Review from Dick Farang, October 2017: Seeing the funny side

In a single-unit shophouse in a small soi off Soi Buakhaow just before Soi 15 when coming from Soi LK Metro, next to Garden Beer Bar and opposite Baby Boom A-GoGo, a closed-fronted bar and guesthouse has opened: 555 .

(As to Garden Beer Bar: they are mainly catering for French-language people; there is no garden at all; the garden is just in the name.)

Although the 555 bar is rather narrow and dark, it is nicely laid out compared to similar places, such as Excite Club on Soi Xzyte.

Near the entrance were a bunch of farangs drinking, smoking cigarettes and chatting among them, perhaps the owner and his mates.

The girls were a mixed bag, varying from the tall and slim complete newbie without any English to the short, old, fat, mercenary, silicone-enhanced and tattooed threeholer.

I was told the ST bar fine was 300 baht (room upstairs included) plus 1,000 baht for FS.

All of them were keen on getting some notes in their bras and strings. (Bar girls have got to eat too.)

Bottled Heineken 100 baht, lady drinks (tequila) 130 baht.

Blue Lagoon

404/100 The Village
3rd Road (between Pattaya Klang and Pattaya Tai)

Facebook Page

Guest House, Bar & Restaurant. Previously The Village Inn

Review from Dick Farang, December 2014: Stuffed Deer

The Blue Lagoon (not to be confused with the defunct Blue Lagoon A-GoGo behind the Best Friends bar complex on Beach Road) is a small bar located in a private village named The Village on Third Road opposite the fire station and about 100 metres south of Buffalo Bar (see Enclosures).

Depending on the class some villages in Pattaya are strict gated communities , in some villages (food) vendors are banned, at the entrance to some villages farangs driving a car will probably not be stopped but Thais riding motorbikes or tricycles will and in some villages anybody can venture around no questions asked.

The Village on Third Road clearly belongs to this last category and even its communal pool with a small open bar is directly accessible from the pavement of Third Road.

Many Scandinavians are living at The Village and along its main soi are some small bars/snack bars, The Blue Lagoon being the last one, on the left-hand side at the end of this main soi.

In front of The Blue Lagoon is a mini swimming pool and the inside of the bar is dominated by a stuffed deer head at the wall.

The Blue Lagoon is Swedish owned and outside three Swedes including the owner and one Norwegian were drinking shots of dum-dum (a dark mixture smelling like aniseed kept in a Coca Cola bottle in the fridge and probably containing ouzo or pastis and Kahlua; think of dum = black ).

The only girl I have seen and talked to was the 39-year old cashier from Ubon.

The drink prices were at gentlemen's club level, but the snacks appeared to be more democratically priced.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, dum-dum shot 80 baht, daily special (food) 99 baht.

Update, September 2019: For rent

The bar is sporting a for rent sign, but it has been there a while and the bar is continuing.

Update, August 2018: Revival

The bar has something of an uptick and is now attracting some decent looking girls. Lady drinks are still 90 Baht which must be the cheapest in town. Bar fines have been reduced to 300 Baht.

Review from Dick Farang, December 2017: 90 Baht lady drinks

Driving on Third Road I suddenly decided to park and have a look at Buffalo Bar .

The place was deserted with not even a handful of older uninterested girls and even fewer customers.

The price of an ST mounts up, with 400 Baht for the barfine, 400 for the room, and 1,500 (!) to the girl.

The cashier is still a ladyboy and one of the "ladies" looked like one too.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, lady drinks 90 baht.

News December 2012: Prices

Barfines for bar girls 400 Baht. 600 Baht for dancers and the welcome girls. Lady drinks increased but still cheap at 90 Baht.

News November 2011: Nuts and Bolts

Oh dear, lady boys have crept into the line up. Always a sign of desperation that rarely proves reversible.

Review from pattayagogoguide.com June 2009: On the Up

The popular mamasang Sandy aka Nong (aka little lady with loud voice) has started back at Buffalo Bar, so the standard of girls will be going up again. She has been away for 7 months and it shows in the bar.

They even have a proper plastic Thai recruitment banner outside. Even the famous Chicken (Gai) is back, but sadly only as an early shift cashier.

They have recently renovated the ST rooms, with new beds, aircon and hot water.

[Later reports that the bar now has about 50 girls many of them lookers]

Review from Pattaya Talk Dec 2008: Barely Worth a Visit

I have always liked the Buffalo Bar...but it is now only barely worth a visit.

But still a good drink value only 75 baht for drinks during peak hours.

There seem to be three types of ladies at the Buffalo Bar now, over-the-hill, brats, and nasty-looking.

Many ladies seem too old to be working there, over 40 years, and it is kind of annoying having to waive so many of them off.

The 21ish go-go dancers seem to have a Las Vegas style arrogance.

I also saw 4 or 5, heavily tattooed ladies that looked nasty.

In all, not the nice ladies that used to be there.

Soi LK Metro

The Silver Dollar Bar has been, gutted, expanded and reborn as the Bulldog Bar. But it only lasted a couple of months in Spring 2009. Re-opened in autumn 2009 ready for high season.

The bar seems to have hit the Pattaya forum headlines a bit by pushing the price envelope with 400 Baht barfines and 150 Baht lady drinks.

The Butcher's Arms Pub

Soi Buakhao

thebutchersarmspub.com

Restaurant & pub

Update from Dick Farang, March 2018: Re-opened

On Soi Buakhaow The Butcher's Arms Pub has reopened under the old ownership, but they had better remained closed.

(I guess they did not find a taker. The Italian restaurant Don Joe on the wrong side of Walking Street comes to mind. It had been for sale for many years for twenty-five million baht, but finally the owner had to abandon it without receiving a single baht. After some time the cheapo New York Diner opened at that location.)

Apart from a lick of varnish on the tables I did not notice any significant change at The Butcher's Arms Pub.

The pea-and-bacon soup probably came out of the same box as what you get at other English pubs in Pattaya.

The roast chicken looked and tasted like a chicken curry, although it was served with the traditional trimmings. I have suffered from an upset stomach for two days. The knife was not sharp enough to cut the Yorkshire pudding.

Update from Dick Farang, October 2017: For sale and closed for renovations

The Butcher's Arms Pub on Soi Buakhaow is now closed and for sale now.

It had been going downhill in recent times.

Review by Dick Farang, January 2015: Prices up

At The Butcher's Arms Pub on Soi Buakhaow prices of draught beers have gone up: Heineken is 120 baht/pint now, Guinness 200 baht/pint.

Whereas their bar area remains open until 2 a.m., the restaurant area shuts down from 11 p.m. with the curtains being closed, the lights being dipped, a waitress wiping the blackboard and writing the next day's special on it.

The daily specials seem to follow a fix pattern: on Sundays lamb roast, on Mondays gammon, etc.

After 11 p.m. only snacks are available such as a (generous) tuna sandwich at 100 baht.

I wonder why the bread in English pubs is always so bad, only slightly better than the stuff sold in minimarkets.

Review by Dick Farang, December 2014: Pints of Heineken

Although I am a continental European I sometimes eat at an English pub and I think The Butcher's Arms Pub on Soi Buakhaow is slightly better than the other ones.

I will never order a cream soup or mashed potatoes in English eateries because they really do not know how to make them. In English pubs I always order items I think are typical British and at the same time eatable for a continental European, such as ham and pea soup, roasts and backgammon. I would like to eat fish and chips too sometimes, but in Thailand the quality of fish is often questionable at best.

The Butcher's Arms Pub is the only place in Pattaya where I still drink Heineken draught; they offer it in pints of 0.5 litres and fill the glasses English style (i.e. without foam) so you finally get about 0.55 litres.

If you order lamb roast at The Butcher's Arms Pub insist to get mint sauce with it; the waitresses, although helpful enough, tend to forget.

The Butcher's Arms Pub has blackboards outside and inside on which a daily special is announced, usually an item from their menu, such as roast chicken, at a reduced price.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, pint of Heineken draught 100 baht, pea and ham soup 115 baht, lamb roast 330 baht.

News July 2020: Re-opened

The bar re-opened after the coronavirus lockdown ended in July.

Review from Dick Farang, August 2017: Lo-so posh

With the Den on Soi Chaiyapoon closing early in the evening, I finally made it there in the daytime.

Shortly after 2 p.m. the, not so young and not so slim, birds were fixing their make-up and charging their mobiles.

Several months after their opening there were still workmen with ladders around.

Because of several pillars it is difficult to get a good view. In the middle is a bar counter surrounded by stools. On the right-hand side I noticed some pool tables. On the left-hand side is red plush bench seating with straight backs, which does not look very comfortable.

Contrarily to what I had read on internet fora (all-in price of 1,000 + 500 baht for ST), I was told there was no ST room available, but there was a room nearby at 250 baht. Barfine 400 baht ST and 1,000 baht LT. For themselves the fuglies wanted 1,500 baht ST. An unattractive, shapeless, 41-year-old woman, who had been selling Buddhist paraphernalia in Bangkok, told me she wanted to go with me ST for 2,000 baht, room included.

As soon as the females realised I was not going to barfine or waste money on lady drinks, they wanted tips in their pants and bras.

There were two other customers, quietly drinking their beers.

A lo-so experience.

Bottled Heineken 95 baht.

News from Dick Farang, June 2017: Posh on Chaiyapoon

On Soi Chaiyapoon (aka Chalerm Phrakiat 25 or Third Road Soi 25), more or less opposite the Thai karaoke Hot Man, The Den has opened.

I was told opening hours are 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. only.

I caught a glimpse of the interior, which was dominated by red plush. \I think that in the past it has been a karaoke where well-off bargirls could hire a Thai gigolo. Hot man appears to be the last remaining of those karaokes on Soi Chaiyapoon.

That being said, I wonder who in his right mind would want to open a (posh ?) venue on the worst stretch of the (literally) dirtiest street in Pattaya.

Graham adds:

I went into The Den..had one drink..I asked a nice girl if it was a BJ bar? She looked puzzled and said ...no...only drinking...WTF...

5555 yes indeed: "...who in their right mind...in the dirtiest street..."

I was the only customer at 8.30pm but after about 15 minutes a motorbike pulled up outside and 2 girls rushed in. One of them rang the bell so drinks all round and after a couple of minutes of Thai screaming and shouting and laughing they jumped back on the motorbike, drinks in hand and left.

The Soi LK Metro Duangjai Ladyboy Bar has moved to Soi Chaiyapoon.

Review from Malcolm, September 2017: Sweetheart 2

Duangjai Bar is also next to The Cave on Soi LK Metro. Same name as the one I found on Soi Lengkee a couple of days ago. Must be connected. The logos on the signs are the same but in reverse. Didn't venture in because of the ladyboys sat outside which might confirm my doubts about 2 of the girls on the Soi Lengkee bar.

Dude Pub

Review from Dick Farang, November 2016: Fast service

Off Third Road, in a soi more or less opposite Soi 33 (where Le Carré Blanc used to be), a smallish bar has opened: Geisha Club Bar Hôtesses .

The door was opened before I could ring the doorbell.

Most girls were in their late thirties and wearing big bras and big pants under their chaste dresses. Nothing special on offer. No other customers.

I saw a coaster of a Belgian beer Keizer Karel . (Emperor Charles V was an enthusiastic beer drinker and already legendary during his lifetime. His Antwerp residence Prinsenhof (Prince's Court) now houses the main campus of Universiteit Antwerpen. When he later moved from the Low Countries to Spain a number of brew masters accompanied him.)

Barfine (room included) 300 baht, full service (no anal) 1,000 baht.

Bottled Heineken 105 baht, lady drinks (cola on the rocks) 130 baht, a tad expensive for the kind of venue.

By comparison: at Working Girl on Soi 6 the new prices are 89 baht for bottled Heineken and 125 baht for lady drinks.

News from Pattaya Secrets , Feb 2007: Teeing Off

Good to see a new golf bar opening soon on Soi LK metro off Soi Dianna

It will be called The Golf Club. It should be open any day now.

They will be organising games for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. John ex Lewiinski's bar plans to play Green Valley on Tuesdays, maybe Siam on Thursdays and move around to the premium courses on Monday and Friday. There will be a signup sheet available in the bar.

Review from Malcolm, September 2015: Same Family

What used to be the Family Bar on Soi Diana is now called Harry's Bar, Hotel, Restaurant. It's to the left of the Metropole Apartments between LK Metro and Soi Buakhao.

Nothing much changed from Family Bar.

They have draft Leo at B49 but it's only a small glass. Bottle of Singha at B65 is better value. Orange juice B40.

When I asked about food I was told the restaurant will be up and running in about 3 months.

Beer bar with live band

Review from Pattaya Addicts , Aug 2008: Enjoy

Open air, Beer Bar or Pub style bar located on Soi Diana across from the Acrea Lodge.

I really enjoy this Bar. It’s a great way to finish the night. The bar girls are not stunners by some your standards, but some are really cute to be sure and eager to be bar fined (300 baht). The girls are quick to give you a new drink and don’t bother you if your not looking for company, but are quick and happy to provide some if you want,

After 21:00, the house band starts to play and they really know how to rock and have a good time.

Beer is cheap, Bottles of Heineken, 75 baht after happy hour.

Review from Pattaya Addicts , Sep 2007: Laid Back

Excellent laid back bar called "Heartbeat" that has live music every night from 8pm onwards. Good drink prices and excellent staff who don't hassle you (unless you want to be!)

Heaven Above

Soi Boomerang
(off Soi Buakhao by Pattaya City Hospital)

From 6pm

Gentlemen's Club opened on 9th October 2020. Re-opened after 2022 coronavirus lockdown to good reviews

The long running and popular Heaven Above A-GoGo closed a few months ago on Soi Diamond. Now the GoGo's connections have created a new venue bearing the same name on Soi Boomerang off Soi Buakhao (by Pattaya City Hospital).

Heaven Above now describes itself as a gentlemen's club, but Soi Boomerang is a new entertainment area that features bars that blur the line between gentlemen's clubs and GoGos. So it seems likely that Heaven Above will go with the GoGo trending flow.

Thanks to Ishi who noted that there were topless dancers on opening night but there was no dancing when visiting on 12th October.

Irish Rovers on LK Metro changed hands a few months ago. Now owned by Darren, an Australian. He's changed the name slightly to I-Rovers.

From what I can remember it's pretty much the same inside, over a dozen large TV's showing whatever sport you want.

Extensive food menu at reasonable prices with a Mon to Fri special at B169.

Happy hours on bottles, a bucket of three for B195 from 2pm to 7pm. Normal Singha price is B85.

Pool and darts competitions most nights. Very busy bar. The neon advert on the arch over Soi Dianna/LK Metro still says Irish Rover

J Club

Soi Full Love Inn

Short time bar. Part of the Night Wish chain.

Review from Dick Farang, April 2017: Kimonos

On Soi Full Love Inn one more single-unit hostess bar with doorbell and YouTube music has opened: J Club.

It is supposed to be Japanese themed , but it does look as ordinary as the neighbouring bars.

There were seven or eight birds and two of them looked slightly better than the average quality on the Soi Full Love Inn strip .

Some of them were clad in colourful beach bikinis with some kind of transparent kimonos on top, the only objects that could be labelled Japanese .

I was told ST was 300 baht in the playroom downstairs and 350 baht in a room with shower upstairs with the girls expecting 1,000 to 2,000 (!) baht ST.

For the complete duration of my visit I was their only customer.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht.

Jane's Bar

Soi Pattaya New Plaza
(Off 2nd Road opposite to Soi 8)

Beer bar. Last verified February 2014.

News May 2009: Budget

Thai beers now at 40 Baht after hefty tax increase

Review from Pattaya Addicts June 2007: Packed

Jane's dares to be different. It offers all Thai beers at 35 Baht a bottle, Thai whisky for 25 and proper whisky for 50, including mixers. It is packed every night!

Catering very much to the ex-pat retiree crowd it has become known to the Thais who work the street as the Bar Gaer (old people's bar).

With lots of seating, friendly if slightly worn staff, a pool table and an attached burger van, Jane's dishes out the Pattaya bar experience on a budget for those whose pensions need to be stretched a little.

Ok, so the bargirls stopped being girls quite a few years ago and you'd rather take them back than take them home but the crowd is warm and welcoming and, just as in any likeminded neighbourhood bar back home, you see the same faces in the same seats every night.

I like it very much.

The bar was closed for buiding workin in April 2023 and is set to re-open on 27th April 2023.

News from Dick Farang, December 2016: Dressed to undress

On my latest visit to Bar de la Poste on Soi Lengkee there were only fatties and extreme fatties. They were clad in white plastic fedoras and white T-shirt-like dresses without underwear. For a lady drink they would drop their dresses.

I happened to be the only customer and the ladyboy cashier ordered them one by one to offer me their services.

I was told that the barfines were 300 baht one drink included for the play corners and 400 baht no drink included for the ST room upstairs. Fees for the females were 500 baht for BJ, 700 baht for FS without anal and 1,000 baht for FS with anal.

Bottled Heineken still 80 baht, lady drinks still 110 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, January 2016: Play Corners

Bar de la Poste on Soi Lengkee is open from 1.30 p.m. to 2.00 a.m., which is half an hour more than the Post Office on Soi Post Office, which opens from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

As usual I was escorted in by a ladyboy.

The bar area seemed darker than in the past and the quality of the girls seemed to have gone down.

The females still lack underwear under their short stretch dresses and their tariff is still 500 baht for BJ and 700 baht for FS.

One girl was running around in her birthday suit, probably after servicing a gentleman.

I was told that the ST room upstairs is no longer available and the barfine for the play corners is still 300 baht.

Nice and clean toilets.

Bottled Heineken still 80 baht, lady drinks now 110 baht down from 120 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, July 2015: A discreet package

On Soi Lengkee, two units past French owned Le Private, a bar along the lines of Mango Pub on Soi Khao Noi has opened: Bar de la Poste .

Look for the sign of Trafalgar Bar & Guest House. The entrance is rather discreet and you have to ring the bell to get in.

The bar is spacious enough and the lighting is satisfactory.

The girls are not all top models, but they are not shy at all. There were seven or eight of them sitting on bar stools in dresses that were short enough to reveal their shaven pussies.

For lady drinks of 120 baht they drop their dresses, the only garments they are wearing apart from their shoes, and you can inspect their bodies.

Barfines are 300 baht behind the BJ counter and in the playroom downstairs and 400 baht in the ST room upstairs. The girls expect 500 baht for a BJ and from 700 baht for FS.

When I arrived I was the only customer, but soon a group of three or four other farangs came in, who were having a good time with a couple of girls getting undressed.

Shortly before I left a group of French speaking men arrived, who started chatting among them.

Bar de la Poste appears to be French owned.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht.

Le Private is a French owned beer bar on Soi Lengkee.

It often happens that no girls are sitting outside and the (sliding) doors are closed to save on air conditioning.

Inside were more (mostly French speaking) customers than girls and a lot of cigarette smoke.

The (mostly Thai-Khmer) girls were sub-average as usual, but not too unfriendly.

The owner invites customers to pop by and be entertained by live music and of course the marvellous Maggie Maydens.

From Pattaya Secrets , Oct 2007: Guinness

A pint of Guinness is sold at 150 Baht. Note that the serving girls aren't barfinable.

From Pattaya Secrets , Sep 2007: Draught ASAHI

Nice friendly air conditioned bar with lots of expats, always good for a good chat and banter.

Guiness 150 pint all the time, one of only 3 bars I know that sell ASAHI draught 85 baht a pint during happy hours [12miday until 6 pm], during happy hour all bottled beer 45 baht a bottle and Heineken draught 85 baht a pint.

Has two UBC channels and South African.

Review from Pattaya Chat, March 2006:

I speak to lots of ex-pats in good surroundings, most afternoons before setting off on my adventures. It gives a cheap head start, Pints of Assahi,and Heineken for 80bt.

I find most of the locals near soi Buakhao are too hot during the day time. Maggie May's is just up from Crazy-Daves.

Review from Pattaya-Addicts , Oct 2008: Lively

If you like a decent game of pool on decent full size American tables, with good cues etc then you should try this place. The tables are not cheap (240 baht per hour) but if you like to play good pool this is the place. There are about 15 tables in all and quite a friendly, international place.

A couple of nights I sat at the bar watching some high quality games in progress. Some of the regulars are very good players, not that far short of professional standard.

Metro Apartments sports a lively bar. It is now air con and has 3 free pool tables (as long as you are buying drinks). It has several TVs for satellite sport and friendly staff to play pool with if you are on your own. The Irish boss, Dennis, runs a smooth operation and I found it a nice place for an early evening game of pool before heading out for the night.

The place is open all day but must of the staff roll in about 16 30 hrs and it stays open till 0200 as long as its busy.

Review from Pattaya Chat, Feb 2007: Metropolitan

This place constantly gets a real good write up in all of the boards. Nice, good quality rooms at a decent price. Nice comfortable bar area, free pool tables, a few nice ladies on the staff and a very nice owner in Dennis.

Review from Pattaya Chat, Jan 2007: Friday Party Night

Owned by Steve from Cork , claims he's the only real Irish bar owner in Pattaya.

Nice atmospheric Irish bar, not really into sport , more music based , always a good fun bar. Holds legendary parties every Friday night , if he can't find a reason to have a party, he'll make one up.

From the bar, May 2006: Irish Buzz

If you like the buzz and atmosphere of an Irish pub you wont go wrong at Murphy's Law, it is the only genuine Irish owned pub in Pattaya.

Although it is small; the owner Steve from Cork is a great host, every one is greeted and made welcome, and introduced to the other customers, you'll feel like a regular on your first visit.

Unusual for an Irish bar it doesn't have an 'Irishy' theme but Thai style
decor and a cozy feel. The prices are noticeably lower than other bars and the staff while attentive are not pushy.

Food can be ordered in from any of the many close by restaurants.

The bar has a Thai guy singing every night.

Average range of girls here and more recently there has been up to 7 lady boys working out front. Neither the girls or the lady boys hassle you for drinks so that is a bonus.

Bar fine is 200 Baht, 50 of this goes to the girl.
If you want some where to relax and not listen to a what a 19 year old Thai DJ thinks you like at a squillion decibels this place is worth a look.

Review from Pattaya Secrets , July 2006: Happy

I enjoy the happy hour at New Orn Bar on Soi Diana. Can't beat 35 baht Tiger bottles, unless you drink outside 7-11.

The happy hour runs from noon until 6pm. Thai beers at 35 Baht, Heineken at 50 Baht, spirits at 50 Baht, soft drinks at 20 Baht.

Review from Jil in Pattaya, Aug 2007: High Quality British Food

Prices for food were reasonable, and the dining room was clean and bright with new furniture and pleasant-enough decor. The staff seemed generally competent and the service was error-free. Everything was more than acceptable for an establishment that isn't focused exclusively on food.

Overall, Ricky's on Soi Buakhow is a nice little restaurant serving reasonably-priced, high quality British food. Definitely worth a visit for a middle-of-the-road budget combined with a good appetite.

News from Dick Farang, January 2018: Nieuw owners

On the small soi off Soi Buakhaow opposite Pattaya City Hospital, at the latest location of Mai Lu Si bar, Nieuw Vlaanderen Bed & Breakfast Sports Bar & Restaurant has opened. (As feared, Pookie from Surin could not succeed on her own at Mai Lu Si bar after Charlie's decease.)

The Belgian owner of Nieuw Vlaanderen appears to be a brother of the owner of the defunct Klein Vlaanderen restaurant (once a triple unit and later a single unit with heavy advertising in Russian) on Second Road opposite the Austrian Domicil restaurant. This new owner seems to be new to the Pattaya scene and I doubt if he will last long.

The music is House / Club / RnB / Thai .

Drinking is fair priced eg Red Label 1litre 950 Baht mixers are 50 Baht each.

Review from Pattaya Secrets , September 2009: Lady Cocktails

It was a fun place. Had some friendly ladies. The only thing that I didn’t like was that they have 2 LD prices. A LD or a cocktail. Cocktails weren’t cheap and that’s what all the ladies will ask for

News from pattayapeople.com , Nov 2008: Renovation

The bar now has 3 new owners, Ivan, Justin and Dirk. They celebrated their acquisition with a party on the 1st November.

They also announced the refurbishment of the venue including adding more sparkle to their lively Coyote Dance Show. The new bar plans to re-open later this month.

Review from Materialsman, Nov 2008: ‘It livens up later’

This was a successful Coyote Bar style bar from it’s inception a couple of years ago, and last time I was in there, at it’s height of success, it was packed to the gills with attractive hostesses, but last night it was looking fairly forlorn.

The concept has been copied and improved upon by several Coyote style joints, and Papagayos has been left behind somewhat, perhaps due to its location? Besides us, there were only three other customers in the place, plus a couple of whom I assume were the owners, slumped over the till watching their investment slowly disappearing in front of their very eyes.

All told there were about 15 girls dotted around the bar, inclusive of three girls shuffling around on three corner podiums, but they looked pretty bored with life, on the bright side, the beer was reasonably priced at 80 baht a bottle, and a couple of the girls were quite attractive, and I am sure the owners would say that ‘it livens up later’, as they always do, but to me it looks like a bar that is slowly dying.

I heard Pirates opened around the 6th November.

At first I imaged fetish bar like The Castle on the 3rd road but it's a normal bar with rooms.

I visited at 7:30pm and I saw 4 hostesses.

All drinks prices are almost the same as Club 4 and 007.

They open from 1pm till 1am.

Review from Dick Farang, November 2015: Piratesses

On Soi Full Love Inn, off Soi Bongkod (Third Road Soi 18), in the same row as the infamous bars 007 and Club 4, a similar bar has opened: Pirates Hostess Club.

To be allowed in, you have to ring the bell. When I entered I was greeted by a disgusting cigarette smell, not a good start. The bar is spacious enough however.

The lighting level was not too high, but Pirates was not as dark as Le Carré Blanc or Le Téléphone. The background music was unobtrusive.

I noticed two other customers and some chubby to very chubby girls. The girl who approached me, spoke virtually no English, but I could find out she was 24 years old, had a 4-year-old son, had started working there two weeks ago and did not like anal sex. She had a big natural rack and very firm buttocks, but her pot belly turned me off. As she was kind enough I tipped her some 20-baht notes on her strategic zones.

Bottled Heineken 95 baht, no check bin , automatic tipping (no change returned).

Pot Hole

Soi Chayaphun

The long running Hot Man Bar on Soi Chayaphun was noted as a bit of rarity in Pattaya as its targeted customers were ladies. The bar did not survive the coronavirus lockdown, but a new venture has appeared perhaps continuing the tradition for something a little different.

Now Soi Chayaphun is locally known as Soi Pothole referencing a woeful history of road repairs. So opening a new bar referencing cannabis leaves on the sign rather shows a level of punnery that suggests that it may have farang ownership (or maybe joint ownership)...

The bar promises an Always Happy Hour too.

Retox

Soi Leng Kee

Beer bar and restaurant

Review from Malcolm, September 2015: Screening Success

Retox is a new bar on Soi Lengkee, right hand side towards 3rd Road.

Opened by the previous owner of he Irish Rovers on LK Metro. Very much the same as Irish Rovers but a lot smaller. All new with some tables outside and then through the doors into aircon lounge. Many big screen TV's.

When I walked up there Saturday around 7pm all the bars on the street were either empty or very few customers. When I got to Retox it was wall to wall customers probably due to Chelsea and Arsenal on the TV's.

I didn't see a menu but food is available and I've been told he does a very cheap breakfast.

Bottle of Singha was B60.

When I walked back down some of the other bars were showing the same football match and still quiet. Maybe some of his old customers have followed him but then again the new I-Rovers is busy so maybe it's the big screens and aircon that attracts customers

Nothing going on inside and just me and a couple of other customers sat outside. One of the girls came over and joined me and her English wasn't good. Asked her if it was still a gogo bar and she said 3 girls come on Thursday to dance.

Happy (not too happy) hour Singha B75

Beer bar in the complex 30m from 2nd Road.

From UP2U, Oct 2007: Chili Pepper Vodka!

Our bar is the only place in Pattaya where you can try Jelly Vodka and Pepper Vodka shots. Our famous parties are well remembered all over the world. Our customers take home sweet memories about time spent in UP2U Bar. Many of them come back year after year for great drinks, entertainment or else… We constantly update our picture galleries, please return to our web site and check our latest pictures for familiar and new faces.

As you know, most vodka will be sold as plain vodka. We have it, but our specialty is a Pepper Vodka. A Pepper Vodka looks like slightly reddish whiskey. As majority of people think, Russian and Ukrainian Pepper Vodka is the most popular remedy in those countries. Peter the Great was a great fan of pepper vodka. Connoisseurs say that it helps cure all diseases and ailments. They say it wonderfully helps at happy or sorrowful times. It is no use to argue with people, as they seem to be better aware of the issue.

Review from Dick Farang, November 2014: The Place 2 Bee too

On the corner of Third Road and Soi 19 Vikings Corner Bar has opened.

It is a long, narrow bar with two open sides.

It is owned by Tom from Norway who also owns The Place 2 Bee on Soi Lengkee.

Manager is Roger from Belgium who previously was the manager at The Place 2 Bee and before that owned a bar on Soi Buakhaow.

Several girls from The Place 2 Bee have been transferred to Vikings Corner Bar.

Personally I prefer The Place 2 Bee to Vikings Corner Bar.

Bottled Heineken 70 baht (at The Place 2 Bee 85 baht).

Review from Pattaya Talk , April 2009: Premiership

A great place to watch the Premiership football at the weekend They have six different screens each showing a different game so your likely to catch your team. The food wasn’t great though.

Review August 2007: Your Typical Pub

Strange for a themed pub but the restaurant appeared a little formulaic. There are several 'English' pubs in Pattaya, none of them offer hostesses for a chat with your meal, all expect you to be interested in the sport on TV and all seem to buy their meals from the same microwave/Boil in the bag catering suppliers.

Still the service was good, the meals were inexpensive, they were perfectly good quality and had good sized portions.

Now if only I could find an 'English' pub that would supply a pretty dinner companion.

Pattaya bars most likely to be listed are those that occupy a permanent looking standalone building. Beer bars in complexes will not be listed unless mentioned in dispatches. Gay/Thai/Karaoke bars are not listed due to a lack of expertise in those areas. Gogo bars are listed on a separate page. I have added food reviews but this is not a comprehensive service. I will only list eateries where people have submitted comments

The following reviews are those that I come across on the web, in guide books, from contributors and of course from my own visits. Reviewers may be unreasonably harsh and bar owners may present a rosy picture of their bars...so don't take everything at face value...go and see for yourself. Click on the street name to obtain a map of the bar area.

Previously the notes included guidelines on barfines and asking prices but in recent times these have become less standardised and at the top end it is now more or a less an unbounded negotiation.

And a couple of words of warning:

• In short time rooms...keep an eye on your wallet to ensure that it stays with you long time.

• To those with Thai wives, be aware of the motor cycle taxi network used to keep tabs on errant husbands.

If anyone would like to add a review or information please email Dave at webmaster@pattayagogos.com
