Sneak look at new AC bar in Sansai Noi.

[a99az]

Well today I managed to get a sneak look at a new bar restaurant that's opening this Monday eve in Sansai Noi called "Bottoms Up" Not far from Tesco. I got into conversation with the new owner of the place quite by accident as I was walking past and asked if I could take a look. Andrew invited me in and introduced me to his wife and some of the girls who will be working there I was impressed with how clean and professional it looked. It has an air conditioned bar and looks very inviting. I can't wait to try the food and spend an evening there with friends. Also got a peek at the business end of things out back and I could see that the same effort was put into the preparation aria for food, very clean. I asked what they would be serving and was told they would be serving Cambodian, Thai, and European food.

If what I see is anything to go on I am sure this is going to go down well with the local expat and Thai community. Sure I will be there this Monday to try it for myself as I do enjoy my comfort.

Good luck to Andrew and his charming wife and family.

Good luck to anyone operating any business in Thailand,more so in these times of austerity.

Bottoms up already exists in the old town .Will never compete with the original in Kowloon.do a bit of research before choosing a name.

Sure this place was once run by an Aus guy "Ken" but think he was only there for the beer lol. Went by there one night and saw him KO out the front. Got to say the place looks good now and with the right people should do well just don't drink all the profit like the last guy Lol.

[Happy Grumpy]

Good luck to the OP and his business venture.

Though it rang a bell "The Man with the Golden Gun", but don't think many of the more sober expats will confuse Hong Kong with Thailand.

Oh just seen that there is another in the town this could prove interesting.

Nothing wrong with the name, quite popular as there are dozens of bars with that name in the US and one in Thonglor.

But yeah, one inside the moat - https://www.facebook.com/Bottoms-Up-Chiang-Mai-Thailand-316773638463874/

Hope it's better than "Bottoms up" in Kowloon. Full of pretentious gwailos.

[a99az]

Sounds like people loved the place.

Exactly where is it? I can't tell from the screen shot. Do they have a pool table?

Thanks for that taotoo.

It is the turning opposite Home-pro (just before the road splits into two) about a kilometer down on the left hand side.

Worth a look.

Yes ,i finally figured it out from that bad map .Used to be Kens ,as a bar mainly .I suppose he gave it up as he dont need the agro .There is another good new Farang bar near there called the Sundowner,with live music Friday night and a Sunday roast buffee ,from 12 till 3 pm .Owner Tony formally had Andrews bar near there ,since gone .His girlfriend/barlady is called Oum ,and has tons of personality.

Agreed Sundowner does an excellent Sunday roast.

"Some of the girls?"

So that means it's one of those places with rentals?

Hope it's not too close to a school....

Just waitresses perhaps.

[BarnicaleBob]

I drove by the place yesterday and they did not look like they were open yet. Does anyone know when it will open and what the hours will be?

Then you missed a great night Monday with free food.

[junglechef]

Anyone know the hours of AC Bar and if it's kid friendly for an early meal?

Couldn't find a Facebook page, is there one?

Sundowner is nice local place for Sunday Roast and Tony said starting today they will have their pizza/burger bar, which is street side, open.

Think you will find it very friendly and great food it's normally open by about 5 but I think they are closed on Tuesdays and kids are welcome.

Sure this place was once run by an Aus guy "Ken" but think he was only there for the beer lol. Went by there one night and saw him KO out the front. Got to say the place looks good now and with the right people should do well just don't drink all the profit like the last guy Lol.

Yes the drunk Ken, I hear he ran off with out paying the rent and left it in a filthy state that took weeks to clean and repair after he did his moon light flit.

^Very much doubt the above.Ken was a really nice pleasent guy ,who never seemed stagering drunk to me .Also the bar area (all i ever saw ) always looked clean .He never did much business there so i can see why it folded .

Drove by the place one night and saw him passed out in front of the place. I guess he could of been taking a nap but I think he was pissed.

>>I hear he ran off with out paying the rent <<

Then he would have lost his deposit .A win win for the Landlord .

Only if the deposit covered the loss!! Which I understand it did not.
