For all of you Patters Lover(s) list your favourite spots to chill or otherwise. (no particular order)

1. Blues Factory - simply the best live music venue hands down.

2. Xcyte - great floor show and venue for dancers

3. Lucifer's - freaky looking and crowded, but another great spot for clubbers.

4. Throb - cabaret show is a riot, and interesting use of the aquarium.

5. Whiskey Bar - aircon enclosed and best selection of whiskeys surprisingly in Soi 6.

6. Crown Vic - great pub food and also in Soi 6

7. New Orleans Restaurant - hands down one top farang food spots in Patters.

8. Tequila Reef - Mexican food not half bad, but great atmosphere to relax, eat, and drink. (owners/staff are top notch)

9. Alamo Bar - relaxing place to chill. (yanks)

10. Jolly Roger - relaxing place to chill. (english)

11. George and Dragon - relaxing place to chill. (welsh)

12. Den Bar - day/nite always open. (only place I know find a tin of cider)

13. Bay Cafe - 24hr cafe/restaurant

14. Polos - 1hr show is lot of fun - choreographed dance show and audience participation. (worth a look every once in a while)

Electric Blue - my new favourite.

Peppermint - probably still the best gogo in pattaya.

Indian by Nature, The BEST indian.

Mata Hari - great quality food.

??? i need to get out more

10. Jolly Roger - relaxing place to chill. (english)

If we are talking Billy's place thats my stomping ground Brit............yeah its a good place for a quiet drink (thats if Billy hasnt been on the pop anyway).

Wonderful 1 do cans of Blackthorn at 135 baht.

I/ll add Tims Go Go to the list nice place to go out the back to chill and have a game of pool.

Now this is more like it, the old pattaya forum that I used to know, I see that you mention the jolly roger, we obviously know each other, but I have to admit that my favourite bar at the moment is Jade bar on Jomtien nivate, although you cant beat an afternoon out down soi Yodsak

But do you use the gym as an excuse or do you say "i'm going to the Jade bar"!

Tell me about it, i/m in there every other night..............we come from the same town in the UK, he's never changed.(good lad though)

David as you well know it is part of my job to check out bars and restaurants and take pictures of them and do reviews of them, So I just say I am going to work

I might add that I have the blues factory penned in for next month, a small donation and I wont come

I see that you mention the jolly roger, we obviously know each other

Aye Ken the perv...............sad loss.

You know who got his condo dont you.............

you posted it and I went to his funeral, got to admit I didn't see it in pcn, still I feel sure that pcn as always didn't know the full storey so just made up some lies.

not his ex wife that is for sure, his mate flew out from the UK to sort everything.

Aye.

Bet Martin is cheesed off that he pulled out the sun, with Ken gone there is only Steve left now.

Place was much better when Kev had it.

Anyway we are getting

The Dogs &lt;deleted&gt; soi Yamoto

Fat Patrick`s bar the `cock well inn` also serves a cool beer.

1) Sundowners in my top floor room at Siam Sawasdee, anticipating the night ahead.

2) Lek Bar on Soi 7 passing the time with Charlie and Lek, who has some of the best music in Pattaya (and tolerates my Kansas habit) while watching the chaos on the Soi. IMHO one of the best kept secrets in Pattaya. No hassle and good company.

3) TQ2 for a rock fix.

4) Any minimum hassle beer bar which has a view of the passing circus.........

Since I'm working in a war zone, and can only come to Pattaya for visits my opinions might be a little different.

1. In shower with, underneath, on top of, in bed next to Thai GF.

2. Parked in front of hotel mini bar.

3. Sleeping it off next to pool, or on beach.

4. Beer bar prferably with view of Muay Thai, and passing circus that is Pattaya!

I enjoy watching the passing parade, so I find a front row seat somewhere on Walking Street and sink a few beers.

I usually choose either Stony's Bar or Star Bar. (not to be confused with the Lucky Star Bar.) Their seats are quite comfortable and their location is central. The only problem with the Star Bar is that they have lazy bar staff who don't know how to dig down to the bottom of the fridge to get the coldest beer bottles.

Stony's draught beer is always icy.

hmmmmm, I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it.

Big Tony would you mind toning down the bull shit as its putting me off my food ,

Now we have a arse wipe who thinks hes getting PAID to check out bars and take photos , and since when do you have to tell a lady boy IAM GOING TO WORK

Tony, I would ask that you explain who you are, or rather what you are trying to acheive with this constant stream of inane drivel, insults and pointless posturing. You are really starting to p1ss people off.

Spot on MM... Stony's is a great venue for excatly that, and the service is good too.

For a bit of Thai rock and entertainment, I enjoy going to the Blue Chilli Pub on 3rd road. Next week I'm going to try out the new one... Bitchy... right next door.

/Edit - I think Tony's been given a holiday...
