Open Air Beer Garden In Front Of Central World Plaza

[sorensen]

Is the open air beer garden in front of Central World Plaza already up running or when will it start?

I will be back from 5 dry weeks in Brunei early December, so have a bit of catching up to do.

I was by that way yesterday afternoon and all of them are up. Guessing they are open now.

Yes I have been there last week, there are several there now and all open. Most of them also have live music and have a lot of customers. Cheers.

There are 4 areas in total, i think... they all open around 5:30/6pm

I was there last week... 420b for a 'Tower' of beer - live music (couple of cute singers as well)

Yep...same for me.... had a great time there in the past week... very pleasant outside in the evening.... and Thai food available to accompany your suds.

Trying to remember.... One plaza for Federbrau, one for Asahi and Singha, one for Tiger, and after that I forget....

My last visit to BKK was last January. Saw the beer halls then and thought they looked good and with live music. unfortunately I was ragged away by the "cheese & kisses" so I couldn't sampe the brew. Good to hear these institutions are on the menu permanently. I saw one place that was all decked out in red. Seemed to be promoting a new beer. The name escapes me - I have lost a lot of the ability to remember owing to the poor lifestyle I lead. We are back again this january and I thought it might be a good spot to take a bunch of Thai mates for a night out. ( If I can let slip the marital leed) Can anyone tell me the name of a newish beer that has red as its colours and I guess is a local brew? Is it any good? Is Asahi the real Japanese brew - great stuff in Japan.

Ta - Hic!

I believe, most (or all) of the Asahi available in Thailand is Thai brewed....

The newish beer you're referring to probably is Federbrau, which also is Thai brewed, but supposedly adheres to the German beer brewing laws....

Thanks for the prompt - and vital information!

I had a look at this area last night and was far from impressed by the tower of ice in the tower of beer, the pretentious crowd crammed into plastic seats and tables and the cacophony from the live bands. I can't think of a worse way to enjoy a beer but it's obviously popular with a certain type of Thai customer.

Come on, don't be a party pooper!

Great weather, cold beers, promoter girls, lots of people, music...it is all good. X-mas in Bangkok.

Can't watch chrome poles every night...

I always enjoy these kinds of Thai style outings...

Pleasant evening weather outside, cold beer and lots of it, a bounty of attractive ladies both those working and as patrons, inexpensive Thai food and snacks, free music...everything very easy-going.

What's not to like???

There would be a lot more to like if you didn't have to share a 4 person plastic table with 8 other people you've never met before and if they turned down the volume of the awful "music" so you could hold a normal conversation.
