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. If anyone would like to add a review or information please email Dave at

Opened
in October 2017 and describes itself as a bar and guest house but would be better described as a gentlemen's lounge.
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.
Single unit.
about 6 decent girls working, one of which tried her best with me. Music was very loud. Singha a whopping B95. I think the new owner has forgot which Soi he's on when he did the price list. Only had the one
Opened during 2014. Open beer bar without ladies for takeaway. Must have Aussie connections with that name.
Listing checked in September 2019 noting that the bar has some good comments on Pattaya forums about value and friendliness.
Shophouse bar that was the victim of the July 2007 redevelpment in the centre of Soi Honey
Area 51
Soi Diana Inn
Coyote bar new for 2015. Closed for a while but re-opened in July 2018.
Review from Malcolm, September 2015: Decent loookers
Area 51 is a new Coyote bar on Soi Dianna Inn. Right hand side towards the Soi Buakhao end.
Everything is new inside. When you go in the bar is on the right. 2 chrome poles on the bar with 2 girls dancing dressed in shorts and a top.
Customers can sit at the bar or at one of the many tables.
Decent looking girls.
2 pool tables to the rear. Separate ladies and gents toilets at the back.
Singha was B95 and LD B140.

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.
English owned and run by Alec and Lynne. Full Thai and English menu including
breakfast. Open from 10am for food and beers. Late night bar with pool table and live sport on TV.

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.
Long running restaurant/bar, Crazy Dave's, closed in 2015 and became Boars Head. Listing checked in September
2017.
Review from Malcolm, September 2015: Friendly
Crazy Daves is now called Boars Head on Soi Chayaphun. Dave left after around 13 years there. Now owned by Andy and his Thai wife
who used to be the Chef of the old Stags Head before it became Oscars on LK Metro. Very friendly couple.
Has good rooms upstairs from B7500 per month. Food available at reasonable prices.
Singha B65. No
girls at the moment. Average toilet.
Live music bar, previously Outback Bar. See also Darcy's Bar
Comments from Boomerang Bar, May 2013:

The popular Aussie bar on 3rd Road near the Buffalo bar has been closed for a week. It seems that the authorities have closed it for 30 days due to unpaid "sign tax". The bar will re-open on August 21st
Review from Pattaya Today: Night March, April 2006: Victoria Bitter
The bar is owned and run by Aussies. The girls are a mixed bag, but most are
friendly and would suit most tastes.
There are two free pool tables for customers to use. The music is brilliant, from a time prior to the advent of house/trance/techno/hip hop.
60 Baht standard bottled beers, soft drinks 40 Baht, spirits
80 Baht. Imported Fosters & Victoria Bitter are available
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.
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.
Bulldog Bar
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.
News April 2014: Merger
The bar
has closed and is being merged into Champagne. The resulting 4 unit bar will be called the Champagne and Malibu Club.
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.
New Thai style pub
with live music and DJs opened in autumn 2012. Reported to have connections with the Gulliver's chain. Didn't last long and closed in February 2013.
Carré Blanc Le Club
Soi Full Love Inn (running east off 3rd Road opposite Soi XZyte)
From 1pm-midnight
Private club. Previously Stupid Cupid & Pantry Bar. Bottled beer 90 Baht. Lady drinks
130 Baht
Review by Dick Farang, August 2016: Moving
The infamous Carré Blanc has moved from Third Road Soi 33 to a double-unit shophouse on Soi Full Love Inn. On the same strip are also the
single-unit shophouses 007 Gentlemen's Club, Club 4 and Pirates Hostess Club.
Soi Full Love Inn is off Third Road Soi 18/Soi Bongkod. Note that on the signs the street name is rendered as "BONG KOCH", which is an
incorrect transliteration as the 10th Thai consonant chor-chaang ( ช ) is pronounced as a "ch" at the beginning of a syllable, but as a "d" at the end of a syllable. The easiest way to get there is following the big signs of the
Full Love Inn motel from Third Road or also from Soi Arunothai.
At "le nouveau" Carré Blanc the door was opened before I could find a doorbell.
On the left-hand side is a big bar counter with bar
stools. On the right-hand side are small booths that can be curtained off.
The new premises are much brighter than the old ones.
The females were the hardened-pro kind. No top quality, at least not in the
looks department.
I was told that for a lady drink they would remove one piece of clothing. As they were wearing bras and pants underneath that could become an expensive experience..
I was also told they
have rooms upstairs at 300 baht (barfine included) and 1,000 baht for a three-hole experience was expected.
A group of men were chatting together and nothing exciting was happening.
Bottled Heineken 100
baht.
Review by Malcolm, January 2013:
Pretty much a B/J bar. One end of room was curtained off for blow jobs. Not private though, there were 3 guys getting entertained. 500B for girl, 300B to bar.
130B for lady drink and 50B for Singha
Review by Xitroen, July 2010: A Friendly Warning
But some three weeks ago the sign changed and it became Le Carré Blanc , The White
Square in English. I knew nothing about this bar at the time, but later I spotted it in a free French newspaper. I learned from an advertisement that it is a French bar and a private club. And in Pattaya, private club means unbridled sex...
And that is what you seek, is it not, my fellow perverts?
For English speakers who do not know France, the white square is a French institution that no longer exists but remains in the collective memory of many men approaching their
fifties. The white square was introduced on French television in March 1961, shortly after the airing of the film The Execution , by Maurice Cazeneuve. The film featured a few seconds of a female nude. Shame! And to see a nipple
under De Gaulle was taboo! No joke!...
Which means that, today, only the French understand the meaning of the name of this club ... The name is not entirely original though as some bars and discos also use the name in France.
So last night
I went there at 23h. On entering all the girls turned to me and purred hello and welcome , almost like a choir singing... hardly discreet... But I loved it!
Maybe a little curious though as it is not often that Pattaya customers are so well
received and with such warmth! The place is relatively small, with a cozy atmosphere. On entering, you see the bar, it is square (but not white!). Towards the back left are large comfortable black sofas with small glass tables and screens to hide a
little of what's happening there in the name of discretion.
In front of the bar are some small round tables. Everything is simple and clean. The atmosphere is provided by dimmed lights which are very relaxing on the eyes. Good music (sometimes
French) and not too loud to talk without having to scream, unlike some other places ...
The principle of the Le Carré Blanc is simple: you can do anything you want with whom you want, where you want and however you want.
Before I
left I visited the rooms that are well kept and clean, nothing more to say there.
I paid 300 baht for the Barfine, 500 to the girl and for the drinks, everything is very reasonable and honest.
News from HJ, June 2010: Fun in
the Club
According to the sign and a notice on the bar door said that it was open from 1pm to midnight but the door was locked and curtained. There was also a notice on the door to say it was a private club.
At another
nearby Bar I was informed that it had changed hands and that the new managers were French and had been running the Telephone Bar.
Many people were complaining about the beer prices and the lady drinks at 150bt each but that none of the ladies wore
underwear and they would strip off for fun in the Bar if the customer paid the 300bt Bar fine.
It would appear that most of the customers are French and the ladies older ones from the Telephone Bar.
The Castle
3rd Road (half way between Pattaya Klang & Pattaya Tai near the Buffalo Bar)
The prices add up to
4500 Baht for an hour of fun. Customers have the choice of a fuck session with a slave girl or else an hour with an unfuckable mistress who offers various levels of torment. There is a dress code requirement to wear black. Reviews are generally very good
from those who have partaken.
If you enter the club you have to buy one drink, of
your choice, priced at 950 baht. The casual bar hopper will be shocked at this, cry rip off and leave. That is what they want.
When you first come inside you will be directed to the small bar that is in the main entryway. You will order your
drinks and the ladies will come out. They do not have a lineup, instead they have a little show.
After the show the ladies will come over to you. If you want them to show you around the club one of them will although there is an expectation that
you will buy a lady drink. Lady Drinks are not cheap-250 baht.
The main bar area has a bondage chair and a caged off area, in the back, is a full bedroom with bed, wall mounted bondage X and a full bathroom. There is a small circular room with no
door and just a small area to sit with chains. There's also a large bondage room with a variety of equipment: a Gynecologic exam table, a police lock up box replica, stocks , a mini schoolroom with desk and blackboard, a bondage X and T and a variety of
specialty bondage furniture. The club also has all kinds of toys, ropes and whips.
Short times and barfines are available at higher than normal prices reflecting perhaps the specialist practitioners.
The Castle is a terrific Fetish Club.
Review from Pattaya Polecat, March 2007: Hit Me Baby One More Time
If, like the Polecat, you’ve been putting off going to The Castle because of the high prices, or because you’re scared of getting
a damn good thrashing, think again. The Polecat’s just lost his Castle cherry, and is now manically putting aside all his little silver bahts for the next visit.
Fun Town's first fetish establishment,
called The Castle, opened its rather imposing heavy door for business in late December 2003. It specifically caters for those whose tastes in fashion run to whips, chains, PVC, latex, and leather.
The place was opened by the same French management
who operate a similarly-named fetish joint in Bangkok. The gear, which also includes nurse and schoolgirl uniforms is being supplied by Pattaya's premier fashion house Boutique Sexy (their showroom is in Naklua Soi 33).
In order to get punters in
the right sado-masochistic mood, the first drink in the place will set you back 900 baht. All drinks after that are just a trifling 200 baht. The management stress this is not a drinking bar; it is a place for like-minded people to come and indulge in
their favourite fantasy. To really keep the screws turning, there is definitely no copulation on the premises, no matter how excited you might get over the sight of a couple of latex-clad damsels beating each other with an overripe cucumber. If you want
to engage in something un-natural like sexual intercourse then fork out the 1,500 baht bar fine and take your leather feather duster and your lady back to your place.
The Castle has a dress code of which the colour black is one of the necessary
component parts. It opens at 5:30PM and closes at 2:00AM and at present has a staff of around 14 dominatrixes/submissives who have been trained by an Englishman. A lady drink is a suitably humiliating 250 baht, but the bar has a strict policy dissuading
damsels from asking for a libation. The choice is completely up to the customer.
The Cave

News, December 2014: Customer drinks at lady drink prices
It has been reported that the bar charges lady drink premium prices for Thai female
customers accompanying farangs. The lady may have no connection with the bar but is paid a lady drink commission as an incentive (at the farang customer's expense) for her to bring custom to the bar.

News from Dick Farang, December 2016: Gone to the wolves
On Soi LK Metro, where Club Malibu used to be, is now Champagne Coyotes , a glass-fronted beer bar. From time to time
one or two coyotes were performing on top of the counter. I could not be arsed to waste time and money there. I wonder when they are finally going to send those "coyotes" back to the prairie, where prairie wolves belong.
Charlie Bar at the Charlie Place hotel, corner of Soi Dianna and Soi Buakhao has gone. They have moved the reception desk to the front where the bar was and put a self service fridge at the
back. It has been bought by the Nikom Court on the opposite corner who have the same system but lounge area there is much bigger with plenty of tables and the Soi Dianna food stalls at that end also serve into Nikom Court lounge as well as to the street
and you can also take other food in. I don't think that Charlie Hotel's self service fridge will be as busy as Nikom Courts

Review by Dick Farang, February 2017: Lust
On Soi Full Love Inn one more hostess bar with doorbell has opened: Sin Club.
As most bars on that strip (i.e. with the exception of Le Carr39 Blanc which is double unit and Pirates which is one and a half unit) it is a narrow single-unit bar.
On the signs the name is spelt both
Sin Club and Club Sin .
The bar appears to be part of Bryan Flowers's empire.
(On the same strip another smallish, presumably Japanese themed, bar by the same group is taking shape: J
Club.)
The layout of Sin Club is nothing to write home about: a bar counter with bar stools on the right-hand side and one curtained-off area to the rear.
I was their only customer and saw about six
mediocre girls around the thirty-year mark.
Barfine 300 baht, room upstairs or curtained-off area downstairs included, FS 1,000 baht.
Verified December 2013. Beer bar opened autumn 2007. Swish looking bar with
attractive seating and fittings. The bar sign stands out too. Listing checked in September 2017.

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..."
Coyote bar opened on
16th March 2012. The bar switched to GoGo in mid 2013 but that didn't work out and it closed at Christmas 2013. The bar re-opened as a coyote bar under new management on 8th February 2014 and later became an A-GoGo. See
Destiny on GoGos list
Hells Club reopened as The Devil's Den on Friday 15th May 2009.
News from Devils Den, October 2011: Day of Rest
In keeping with the Devil's Den commitment to both customers and staff, we have decided to change our hours of business. Effective from the 1st of November 2011, we will be closed on Sundays. Our Monday through Saturday hours of operations
will continue to be from 1:00 pm until 12:00 Midnight.
The Devil's Den also runs on a
one price model. You pay one price and that covers everything. There are no barfines, lady drinks or other costs that so commonly add up on a visit to any other place in town. There are no hidden charges or surprises. Tipping is also absolutely NOT
required or expected. (The ladies will take them, though.) The Devil's Den always requires that you have two ladies-that is included in the one price. And the Devil's Den give you 90 minutes.
After getting the rundown, the ladies will come in for
a lineup. The ladies come out and line up for your review. You will notice that some of the ladies are to the left and some to the right of a yellow line. The ladies on one side do anal and the ladies on the other side do not. The ladies also do a
variety of other things. (like golden showers, ect.)
After selecting the ladies you will go upstairs to a room. The rooms are nice. They all have televisions with vcr's that can play porn of your selection. Some of the rooms have swings for
use some do not. You will have fun. It's party time!
News September 2009: Raided
The bar has suffered another police raid by Immigration police. But re-opened 9th October 2009.
Review May
2009: Devilish
The bar now offers a booking service both for in-call and out-call
The bar specialises in multiple partners and multiple orifices. it is well worthwhile checking out their website for further details.
Traditionally the fun is with two girls guaranteeing a full 90 mins. They are equipped with toys and visual aids etc. The in-call all in price is 3600 Baht. Of course other combinations of number of girls and time are available.
The girls have
regular medical checks and the results are posted on the website.
Something of a unique feature of Pattaya that the owners suggest everyone should try once in their life. Plenty of forum posters seem to agree.
Review from Malcolm, September 2019: Rings the bell
Dre's Bar on Soi Buakhaw still going strong.
Singha B60 up to 7pm and B70 after. Dang the owner must be a good employer as most of the girls has been there for some years. Dang arrives mid afternoon
every day first thing she does is ring the bell and get all the customers a drink.
Review from Malcolm, September 2015: Floods of Girls
Dre's Bar on Soi Buakao,just around corner from Soi
Dianna. Spent a bit of time in there as I was staying over the road at Sutus Court.
Plenty of girls split into 2 groups. The ones in uniform just work in the bar. The ones in without a uniform can be barfined. Friendly lot.
Singha during day B55 and B65 in the evening. Ladydrink B100.
Food available at reasonable prices.
I waded over there Wednesday evening in the floods. Fortunately I only needed to paddle
back by 1am as the water had receded.
The bar
has recently changed hands and is in the process of a complete redecoration.
Review from Pattaya Chat, Feb 2007: Quiet
Decent budget priced rooms , decent looking bar area , some nice ladies on tow , but for
me kind of lacks a bit of atmosphere, crank up the music a wee bit more would be my advice. but it might have the atmosphere your looking for.
Pretty sure it is where the the old Monkey Club 1 was has now
opened as Duangjai Bar . Still a single unit.
Looks newly decorated. Pool table. 5 half decent girls working but I couldn't make up my mind about 2 of them, very tall but no hassle from them. Singha B70.
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.
Duangjai Bar
Soi Chayaphun
Ladyboy bar.
News from Dick Farang, February 2018: Moved
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.
Review from Malcolm, May 2012: Cornering the Market in Easy Bars
The Tee Ruk Bar on Soi Buakhao is now the Easy Corner Bar (not to be confused with Easy R Con Bar over the road). The bar is on
the dogs leg of Soi Buakhao towards the Pattaya Klang end
Easy Corner have knocked out the internal walls and moved the bar counter to the other wall. Beers are 55 Baht, English breakfast is 120 Baht. Pad Thai gai/moo 75 Baht.
There's a reasonable toilet.
Beer prices are reasonable too:
Chang: 40 Baht
Leo: 45 Baht
Singha, Heineken, San Miguel and Tiger: 55 Baht
Easy Rcon Bar
Soi Buakhao (at the dog leg towards the north end)
Guys sit outside, but it is not a gay bar. Thai women frequent here when they want a bit of fun. They buy the guys drinks and they can barfine them. Not cheap though, a beer is said to be 200B.
A bit off topic but
maybe useful if you are entertaining ladies
Beer bar with a notable bar sign: Liquor in the Front, Poker in the Rear. Returned after a refit. The
bars seems to be a little sporadic as to when it opens. Listing checked in August 2018.
Very well fitted out air con bar with very nice rooms for rent, pool table and music based, a few good girls too. l
First Bar
Soi Chayaphun
Short time bar with aircon. Had become Growling Swan by 2013
First's Gentleman's Club
Pattaya Soi 8 (central at back of beer bar complex)
Opened 30th September 2010. Previously First A-GoGo but now the dancers have been replaced by a pool table. The bar didn't take off and it closed shortly after.
BJ bar opened on 2nd November 2016. The bar has
ownership connections with 007
Drinks are from 60 Baht. BF 300 Baht (including room). from 1pm till midnight. Closed in July 2018 and is now up for sale.
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.
Live music & bar. Previously Embassy Pub. Closed in 2009.
Golden Time Gentlemen's Club
Soi Buakhao
The glass fronted ladyboy bar Surprise Yourself ladyboy bar has become the Golden Time Gentlemen's Club. There are ownership connections with Babylon Club.
Looks very well fitted out, has a couple of different draught
beers on tap. Done out like an English bar, air-conditioned and comfortable. It seems to have become instantly popular.
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.
Restaurant & bar lost out in the development of the Honey Inn in summer 2007. Maybe connected with Harry's Place that opened in a new block opposite, see below
Family Bar became Harry's Bar and Restaurant in 2015.
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.
For conviviality
only (no girls). A small bar frequented by mainly Brits and Aussies. Harry has been around the block a few times and is always good for a yarn.
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.
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!)
Short time bar
opened in December as Eden Club but closed a few days later due to bereavement. Within a few days the bar was reborn as Hell Club. The bar renamed as The Devil's Den and re-opened on 15th May 2009, see above
Guys sit outside, but it is not a gay bar. Thai women frequent here when they want a bit of fun. They buy the guys drinks and they can barfine them. Not cheap though, a beer is said

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.
Jie Jie Beer Bar . a double unit beer bar with Singha at B60. Called in last night and was jumped on by a not bad looking plumpish girl who decided she was going to maul me for the 20 minutes I was in there. Her: you like
massage . Me: No, no, I'm having a quiet beer But to no avail, still carried on mauling my arm and neck.
Called in this afternoon. Pleasant bunch of staff. Food available 24 hrs. Small
beers, Leo/Chang B45, Singha/Tiger B50, Large beers Singha B70, Chang/Leo B65. Always seems to be busy when I pass, probably due to the reasonable prices
Double unit. Also advertises massage. 2 ladyboys working as well
as a couple of girls. 1st ladyboy tried his luck and soon gave up but the second was a bit more persistent. Suddenly got busy at 8.30pm and I realised there was a pool match against the Boxing Roo. Music pleasant, not too loud. Singha reasonable at B60.
Owned by a friendly British guy.

The Keep
Pattaya Klang Plaza (Soi connecting 3rd Road and Soi Yume behind Carrefore)
A Fetish/Fantasy Club. A new and intimate fetish and fantasy club set in Pattaya. A place to enjoy, share and indulge your fantasies.
A place to experience a Mistress or command a Slave. A place to meet a girls dressed in various uniforms. Session prices 5000 Baht upwards for 2 hours.
King's Club blow job bar has taken over from Bliss Lounge at the 3rd Road venue opposite Soi Xzyte.
The bar has new owners and new prices, 500 for BJ and 400 for the room. The bar has connections to the Telephone Bar which specialise in fun in the bar.
24 hour bar and guesthouse. Parties, promotions, ladies, bottle service, live sports and free pool. Not a sports
bar. A party bar that shows live sports.
Scandinavian bar. Danish owned and welcomes bikers although not compulsory. You can miss it when walking past because it looks closed with the dark windows.
The model of dark, sleazy venues with old, ugly and often overweight wenches is a model that should never have been successful, yet it has been when, by default, there has, until now, been no other real
options. Lolita's Pattaya has well and truly raised the bar and the term gentleman's lounge is both appropriate and valid. Here's hoping that rather than bitch and moan and badmouth the venue, other operators pull their socks up and invest in
their own premises - and that this will be the first of many venues in this style. Lolita's in Pattaya is what the bars of soi 6, and other bars of this ilk, should be.
Review from Malcolm, Jan 2010: Expensive Lady Drinks
Lolitas on Soi LK Metro now 700B for BJ. Bought a drink for girl, bottle of something, didn't notice what coz of bott cooler. When the bill came (no bin) it was 185 Baht.
News from Lolita's, Oct 2009: Under New
Management
We are working hard to make your experience at Lolitas Pattaya the best ever! We have completed the remodelling of the lounge area and will be starting on the upstairs area soon.
We have also started a free Tuk
Tuk shuttle service at night that will pick you up at your hotel and return you. Just call the bar at 038-720-689 if you need a ride!
We have several promotions available that will appeal to you and we have added several new ladies.
Please
stop by and see the new look ...truly a Gentleman's Lounge where you can relax and enjoy yourself.
I noticed that the bar has been remodelled. I must say that the changes have given the bar a great look. There is more room to move around, they have a TV for sports now.
From the
Yellow Board , February 2006: Doing the Biz
Most girls were only average at best but they dress them up in the same plaid skirts and white blouses you
used to see at The Classroom gogos.
This is actually a real nice bar. The downstairs area has a bar, a pool table and a nice aquarium to divide the room and make it appear more cozy. A girl dutifully followed me in and took a drink order as I sat
down on a comfortable sofa.
We talked for a while. The bar isn't doing that well in Pattaya and the owners had set up a rotation schedule with the girls from the Bangkok Lolitas. The girl I met was from the Bangkok bar. She said this bar was much
much nicer, but she made more money in the big city. She asked if I wanted to "go upstairs". I inquired about rates. 600 inclusive, no tipping necessary.... unless I wanted to. So far so good.
For guys who don't like the exhibitionist
quality of the Soi Post Office bars, this is probably the place for you. The "upstairs" consisted of a hallway of about 10 short time rooms. The rooms are probably only 8 ft wide. Just big enough for a barber chair, the modern kind, a table and
a sofa.
Since we had privacy, I wanted to see her body. She seemed to think this was kind of unique and got into. She sat back in the barber chair and gave me some porno poses before getting down to action. She was very very good and I gave her a
200 baht tip.
I would have gone back several times and probably been a very good customer, but did not find the bar at all friendly, which may be part of why they aren't doing much biz.

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

We are trying hard to provide a cool hangout place in Central Patts. Free Wifi, Sports on TVs, good food, good music.
There's a promotion for January and February when new customers get a VIP card Free. 400 baht value.
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.

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

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.
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 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.

Nieuw Vlaanderen
Soi Buakhao (small soi opposite Pattaya City Hospital)
Bed & Breakfast Sports Bar & Restaurant
Mai Lu Si bar become Nieuw Vlaanderen Bed & Breakfast Sports Bar & Restaurant in January 2018.
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.
One of my favourites. Recently built with high class interior.
Best action is after
3am. Good place to take your Thai lady to she will love it. This place is quite similar to Differ. But go with some Thai people or you may not get inside. Its not a very farlang friendly place but if you live here you know how to act and behave with
respect.
The music is House / Club / RnB / Thai .
Drinking is fair priced eg Red Label 1litre 950 Baht mixers are 50 Baht each.

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
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.
Phoenix Bar opened on Soi LK Metro on 22nd February. Itis located near Devil's Den.

Warning Oct 2006: Hidden
Cameras
One of the the ladies in our party started to get naughty in our "private room"
There was a knock at the door of our "private room". And we were warned not to "do that". Turns out,
after one of the ladies went to see what was up, they showed her the video monitors. They monitor the rooms with a hidden camera to put a stop to "doing that"...
No sign, no warning just a hidden camera! Be warned.

Pirates Hostess Club

From 1pm till 1am.
Hostess bar opened inn early November 2015.
Review from Ishi, November 2015: Pirate's
Castle
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).

News from Malcolm, September 2017: Different worlds
The Pook Swan House P32 Bistro & Bar have taken over the single unit between themselves and Scooters and called
it Pook 2 Bar. I didn't go in because it was staffed by ladyboys as was the old Pook bar. Looks like the owners now want the best of both worlds.

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

Rin's Bar
Soi Pattaya New Plaza (Off 2nd
Road opposite to Soi 8)
Belgian owned bar. Closed by May 2017, but re-opened in August 2017.
Review from Dick Farang, March 2016: Belgian
On a corner on Third Road Soi 13 (aka Soi Naam Keng = Ice Street), not far from Soi Buakhaow, is a Belgian-owned bar: Road House 13.
The manager is Roger Braske from Wolvertem (Belgium), who, after running his own

The girls were not precisely youngsters.
Bottled Heineken 70 baht.
Rock Factory/Food Factory

Beer bar noted for the all day price of 35 Baht Tiger

location of the previous Swiss Ol้ in autumn 2009.
New for 2015. The theme is
UK mod culture from the 60s.
Cmment from Malcolm, May 2016: Silencer problem
Called in Scooters Bar, Soi Buakhao the other night . Didn't stay long. The music was far too loud. Couldn't have a
conversation.
Review from Malcolm, September 2015: Scooting around
Scooter's Bar on Soi Buakhao is next to the now closed Pook Bar.
It is very nice inside. A few full
sized scooters and walls covered in photos.. The English owner was giving instructions to a builder. and then was talking the staff but completely ignored the only customer, me. No price list but orange juice was 60 Baht.
Shanghai is open but not sure what as. Outside sign has happy hours from 10am to 8pm. Called in tonight, Tuesday at 7pm. 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
News from Dick Farang, May 2017:
Re-opened
After more than a year Shanghai on Soi Lengkee has finally (re)opened. It looks more like an ordinary beer bar than like a gogo and appears to close before midnight.
Shearers Blues & Sports Bar
Soi Buakhao
Beer bar, diner & guesthouse became a restaurant in late 2008.
Shoot Pool is an air con pool hall and sports bar (hassle free families welcome) with top quality imported wiraka pool tables and large screen for all the major sporting
events.
Beer prices are from 45 baht and believe that our prices are very reasonable for an air con bar.

The Thirsty Camel
Review from Malcolm, September 2019: Aussie
What was Snippets on LK Metro next to Scooters is now The Thirsty Camel Bar & Cafe .
Called in on my
last night. Quite busy, ended up sitting at a table at the front where the girls sit. An attractive bunch, no hassle from them. Presumably still Aussie owned as there was an Aussie fag on the wall. Singha a reasonable B65.
Took over from the relocated Barbie Bar before May 2017. Versified again in September 2017.
Review from Malcolm, September 2017:
Old friends
When I went in, one of the old staff from the original Barbie Bar recognised me. All three staff were from there. Friendly but getting on a bit. Singha very reasonable at B95 for two. One other
customer when I went in but he left and I was the only one in for hour I was there.

Since there is a structural shortage of lesbian/bi
ladies in Pattaya, it may be useful to no that a girl here, Orn is a lesbian, she -purely for economic reasons- also caters for men and I do have to admit that she gives a hell of a BBBJ!
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.

To Now by May 2017 and then Shaggers in November 2019
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.
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.
