What are you favourite bars in Bangkok?

[Andy2310]

Hello I'm relatively new to BKK (4 months living here), and always keen to check out new bars.

What places to you like? Do you stick to the same places? I'm guessing most do after you get settled on a few watering holes you like.

[Blackfox]

What's your age Andy and what are you into?

_{oskas soi 11 sukumvite}

[cassde]

I use the Royal Oak in soi 33 at Sukhumvit - food and drink good and used by farang and Thai alike. They have quiz night on Wednesday night, if you are in to that.The ladies serving are friendly and offer good service.

[N47HAN]

Have a soft spot for morning night suk 4.

The very first place i ventured into in Thailand.

Oh the days of rose tinted glasses , kinda miss them

Pickled Liver on Suk soi 7/1 is good. If you dancing girls or boys with your drinks you have countless options.

[asdecas]

Family Mart, mouth of Sukhumvit Soi 101/1.

[Rumblecat]

Bad Motel's pretty good.

Mellow as well. Both in Thong Lor.

Quite like Lady Brett's in Sathorn, although it's pretty small.



W T F is another small but good one, up by Sukhumvit 51.

Cheers. I've never been to any of these

Better than those hussies in 7. FM is a good wholesome place, much better Hot Dogs too.

Sadly it is now defunct but there was a small beer bar on Patpong 2 which fronted a small gogo bar inside. Back in my tourist days I was staying nearby and it was our 'local' I was a daily visitor to the bar.

Going to the bog one afternoon I was accosted by a teen beauty with whom I'd been chatting to on a daily basis, she then bent me over her knee and roundly spanked with a bit of foam pipe lagging.....

I still have 'happy memories' of that place and lassie who I took on a weeks holiday to Samui....why didn't I marry her instead???

You just don't get service like that these days anymore....Oh I long for the Bangkok of the 1990s...

The regulars make the bar. It's not the building or the food or the staff or the decor, it's the regulars who hang out there and make a community out of the bar. I like a bar that I can go to by myself any day of the week, and there's someone hanging out there who is worth having a chat with. The trouble with almost all the bars in Bangkok is that you have to go there with your friends: If you go alone, then you will sit alone, and probably not socialize.

Fatty's over on Dindaeng is perfect for that. You can grab a table with your friends, or you can have a seat at the bar anytime, and there will be the talkative regulars already engaged in conversation. The food is great and the drinks are cheap, but I really don't care about that. It's the community at Fatty's that makes it worth frequenting.

Good thing she was spanking you. In my experience I find, every time I start out to do a spanking, I get them over my knee, raise my hand, look down, & somehow forget what I was going to do. Next thing I know, 1 hour and 1000 baht are gone & I have never worked out where. 5555

Pickled Liver 7/1 is friendly, seen space on Thong lo 13 and Iron Fairies on Thong lo are decent as well.

[SantiSuk]

So much depends on what you are looking for. Beer? Falang bullshit? Serious chat? Sports? Girl chat? Girl chat+? Food?

Beer Garden has a bit of all these, but the beer is limited and no longer cheap and the food is carp! My Thai wife likes it too. Find me a Beer Garden with a good choice of beers, some cheap draughts to keep a broad base of customers (not everyone is prepared to pay 70 baht for a beer lao) and great food and I'd be in seventh heaven!

Never tried the ThaiV bar - must be full of fights as ThaiV warriors find themselves sitting next to their, previously only virtual, nemeses

[Yep 47HAN, I used to love Morning Night when I was a single bloke. Yep The Plant - even only 20 years ago BKK bars seemed more outrageous, but maybe that's because I'm only a hansum man in off-season now!]

[seancbk]

On Sukhumvit Soi 11 - Oskar Bar / Restaurant, Marshmallow Bar, Above 11, Nest, Apoteka

In Silom - Maggie Choo's, Smalls

Thonglor - Apoteka, Seenspace, Iron Faeries

Sukhumvit Soi 22 - Overground, Titanium, No Idea

Sukhumvit Soi 14 - Black Swan Pub, Hemingway's

And around some of those areas / venues there are other good places with names I've forgotten.

It really depends though on your age and what your idea of a good place is.

Yes this, it seems to be quite common here for people venture out drinking alone. Back in the UK people would consider this strange. This is fine sometimes as I enjoy resting up with a beer and doing some people watching but it gets boring/lonely after a while.

I guess I'm just looking for a nice bar with good beer and service to meet some new farang friends with similar interests and age etc but being in my 20s I'm usually one of if not the youngest person in the bar.

Drop into HangouT Pub Sukhumvit Soi 6.

Always friendly, good music videos, & most live sports.

Never have to sit alone, unless you want to

I am surprised that there is o one on here that likes

I find that if you want to watch people then any of the bars on Patpong can be interesting on a busy night.

love to watch thdiscussions betw2een tourist and thai over the cost of a GENUINE "imitation" ROLEX

[stgrhe]

Spasso at Grand Hyatt Erawan

[steven100]

Sheraton lobby bar or Marriot bar because these are the two places I stay at.

[ginglee]

Kikiw bar soi 8 ...Good sport, good beer.....

[BuddhistVirus]

Saxophone pub, victory monument.

Live Blues and Jazz. Good vibe.

This is my favorite pub as well. But - it is fairly cliquish - a good place to be a regular, but perhaps a bit cold to strangers.

One thing for sure - you could walk up and down Sukhumvit Soi 33 until your shoes wore out, and you would NEVER find it - because it is not on Soi 33 - it is on Soi 33/1 - about 150 meters from Soi 33. Robin Hood on the corner, then the Dubliner Pub another 30 meters into the Soi, and then - 50 meters farther into the Soi, the Royal Oak Pub - at the site formerly occupied by the Bulls Head Pub.

Brewdog Punk IPA on draft - that's what brings me in.

I used to drink at On Nut market but since they got rid of the pool tables, most of my friends moved to Hillary 2 in Nana so that's where I go.

Good pool tables, good company, lousy pick up area, lousy food, expensive drinks after happy hour.

[1marco1]

My favourite bar is: The Horizons, on the rooftop of the Zen Central World

[Northwindhermit]

The Rock Pub (“Bangkok’s House of Rock”). My number one pub.

.

The Saxophone, with Blues on Friday and Saturday nights, Jazz on weeknights.

Apoteka, Suk soi 11, Blues. Nice venue. The Rock Pub (“Bangkok’s House of Rock”). My number one pub.
