bkkjames Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Anyone ever been to the free BBQ on Friday nights at the Soi 8 Pub? What was offered? Hmm, the bbq starts after 7pm, don't know what's offered cause I don't want to stand in line with the rest of the English teachers quite frankly. Anyways, I go to soi 8 to drink, not for a free bbq.

surface Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Don't knock the English teachers, some of them are quite fine. Probably not the ones at Soi 8 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 You get Salad,Sausages,Chicken,Pork Loin BUT YOU GET NOTHING FREE IN THIS WORLD Then all you who will no doubt still be hungary walk a bit further up Soi 8 and you will come to DET 5 who also have a Buffet and if you are still hungary i suggest BURGER KING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against them actually, but suffice to say those coming only for a few free eats (teachers or other).... Anyways enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrella Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Looks like Voodoo to me... I Do not do free food, if a place offers free food I do not go on the day they offer it. I can be seen at least 2 times a week in this place as it is my bar of choice for western food. I useds to like Dubliner bar but the place is just over priced and the food went to the toilet, used to like Hunstman but again the food went to the toilet. Maybe that explains the 9 millions adds I see for the place everywhere in Bangkok. Black Swan does a good breaky and some good food at ok prices (best minced beef and onion pie in Thailand.Soi 8 bar has my fav beer at the moment on draft which makes it extra special. From my office to soi 8 I have to walk past at least 5 other bars trying to do the same expat bar thing but these guys have it right IMO at the moment. OK prices good quality. Problem with bars like this is over a small space of time they loose what is good about them in favor of, can not be bothered or now we are popular lets milk it too much. Hope these guys keep it up. Thumbs up except on the day they have the BBQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I noticed last week that big Dave changed the free bbq time to 8pm to catch out a few people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I noticed last week that big Dave changed the free bbq time to 8pm to catch out a few people So he should, I always find it amusing that on a Friday there are people in there that you never see on any day of the week. Still a good bar on whatever night, and that free BBQ has been going for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraPosse Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 The free buffet at Det5 ain't half bad either. I nearly missed out because I thought the guy who told me there was a 'free' buffet was pulling my legs...I mean c'mon what's with that old adage 'There's no such thing as a free lunch!'?! Ok, it was more like tea time than lunch...still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurnell Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Yes, I was getting tanked with 3 mates and didn't even know about the free food until a staff member told me about it, approx 10 minutes before serving time. In the next 10 minutes, 20-30 people turned up, forming a line in front of the bbq. Lousy, cheap-assed free-loaders. One of us missed out on something to eat.

Have to agree, that some of them take the piss. Come in buy one drink, eat platefuls of food and then piss off down the road to DET5 for more free grub.

jfchandler Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 If that below is supposed to be an endorsement of the Soi 8 Pub... it's NOT for me...

jaiyenyen Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 I went to this bar, once. A mate and I were sitting ouside, having a beer. We spotted a friend of ours walking along the soi, with a beer in his hand, we called him over for a quick chat. Our friend stayed in the soi, outside the bar. The manager came out and told our mate to clear off because he wasn't drinking the pub's own beer. We said he was being unreasonable, so he called his bouncers over. We have, and never will go back.

Sure there wasn't a bit more to the story like... your mate shows up with a chang from 711, the waitress tells him he needs to order a drink from the bar as well, he says no thanks and continues to drink his chang. Owner asks him to leave then. Seems normal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonobo Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Walked by there once while the BBQ was in full swing. I stopped by for a plate. It wasn't fantansti, but it certainly was OK. And the price is right. I didn't bother to get a drink, but I did stop by on another date with 8 other people for a late-night meal (Via Vai was already closed,) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LancasterBFC Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 "Your lungs are your choice but the other ppl's lungs you pollute are their choice." Well, as long as you don't do anything hypocritical like driving a car or taking a taxi.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
