The Dubliner

[kevin2008]

I note the DUBLINER on Sukhumvit has finally closed its doors. I was there on opening night in 2000 which was attended by Denis Taylor, ex-world snooker champion.

The following from the website:

The Dubliner gives a huge thanks to everyone for the tremendous support over the years.

We are relocating to Sukhumvit 33/1 only i min from BTS Phompong station and we are going bigger and better so you can have more of the best Irish pub and restaurant in Bangkok.

Our new venue"Dubliner Place" will be a proper Boutique Hotel.

Who is 'we'?

Will be interesting to see how it turns out. Always thought the old venue was a bit small and pokey.

I had that once and I couldn't finish it,I'm over 100 kilos!

[Vale Tudo]

Thank goodness they're re-opening as it's one of my favourite Bangkok pubs!If it's only 1 minute form Phrom Pong BTS it must be within eyesight of the old place then?

Anyone know the re-opening date at all?

The fry-up was massive and pretty good quality!

Yes, was a good spot for aan afternoon drink people watching by the window. Now moving cross the road which means that Robin Hood, Royal Oak, and Dubliner will be within 50 meters of each other- excellent for us pub lovers.

Not to mention The Londoner.

Good lager, esp at happy hour prices.

Yep that joint was funded, opened and maintained on the profits of ill-gotten boiler room money.

Apparently, more than a few expats boycotted the Dubliner when the connection was made but, to be honest, these shysters own so many of the bars & clubs targeting foreigners in BKK, we've probably all drunk or danced at one of 'em.

Walked in there about 5 years ago with 10 others for lunch on a saturday. Ordered beers which where served warm asked the barman for some cold ones he explained that after a couple they would be cold as the fridges had just been restocked. Finished warm beer went to Bourbon St & had a great afternoon.

Went back a couple of times but the place didn't do much for me & the hike to the toilets was a pain.

To each their own but we won't be in a hurry to check out the new joint.

pretty hard not to in this town.

what is Irish about it apart from the name?

[Jueputa]

Let he who is without sin etc!

I certainly won't be letting it spoil my enjoyment of some very good draught beers and food,plus a band that doesn't split your eardrums,or play 'Zombie' and is quite pleasant to listen to!

If it keeps out all the whingy,holier-than-thou Thai Visa mob,that can only be a bonus surely?

After what I read here I know I will never go there.

[sms747]

Nothing Irish about it at all then?

[CarlBkk]

There isn't really much English about the English pubs in Bangkok either. There could be, but there isn't. That's why they don't have much appeal. That and the over confident and soon surly and poor mannered Thai girls who they employ.

It was painted green if thats anything to go by. As far as i could tell that was about it.

One entertains the hope that somewhere down the ASEAN line, these pubs may be able to employ Filipina or Burmese girls who want to work and can speak proper conversational English.As to The Dubliner, I only went in there a few timesbut always found it a convivial atmosphere. The Londoner may be a bit of a dungeon, but the beer more than compensates for it. A fine pint of bitter!

There are only 2 recent posts on the Dubliner. So, how is the relocated Dubliner, folks ? Variety of beer, beer prices, presence of Happy Hour or not, presence of live music or not, general atmosphere, etc.

Huge variety of beers, prices much the same as the old place, long happy hour, live music, full-size free pool table, tremendous atmosphere, and, of course, it is genuinely Irish unlike every other "Irish" bar in Bangkok. And it now has a hotel on the top floors.

[millwall_fan]

Just back from the 'new' Dubliner tonight. Fine manager called Dermot. Usual pisspoor beer, but the 'craic' more than made up for it. Vigorous discussion about the future of the Heineken cup with strangers. A true pub in the greatest sense of the word!!

[TheSpade]

Is it a good spot for a beer on a Sunday afternoon? I need a good Sunday drinking place.

[millwall_fan]

I'm also on the look out for a good Sunday Afternoon place. dont know about THe Dubliner - last night was my first visit.
