You mean the one's on Sukhumvit soi 11? Been gone since 1 year or so. Crackdown.

There are still some places on that street to enjoy a bucket if that's what you fancy ;) First one is appropriately called "Night Friends", and located right before the 1st 7-11 on your right (if you enter from main Sukhumvit Road).

Strange, I just saw 3 of them lined up on the corner of Rangnam street and Pahonyothin street near Victory Monument BTS yesterday.

But I did not notice what they were selling. Maybe just food and juice?

Not so Strange if you read the OP.

Those would be the ones in front of the Century Mall. Fast food and beverages, including alcoholic. There's plenty of seating too laid out on the cemented yard and fairly loud music. Seems like a pleasant place to shoot the breeze and quaff a few.

There doesnt seem to be a good happy hour for cocktails in the area any more....

Anyone know of one

Oh well.

I also noticed that the ambasador hotel the huge one has closed down along with a few bars. Tourist numbers seemed to be lower as well

But, sadly, not solvent enough to be able to afford if it costs more than a bottle of water

pressure from the locals that have to pay license and rent, while the vans avoid that? Mafia squeeze? same issues in Los Angeles CA with the food trucks. They park anywhere and don't have to pay all the things that brick and mortar restaurants have to.

Cheap cocktails are a genuine false economy.

They use the cheapest & often nastiest generic versions of spirit mixed with 'fruit' juices that have so much sugar added to them that they'd give a coca cola can a sugar rush.

Quality over quantity everytime unless you can afford to combine the two
