New Sports Bar Kad Falang

[uptheos]

I for one am not too keen on the UNIrish pub. Went in one afternoon, maybe a Saturday. I was the only one and all the screens had the same OZ provincial rugby game. Did i mention that i was the only person there? I asked the guy with the beer belly and grey straggly pony tail, seemed to be in charge, if any screen could have some other sport to watch, like golf, esp. Nope, not here, he said.

Amd maybe i'm too poor but 125 baht for a jar of beer is over the top for me. Looks like i will be well positioned to support my 7-11 equity shares, sit on the corner and watch the scooters.

All the screens?

Upstairs isn't usually open in the afternoon unless there's something special on like The Ashes, FI etc, but the screens up there can show other channels independently of the others. Not sure about the two downstairs, maybe they are both on one satellite dish?

[DaamNaam]

55 Baht for a small bottle of water is pushing it.

Keep the riff raff out

And anyone with half a brain cell left.

You can catch those games at "The Game"...

The rest of Chiang Mai will haed to UN Irish or stay home for our sport / drinking sessions. Yada yada..

I stay at home and watch what I want to when I want to.

[CBR250]

Anyone know what beers they carry and what the prices are like?

I bought a small Tiger in the new Sports bar at Kad Falang. Cost me 117.50

Satang in a bar? Weird.

Always good to have more choices, but the overall experience at Kad Falang wasn't anything special. Maybe OK for Hang Dong locals who don't want to go into town. I think I'll stick with going to the Downunder and Irish Bars if I want to go out for sport - as I sometimes do. The Bledisloe Cup is exciting at home, but so much better with the groans and cheers and tension of a mixed crowd of Aussies / Kiwis to liven it up!

How is giving good sound advice pointless?

Stack the fridge, fire up the BBQ, tune into the game (or whatever). Great night in, sound advice.

Personally, I watch football at home, but no BBQ

However, I would bet that a great many customers of The Irish Pub, Downunder etc, who probably live in condo's, apartments, rooms etc, somewhere not too far away, simply don't have the screening facilities that some of these places offer. I would imagine there's a few who have it at home, but probably enjoy a bit of company and would rather not stay at home all the time.

And that's what makes this kaleidoscope of life so grand.

I used to be a regular at both UN and True Blue / Up2U in the late 90's and used to love watching the AFL and Cricket with a few coldies.

Wife and kids happen and then one tends to stay at home more often.

I don't have WE-TV hence me asking "The Games" owners if they had AFL on, i would have walked down the road to their lovely establishment and watched a few games over the weekend. Alas, no AFL...Oh well...time to fire up the barbie again.

What happened to Maurice?

Bring back the wet T shirt competitions.

Bars are getting too sterile, when it was Domino it had a wild 'West' feel about it.

[WinnieTheKhwai]

I heard it's owned by some biker gang (don't know which one) members out of Bangkok who also own Angel Witch @ Nana? (Either way, without too much prior Chiang Mai experience)

Still wish them well of course, and out of all things, 'pricing' is easiest to change.

Not 100% sure. Last i heard he was in Oz. His brother David is still about from what I hear.

Yes the wild west was won back then. haha

If it applies the same rules as its sister bar in Bangkok, the beer at 90 or 100 baht will apply only to "happy hour" which from memory is 4pm to 6pm monday to friday! In other words, at exactly the times when theres no sport live on TV. !!! Then it will revert to minimum price 150 a pint !!

I for one am happy to see that price for a beer.

I miss Maurice. I met him taking the RSA teaching course in Bangkok in 1995 and he made it a lot more fun.

Went to try out for dinner Monday night, wait staff was very pleasant, but had no clue of menu, food was at best 'just ok', high priced, small portions, 80 baht for a can of coke.. felt like I was time warped back to Grammer school cafeteria lunch meal. I'll stick with the Dukes Riverside, but wish them the best, there going to need it.

They had better "lift their game" so to speak.

that would be a bargain if youre at...umm...maybe one of those changklan road karaoke clubs...or on a virgin atlantic flight in SPACE.

Agreed, the Facebook page now says draft Leo 95 baht a pint all day.....this has been introduced 15 hours ago according to the post on Facebook, but at the top of the page, it also says happy hour monday to friday until 6pm, as I quoted before.

If they re responding already to criticisms of high prices, then good......but if they really are going to sell Leo for 95 baht a pint all the time, then I would hazard a guess that they arent going to sell very much draft Tiger, draft Singha, draft Chang......all selling at 150 baht a pint ??!!

95 + 17.7%.....50 including tax would almost attract my interest. Beers were 1 USD at the Beijing AIrport last Fall.

[tyznd]

I noticed on their facebook page they added buy 2 Chiang Export beers and get 1 free but they didn't say what the price of a bottle of Chiang Export beer is. Anyone know if these are large bottles and what the price per bottle is?

Also, you would think with all the money they have already spent they would have made sure they had a professionally done website up and running but when you enter thegamechiangmai.com it goes to the Bangkok website. Not a good start to say the least.

any knowledge of 'the Pub', across the road from MAYA? sign says it's the best in CM, or at least was in 2012. LIke beer prices, loud raucous music, sports TV, grub, expat guys/gals or Thai mostly.

Some people used to call "The Pub" "Dead Mans Shoes" because certainly until a couple of years ago the regulars all seemed to be about 125 yrs old and would look at you very strangely if you walked in there as a "stranger" ie not a regular!!

A bit like the scene in An American Werewolf In London when the two young guys entered a pub on the Yorkshire moors in the fog and someone said something like "youre not from around here are you?" in a quite menacing way !!!
