lies and jokes to keep you entertained, cola hounds behave most of the time (Washington Square) Another favorite Beer Garden, soi 7 Good food cheap prices and a show(sort of) people from all walks of life from dozens of countries make ummmm... you go see. I dont know what to call it. Another favorite is Morning Night Soi Nana, great pool tables, cold beer and hot ladies of the night. No keepers but lots of fun. Gullivers soi 5 for all the reasons above except for the prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonrakers Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I drink in the Crossbar. Initially so because it is convenient to go to straight from work, although now I know most of the regulars in there and so it has become my local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Have to admit one of my favs is the Buss Stop, half way down Soi 3 near the Omni, Bkk, Though it's open air, it's walled-off on the street side reducing noise. With lots of greenery, it's a lush, refreshing respite for lunch, dinner or pre-drinks before heading out where ever. They've added a second open air level above the bar. With two hostesses in formal evening dresses at the entrance you may think it's too classy or reserved, but it's very casual and comfortable, plenty of hanging TV's for sports and news, no pool tables and little riff raff.

Yes, same for me close to work, but now know so many people in there it's just like a local. I also like to pop in to Soi 8 as well from time to time. Both pubs are good, and the owners are ver hospitable people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frezie Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 The Log Home (or Cabin) Thong Lo soi 18 Good music, good bar food, Large restaurant. I like it as you get more Thais than Farangs and I've made quite a few Thai friends as well as Farangs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJo Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Another favorite Beer Garden, soi 7 Good food cheap prices and a show(sort of) people from all walks of life from dozens of countries make ummmm... you go see. I dont know what to call it. Shark Tank, beware some of them bite and i mean the hounds and customers alike Penalty Spot, Robin Hood both close by.

Been in all of those and hate all of them and would never go to any of them again with the possible exception of Silver Dollar for a boys night out and include one or two of the other bars in Washington Square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungian Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I have to say the UN Irish Pub in Chiang Mai. No bar girls, they don't pad the bill, the owner (the one I know) is a decent guy who speaks his mind and lets you know where you stand and the staff is friendly.

dantilley Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 For a quiet few drinks in pleasant surroundings, the Huntsman in The Landmark fits the bill. Bulls Head also good on Sukhumvit Soi 33/1, and The Dubliner near Washington Square. Good food in all these places too, except the Dubliner.

No bar girls, they don't pad the bill, the owner (the one I know) is a decent guy who speaks his mind and lets you know where you stand and the staff is friendly. Seconded. I like The Writers' Club too. In BKK - The Bull's Head (Suk 33/1); TuBa (Eka 21); Wong's (Ngam Dupli); Mokka (Lang Suan); Gazebo (Suk 1), Skytrain (Rang Nam), Raindogs and, er, Electric Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantilley Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Skytrain (Rang Nam) Agree, very nice place. Wine Pub in the Pullman Hotel just round the corner is excellent also. And Saxophone, also close by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polecat Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) And Saxophone, also close by. Never really liked Saxophone. I think it's because of the the bloody pillars that obscure the stage wherever you sit. I do like the saxophone-shaped beer mugs though.

polecat Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 polecat has quite a few favorite pubs. as does dan, I see Yup, sorry about that. Got carried away. If I had to plump for one, I'd say... dam_n, you know what? I don't think any of those places are what I'd really call a favourite bar. I don't think I have one in Bangkok. These are just places I go to. Can't say I'd miss any of them terribly. So, I'll go with The Writers' Club in CM. I moved down to BKK 3 years ago, and that's a place I genuinely miss.

chavy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Flyers corner Soi 22 use to be a favourite haunt, now, when in BKK, I suppose Soi 8 & the Crossbar, by way of MrT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfields Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Since this IS farang pub I thought I'd ask; whats your favorite pub? Where is it and why do you like it? When in need of good western food accompanied by a cold beer or red wine, I go to Moonshine Pub, Soi 22 Queen's Park Plaza. Need the AC for a break, pool table, clean restrooms, and best of all, no hassle ladies who don't just flag down a dek serve, they get up and get you what you need (that's right, they work!). Good bunch of locals easy to talk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiPauly Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I always used the Bull's Head when I lived in BK. Always used it when I went back. Billy the manager is a great guy, always so freindly...I think he has a lot to do with the Pub's success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
