Is The Music To Loud

[barrybike]

The few bars that don't rip off the customers by over charging and padding the bills, have friendly girls who don't hassle customers for drinks, play good music at a sensible volume , and have staff who are not ignoring you because they are watching TV, etc are consequentially jammed packed, even in the current recession, and the rest struggle to survive.

Live and let live, and let them get on with it, I guess........

I seldom visit Patts nowadays . When I do its just to see some old friends. I used to have a favorite bar , didnt we all. The last few times I went to that bar the moment I sat down everyone would get a drink in, or starty hassling for a drink. Good old Richard is back! Within a few minutes the tab would be in four figures and by the time I was finishing my first beer some staff had ordered their second. The last time this happened and I had not agreed to buy anyone a beer I never went back. Now they watch me stroll bye and I never stop . I really dont think they get it. Pitty really .

Yeah, and when you complain about the noise level they say 'Customer like it loud' and you're the ONLY customer

And what about people like me, who indeed like it loud?

Seems like a Smoker / Non Smoker Thread....

Why should they play the music loud for you when you're not even in the bar?????????

Many years ago I went to Phuket where there's a street called Soi Eric.

There was about 30 bars in the soi, about 15 each side, and at one end (it's a cul de sac) was a DJ who played music that was piped into every one of the bars.

And in each bar there was a volume control and an off switch.

So each bar could adjust the volume levels to their preferrence and there was no cacophony of competing noise from adjacent bars.

I thought at the time that's what's needed in Soi Happy in Pattaya.

Is it still the same set up in Soi Eric? This was maybe 10 years ago now.
