I walked by there Friday about 12:30 P M and they were closed.

Tuesday night they had a event there 300 baht all you could eat and drink I believe.

Had some thing to do with insurance.

Dave2, the bearer of excellent news!!

Does anyone know if the prices are the same as the restaurant or cheaper? Cheaper I hope, although the 99 baht burger is pretty good value for money.

It's far easier to criticise a restaurant and lets face it, it's quite satisfying to criticise a restaurant but this comment is all positive.... I went to the dukes on the weekend with two of my drivers, and my burger arrived late, so to say sorry they gave me free cookie. I had one of the cheapest things on the menu yet they gave me a free cookie to make up for the late arrival. Good business sense! I'll most certainly be going there again.

I'm gutted.

It's *NOT* open yet. Was closed when I got there. Also the next door pub/restaurant on the corner (same ownership, shared kitchen perhaps) is also still being worked on.

It's nice to see a pub function come back to that building; it was of course the site of the old ABC Bar, roughly 15-20 years ago.

But even that thought didn't help my mood yesterday, as I went to Loi Kroh to drink some girl's booze. Blonde Thai girl, I like those.

Interesting. I passed by there day before yesterday during the day and they were not open either.

Edit: Actually it may have been the 13th not the 14th that I walked by. dave2's photo is dated the 14th. But it did not seem ready to open then. Strange.

As the far as the 'blonde' out of a bottle Thai girls...nah But there are naturally blonde Singaporean and Vietnamese girls. Those are fun... Actually I did meet a naturally blonde-ish Akha girl in Chiang Rai one time and she was indeed lovely.

Let me add that it did look like they were *almost* ready. Looked like working on the finishing touches; perhaps kitchen and supply stuff. And that they were doing this at 10pm also makes it likely that this is the final 1% squeeze, to open perhaps this weekend.

This being the high season, they clearly want to open ASAP, especially for that location where they would expect to get a lot of tourists.
