Popular Post WinnieTheKhwai Posted June 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Heard the Beer Garden / Biergarten in Sukhumwit Soi 7 will close, with the area being redeveloped.. Which I think is too bad as it is pretty much the one remaining bar I still visit in Bangkok, with most of the other easy-going affordable places gone or converted into something horrific. (Especially sad about the demise of the basic beer bars in Soi 7/1, all turned into sleeze-pits with mirrors and chrome.) I'm not overly depressed about it though, I've been resigned for a while in where Bangkok tourist/expat nightlife is going. Still, it was a good place, especially a good option during the day for a quick drink and chat. Edited June 3, 2013 by WinnieTheKhwai 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrain Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I thought that had closed at least 5 times already in the past 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HarryMilton Posted June 3, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 3, 2013 It's the area on the other side of the road that includes the owner's house, the car park, food court, New Wave and the shopping arcade that's being sold for redevelopment. The shops are only being given 6 months renewal. The old brasses in the Biergarten won't have to retire just yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the hoi sot available on that side, to the stale offerings at the beirgarden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccarbaugh Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Pity if it closes- it's been a 30+ year mainstay for me, (albeit the last few years I've mostly just observed the percentage of skanks increase.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoshowJones Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 A Shame, as I liked it when I had to be in BKK and it was an affordable place to sit and drink some beers!!! About two years ago, I read somewhere that the Beir Garten was a place where ex pats meet for a drink and blether ( not The Blether we all know)One day late afternoon, I walked in and started to walk around, looking for Farangs to join for a drink ( in my case orange juice), this guy started to follow close behind me, probably a sort of doorman, not being a bar hopper, I don't know whether this is usual or not, so I just waved my hand at him and walked back out, may I add that I do not wear shorts, simmets, have facial hair or tattoos, so I wonder what his problem was.

HerbalEd Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) So sorry to hear this. I've been going there for thirty years. When I first went there it was about half as big as now, and if I remember correctly there were no walls and a chain-link fence instead. It's a bit of a historic institution and I have some very fond memories of the place. The management went out of their way to chase away the ketoys and the trouble-maker girls and you could pretty much trust that any girl you took home was not going to slip you a mickey or otherwise rip you off. However, the Bier Garden ain't what it used to be and I seldom go there anymore. I think what's killed a lot of its business ... at least for me ... is not letting the girls sit at the two bars just inside the entrance. It's never been the same since then. Oh well ... the end of an era, and I'm feeling old. Edited June 28, 2013 by HerbalEd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
