suiging Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Jamesons in Pattaya is fine as long as you don't get stuck too often in " rounds" at Kim's table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozen123 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I like Princess Terrace Pub & Restaurant @ 94 Charoennakorn Soi 21, Charoennakorn Rd. that was just opened not long ago. Good selection of drinks and food. They also have karaoke for a night when I feel like singing It's by the riverside, so the view is also a great plus... unlike the other "stuck" in city view I always see. Search for "Princess Terrace" and you can find their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDrSomkid Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Thong Tapan, Thong Nai Pan Noi, Koh Phangan Is Bar Nu still around on TNP Yai? That Austrian guy got excellent burgers and cocktails. Guy's Bar on Fridays. Coolness! Location? Well, the people on KPN should know where it is. In BKK, I don't have a fave bar. Could not be assed to drag myself out to bar on the WE. A buddy of mine keeps dragging me to the Heidelberg. I like the German food there. And how could I forget Cafe Uno in Chaweng. A bar for the whole day and sweet staff. Edited August 23, 2009 by EvilDrSomkid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krading Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Bpuu's Bar opposite Chain Bungalo on the dirt road leading to White Sand in Lamai Koh Samui. About the size of your average bathroom, has one table, half a dozen plastic chairs and about 6 ft of bar space. Old Bpuu, a Swedish guy who stays at White Sand gave someone a couple of grand to open a bar where he could get a drink on the way back to his hut after the hurley burley of Lamai. Sue (I no have boyfriend) will stay open all night if you want to keep drinking. I must congratulate Bpuu on his forward thinking as many a time I have dropped in for a night cap or six before stumbling the 30 metres to my hut.

Geekfreaklover Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 (edited) Bullys and Robin Hood (75bt a pint of tiger after 4pm at Robin Hoods) - newspapers, internet. For food Huntsman terrace. Soi 8 on a Friday - free bbq and always bump into people. The Black Swann has a nice old world English pub feel to it. Cheap Charlies for a late drink.

Crossy Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I like CrossBar (no I've nothing to do with it), free parking in Sino Thai over the road and handy for the office. Also use the Pickled Liver (formerly The Old Bell, Soi 11) both friendly, reasonably quiet and I can take the Missus without getting kicked on the ankle too often. Occasionaly sit outside the Corner Bar at the end of Cowboy opposite The Old Dutch and watch the floozies arriving for work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needforspeed Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 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.

sbk Posted December 9, 2009 Author Share Posted December 9, 2009 What about someplace where the beer isn't something like 300 baht a glass? Landmark is nice but rather paeng, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you assuming that the Landmark is the only kind of atmosphere there is? I'm saying that if I was making a decision about whether to meet friends in the Landmark or somewhere else, the alternative wouldn't be Carrefour food court. On the other hand, if I was making arrangements to meet friends for a drink near the office, Carrefour food court would be up there alongside various Thai places the names of which I don't know. I don't understand why beer in Western pubs is half again the price in Thai places, when generally, Western fellas will swill a lot more beer a lot quicker than Thais. And the Western pubs are generally quite busy as well. I suppose they charge those prices because they can, and people will still pay. I'm overseas just now; I found the cheapest beer was in an Indian place, that sold exceptionally strong Indian beer in big bottles which left you with a memory like a newly cleaned white board, and a similar smell as well. I'm frightenend to go back... SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AC, clean western toilets, good music, maybe live music and garantee other costumers who can speak English. Happy to pay a few baht more for this.

tutsiwarrior Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 where I live they ain't got no pubs...if yew wanna drink beer yew go down the bus station and sit at one of the food stalls...they got sum karaoeke places around but that's where yew go to get laid, not to drink and socialize... come to think of it, I've never seen a thai pub...what do they look like? not havin' a pub around don't matter much to me these days...in my dotage I stay away from crowded, noisy places...easier to get drunk at home an' talk to meself; I always say the things that I want to hear...

Meridian007 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I'll second the vote for the Black Swan, it's expensive, but the environment and food make up for the price. They do the only "Yorkie" I've had in town that wasn't sitting in a puddle of oil. For a more down-to-earth experience, I like to sit on the side-lines and watch the zoo go by at Khao San from a place called Lucky Beer. They are across from Center Khao San, with much better prices. While I don't really like Khao San in general, the amusement I can get from watching people there is generally higher than the annoyance factor. There's nothing quite like the sense of schadenfreude that can be gained from watching some young "spring-break" frat boy walk down the street with what he thinks is a woman. My girlfriend gives me heck for enjoying another person's folly, but I guess we all have our own personality flaws... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are you assuming that the Landmark is the only kind of atmosphere there is? What do you want, American style bar and grill, Brit style pub, Aussie style sports bar, bar with a decent atmosphere, a place to go for a quiet drink and relax, or one of those pretentious type places where people go to be seen rather than to enjoy the place. Atmosphere I have found comes from the company I am with and not one of those plastic tourist traps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilHarries Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I know it's not Thailand but the question was not qualified by that condition (yeah I know it's ThaiVisa but you may find tourself in HCMC). Probably my favourite in District 1 (HCMC) is Bar 5 at 44 Duong Pasteur. Draft Tiger 35,000 VND a glass (just under $2 and around 350ml), bit of a/c (not too cold though), a bevvy of beauties behind the bar serving (but no hassle unless requested ), reasonable food, reasonable music (all tastes catered) and sports on the three TV screens. Gets a good cross section of working and long time expat residents so conversation is varied. Over the river in District 2, a scruffy cafe (can't remember the name) most people wouldn't feed a dog in, no music (well sometimes but only Vietnamese), no beauties serving, food is great but VERY Vietnamese (not dog though), no televisions, no expats (except me). So what's it's attraction? Cold Bia Hoi at 4,000 VND a liter (22 US Cents). The nearest there is to a pub I can think of in HCMC is Le Pub (bluddy French nicking our institution) just off Pham Ngu Lao in the tourist area near De Tham, not great but a lot better than Allez Boo (Corner of De Tham and Pham Ngu Lao).
