starkey_rich Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Freedom bar used to be full every afternoon. Now it's bare. What happened? Im pretty sure the previous owner moved on, the crowd went with him and the girls. I guess he was the bar and it wasnt about location. I noticed Nancy bar has shut. I guess the German sponsor stopped sponsoring Nancy. The 3 monkeys has closed down (I think). I heard the owner got the boot by the wife..well as they say, one day a rooster the next a feather duster. I always liked Roxanne bar, the owner is a Danish bloke, always good to talk to, a few babes in that bar too As stated Charlie went back to the UK. The 3 Monkeys is owned by Poo and is still open.Her husband Detliff will be surprised to find out he got the boot. Roxannes is owned by Nida and not her boring arrogant husband(the Danish bloke). The only 2 places I can see that doing any trade are The White Hart( owned by Kran) and the stoned crab. Was in the Lemon bar( Sai Yuan the other night also owned by Nida (Roxannes) and had a few of her old girls working there.Had a good night. I see you know Rawai well Van Charlie went back to the UK because he was busted alongside of Omar (the used to be Indian restaurant across from Nikita-more or less) selling and trafficking cocaine. Dettliff is still around the 3 monkeys. Roxanne and everything up on that hill is going out of business and has been for the last 5 years. The Lemon bar was owned by a Dutch man who sold it just in time. See you don't know Rawai at all :-) Isn't that what I said. Who did the Dutch guy sell the Lemon bar to. Only a couple years ago Roxannes was busy every night so was the Monkey house.Not doing so good now and they are up for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenBravo Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Da from Roxanne also owns one of the bars in the Banana complex. On the corner, right-hand side. Don't know the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubblegum Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 @ KB thats Lemon bar and yes its Da. The one in the middle seems to do ok. Its a Finnish guy with his gf who run it. It started out as just 3 bars but the Thai owner (same owner as the restaurant round the corner -Banana- smelled the money coming in) and now its about 7 bars, 4 outside and 3 inside. @S-R Dutchman sold to Da and I put a smiley behind my remark about knowing Rawai didn't I ? Like I said before Paradise bar and indeed the one above and before are doing ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chainsaw Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 The Freebird Bar is a great expat local, not a girlie bar as such but some of the massage girls (and boys) next door seem to be obliging (allegedly), if that's what floats your boat. 2 free pool tables. Regular live music nights, usually on Fridays when there is also good food laid on. 2 big screen TVs, at the moment showing ALL the Lions and Aussie rugby fixtures. Situated at the end of Sai Yuan at the 3-way junction, just round the corner on the Rd. to Kata. Check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarenBravo Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Surprisingly, the bars in Rawai and Chalong are doing far better than their equivalents in Kata-Karon. But then, Kata-Karon have always had very low, low seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bubblegum Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 @Chainsaw; You know just as well as I do that the Freebird has the same group of people year in year out.

JetsetBkk Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Freedom bar used to be full every afternoon. Now it's bare. What happened? First run by Charlie, who knew his business, then taken over by his son Junior after Charlie went back to the UK. He sold the bar for big money to a Norwegian, I think and then opened up Juniors Bar just round the corner on the main Rawai road. He then changed the name to Shaggies in honour of a friend that died. Meanwhile, The Corner Bar in Rawai had their rent hiked. They moved out and took over the Shaggies location and it is now called The White Hart. Business at the original Freedom Bar has collapsed. The new owner just didn't know how to run a business, or, attract girls to work at the bar. I'm surprised Charlie went back to the UK. I thought the reason the bar was called "Freedom" was because that's the one thing they wouldn't have back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
