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.

123 Bamboo Bar Sukhumvit: Soi Khao Noi |
123 Bamboo Bar
Comments by FG, Sep 2007:
Create Your Own Fun
Parking – Open-air Bar – Garden-tables - all is well
looked after and making a comfortable stay with accommodating service
(girls). A/C rooms and shower across corridor are all excellent and
spacey – marble flooring.
European owned, managed by Thai consort. Definitively
positive in every aspect – pricing appropriate. Excellent and discretely
piped in music from the sixties to the nineties. Fun, entertaining from
midi to mid-night. This is the place where you create your own fun and
luck!

Cheap Booze
On left hand side opposite Family Mart. Small "local" bar, cheapest
booze around. A place to wind down with a couple to start an evening.
Not the place if you are horny...

Black Pearl Bar Siam Country Club Road
(8+km from turn off from Suhkumvit) |
Black Pearl Bar
Short time bar
Review from OutForABeer, May 2007: Doesn't Care
This is a very large bar where the girls know how to
have fun. Open very early to very late.
From David, March 2006:
Off Course
Black Pearl bar has only six mediocre lassies left and 3-5 customers
per day - the closing for one year of Siam Country Club Golf Course has
not helped. Decor and management is Thai-style. Room is 200 Baht a shot,
and the "girls" don't warrant much more than that. Another
one to avoid

Best Seen in the Dark
Very large open bar yet very dark inside. Girls get naked and would
probably do whatever you tell them. Last time I visited they weren't so
pretty though, there is a house for short time

Black Pearl 2 Bar Off Siam Country Club Road

Black Pearl 2 Bar
Short time bar
Travel up Soi Siam for approx 7 kms, you will go past a golf driving
range on the left. Take your first left after this driving range (cross
roads), follow this road right to the end and turn right, BP2 is approx
50/100 yards on your right.

Butterfly Bar

Free buffet on Tuesdays |
Butterfly Bar
Short time bar
Review from OutForABeer, May 2007: Doesn't Care
Butterfly always seems to change. Some days the staff
seems happy, other days not. I have been the only customer in the bar
and barely got a hello.
Decent music and aircon. Clean rooms available.
The bar needs to advertise a bit, you get the feeling
the owner doesn't care whether or not he is breaking any records for
business
Review from
Pattaya Secrets,
June 2006:
Bamboo Telegraph
Nothing like it use to be. The recent closing of Siam golf club for
renovations has hurt it...but worse is what happened about 3-years ago:
A number of golfers (locals) would stop at the Butterfly for drinks and
a short time after playing a round. Then, they went home to their Thai
wives. One of the wives found out about the Butterfly, via the 'bamboo
telegraph' and contacted some of the other wives/. They met and decided
that the next time the husbands went golfing at Siam, they would go to
the Butterfly and wait for them to arrive after their game. In short,
the golfers arrived...and...well the shit hit the fan. Word spread and
few golfers in relationships would venture to the Butterfly!
News from David, March 2006: In the
Rough
Siam Country Club Golf Course is now closed and some lasses have left
the Butterfly Bar due to lack of business.
The free food afternoon has been changed from Mondays to Tuesdays.
February 2006:
It seems that the Siam Country Golf club is having a little difficulty
recruiting sufficient members and is considering a year off. This is
proving a worrying though for the short time bars on the route from
Pattaya. The Butterfly Bar in particular takes advantage of those 'just
going for a round of golf dear'.
January 2006:
Hardly any pretty girls, just average and worse. If one is not living
in the area, it's not worth the rather long drive.
Summer 2005:
One of the area's oldest but nowadays not one of the best. In
1992 Gerd Fohmann + consortium built the Thai Style Villa Hotel,
bungalows and bar. Very nice too but quite a way out of town. Mostly the
bar is used by golfers coming back from the nearby Siam Country Club
course. A shrewd member of the consortium, Werner, bought the bar off
Gerd and has run it successfully ever since.
In the bar, not too much
talent around and the only remaining ST room is very tacky to say the
least. Keep your flip-flops on in the shower or you will get a dose of
foot clap. Room 250 Baht and "girls" @ 600, 500, 400 Baht depending on
how many kids they've had, 6, 5 or 4.

Review from
Pattaya Secrets,

Friendly Aussie run place. A couple of seating pagodas in the front
garden, plus seating by the front bar with sensible seat sizes.
There is an outside bar area and an inside aircon area with a brand new
Pool/snooker table.
Drinks reasonable at 60 Baht for San Mig Lite for example. Chang 45 Baht
, GinTonic 80 Baht , lady drink 90 Baht .

(2+ km east from Suhkumvit)
1pm-midnight |
DAO Bar/Cafe
Short time bar
Review from Pattaya Addicts,
Aug 2007: Great Joint
For me The Dao bar on the darkside is a great joint at the moment,
15-20 girls, opens about 1pm till midnight, ST rooms available and
Heineken only 60 baht a bottle, this bar is a bit similar to the inside
of the Jade House is probably best way to explain it for those of you
who haven't been there.
Review from Andrew, Dec 2006: Cafe
Rates
Last visited this month (December). The ST barfine IS still 250 but
its a room hire rather than a BF as the girl will remain in the bar
after the deed.
The previous poster was either diddled (with lol) or paid the LT rate
but I can't confirm what that is.
7 or 8 girls in attendance all nice looking with at least 2 being
exceptional.
Review from David, July 2006: Barfine
Policy Not Fine
The bar fine is 400 Baht not 250 Baht. If you meet up with your girl
when the bar is closed for 24 hours the aggressive cashier will still
charge you 400 Baht as "she was not in her room". I don't know if this
is common practice but it has put me permanently off the place.
Getting to the bar up the atrociously maintained Soi 5 will also quickly
wreck your vehicle.
Euro food only available from 6pm onwards . Pizzas are good and all grub
can be taken away. Prices for solids and liquids are reasonable.
Review from jj, July 2006: Surprise
Agreement
Swung by DAO Bar on a weekday afternoon. I'd agree completely with
the "nice surprise" review. This is a cozy little bar with accommodating
if not overly responsive girls. I asked about the unused pole in the
middle of the room. Was offered a "show" for 500. Seems awful steep when
BF is only 250!
3 of the 6 girls were completely engrossed in the large screen TV. My
lady-of-the-hour insisted on echoing our conversation to her compatriots
hiding behind the bar. A little disconcerting but otherwise innocuous.
Shows a bit of promise and will be on my list of places to revisit but
not high up.
Review from
Pattaya Secrets,
June 2006: What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise. it was hidden in the back side of complex
containing a restaurant, swimming pool and a motel, Dao is nicely
decorated and quite spacious bar with 3 or 4 sitting areas with rattan
sofas and comfy chairs.
A single gogo type pole in the center, where the girls show their
talents from time to time, after a few taquillas...very dim lights and
good air condition...there are 8 girls on show, and all of them are
really nice and not pushy...all in mikro-mini jeans skirts last
night....groping ala soi 6 is a part of the deal and the girls are fun
to chat with. the motel rooms are conveniently used for short time.
Bottled beer at 60 Baht. Whiskey/vodka + mixer at 80 Baht. large bottle
of saeng som inc free mixers and ice - 600 baht. lady drinks are 80
Baht. short time bar fine is 250 Baht including room. Long time bar fine 500
Baht

Pattaya Secrets,
Jan 2007: Maybe Next Time
About 3 of the 10 girls were pretty, and very hands-on
playful. I felt all the girls were all tired and made a note to go back
around 2.00PM when the girls are fresh!
From
Pattaya Secrets,
June 2006: Maybe Next Time
Good location, out of the way. Great potential.
I went there last night and not impressed at all. The quality of girls
poor. The mamason's son was wondering in and out all the time. So no fun
to had with the girls. I was asked if I wanted to be entertained in the
swimming pool but I declined with the quality of the girls.
I will try and get there earlier next time and see if there is any
improvement.
From
Pattaya Secrets,
May 2006: What a Gem
What a gem!. French owned and nestled in a big house with a private
swimming pool (skinny dipping is allowed at all times...), a bar and a
number of sitting areas/arrangements dotted around the place....bar
stools, leather sofas, thai style Gazeebo and deck chairs around the
pool....we got there quite late and a few of the girls were off
entertaining but there were still 7-8 babes, some really presentable....
A perfect place for a private binge or a quiet evening of cheap
booze....barfines are 200 Baht and girlies are on "dark side" level of
pay ie up to you...

Lucky Time Bar
Bar with apartments
Review from Alex, Aug 2007: Lucky Find
The Lucky Time Bar is a haven away from the madness of
the major soi's. Owned by a Dutchman named Alex and his wife, they
welcomed us and treated us as friends and not just customers they helped
make me and my friends holiday
This is a family orientated bar frequented by Expats from all over the
world, It is well run and the perfect place to have a relaxed drink with
family or friends. The Bar is well airconditioned and has Pool/Darts and
Table Football to play, the friendly girls are more than happy to thrash
you at the game of your choice.
The food served is fantastic and very well priced as is the beer 60 baht
for an ice cold Singha (miss it already)
The girls are a really friendly bunch and there is no nicer feeling than
to come down in the morning and be greeted by your name
The Apartments are spacious and very well presented and you have both
aircon and a fan all are ensuite with daily cleaning service and towel
exchange and most importantly inexpensive
A previous review stated there were no short time rooms this is really
not that sort of bar. You are more than welcome to take ladies back to
the bar for a drink or to your room
I will definitely be stopping here again next year.

Well Managed
The girls that work there hardly ever get bar fined,
yet there are some good cuties there. It is a well managed operation,
has good food, plays good music and there are absolutely no hassles for
lady drinks.
Well worth a look, if you're out this way. No short time rooms though,
the first time visitor might not even realise the girls are available

Review from Matt, Dec 2007: Fresh
Out
I went in search of the "farm fresh talent" referred to by the
previous reviewer but didn't find any.
Instead I found 6 or 7 reasonably attractive girls attending to about
8 customers. A girl who I wasn't interested in and who spoke no English
assigned herself to me. The rest of the girls were busy with regulars
and I got a great view of the backs of their heads.
There's nothing here that you can't find in hundreds of beer bars all
over Pattaya so unless you live very close by it's definitely not worth
a trip.
From
Pattaya Talk February 2006:
Snug
Decent bar, good music, good for farm fresh talent and normally has
around a dozen girls. Great short time rooms, pool room, snug room.
Worth a trip
January 2006: English Lessons
The turning off the Suhumvit is called Soi Boonsampan - no number on
the Soi sign. Soi Khao Noi is the extension after the railway crossing.
Pleasant and comfortable bar with lively, friendly ladies. Quite a few
have Thai boyfriends, so watch your step. If you want to talk to the
English boss, get there after 6pm. The lady that latched on to me was
interested only in learning English and looking for a rich farang aged
50 to 60, so I did not get to see the rooms which are charged at 300
Baht with the ladies quoted at 500 Baht or so for upstairs activities.
Bar prices reasonable. Mamasan a bit pushy with lady-drinks. If you get
hungry, there is a Thai restaurant next door on one side of the bar and
Ed's Chippy on the other.
Summer 2005:
Apparently the bar has been up and
running for some time, but only as a single shop house. In recent weeks
it has acquired the place next door and undergone a substantial refit so
that it now boasts an enclosed, air-conditioned section with comfortable
two-seater lounge chairs and the ubiquitous TV showing sport (generally
football). The 'old' bar has had a lick of paint and has the requisite
pool table, while seating out the front is stock-standard concrete
tables, good for watching the passing parade but tough on the posterior
after an hour or so.
The new management are a friendly bunch and, importantly, the serving
girls are a personable crew. As with most boozers the batting order is a
bit light on with around a half-dozen meeters and greeters, although
there should soon be a few more smiling faces warming the front pews.
The current girls are friendly in the way of women who have yet to be
exposed to the hard-ass attitude of many of their inner-Pattaya cousins
and their flowing white skirts are definitely fetching. Worth a look if
you happen to live in or be wandering around the area or just fancy
checking out the rooms for about an hour of relaxation.

Red Lion Pub & Restaurant
Sukhumvit: Soi Khao Noi (corner of Soi 13)
From 11am to 10pm |
Red Lion Pub & Restaurant
Pub & restaurant with no hostesses
Review from
Pattaya Today,
April 2007:
Seating is comfortable and cosy in the forefront with
a dining room to the left and a huge bar at the rear where drinkers can
sit and watch the big-screen TV.
The Red Lion has a leisurely opening at 11.00 am when the full range of
the pub’s breakfasts and morning snack foods can be enjoyed. The big
breakfast comes with unlimited tea or coffee and doubles up on
everything, i.e sausages, bacon, eggs, toast, masses of baked beans, all
the works. It costs B.150 for a Fred Flintstone start to the day with a
smaller one for Wilma at B.110.
Lots of traditional English options on the menu
including: sausages & mash, fish ‘n chips, scampi, and home-made fish
cakes, chicken tikka masala. There’s a special kid’s menu evoking
childhood memories with offerings of fish fingers, chicken nuggets or
sausages with chips and beans to please the juniors. The Thai menu is
huge presenting 86 dishes.
Review from jj,
May 2006: Restaurant & Pub
Not long after opening, I asked the owner (Adrian) if it was a bar
that served food or a restaurant that served alcohol.
He said he had aimed for the former but seemed to have achieved the
latter.
Food was quite good for a while then a change of cooks and an increase
in prices ran him off my list of restaurants, ie portions and taste not
up to the price.
Review from
Pattaya Secrets,
May 2006: No Girlies
About 200 yards after Pattaya Hill Village, on left hand side. large
English type bar. inside and outside dinner areas. Pool table. No
girlies. popular with Brits who live in the Moobans around it. Food
quite expensive for the location.

Review by jj, June 2007: "Easy"
Scottish Frank and his life-partner Pim have opened
the Scotland Yard bar on Soi Khao Dalo. It is located about 1km
from Sukhumvit, just beyond the 7-11.
If there is one word to describe Scotland Yard it is "easy". The
bar itself and the resident ladies are easy on the eye. The music is
easy on the ear. The drink prices are easy on the wallet. Frank hopes
his bar will also be easy to find.
Opening early (10am) and closing whenever, Frank will
likely be there to greet you when you arrive to imbibe.

Notes |
|
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.
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.

Short Time Edging Up
From
Pattaya Secrets
and tallies with my own observations
- Dancing Girl ... ST 1000 / LT 2000 (assuming good performance). I would suggest that you should be willing to add an extra
500 to the GoGo fee if you get stuck on a model class girl and
you find yourself unable to say no.
- Beer Bar Girl ... ST 500 / LT 1000 (quickie) to ST 700 /
LT 1500 (for an entire evening of effort)
- Street Freelancer ... ST 500 / LT 1000 (no questions, no exceptions)
- Short Time Bar Girl... Traditionally ST 500 with 250 for the room (+ small
tip for good service) but now edging up to ST 700 and 300 for
the room
