Noon - Midnight

Short time bar with about 70 girls. Previously the Harley Pub

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Feb 2007: All Veterans

This used to have some lovelies but sadly disappointed... Around 8-10 girls... all veterans... Had a chat with two of them... very funny and pleasant... but about as sexually stimulating as Mrs Doubtfire... They admitted most of the ''sexy'' girls had gone away with farang or gone home already....

  Jan 2005:

The Harley bar is big. It looks like an old fashioned Western themed bar you might see in Arizona. They have 3 or 4 pool tables in the back. If you decide to take a girl, there is a 150 baht bar fine and 200 baht for a ST room in the hotel. The rooms are nice since it is a relatively new hotel. Red silk sheets.

I asked the girl how much and she asked me why I was asking and then quoted 1000 Baht (going rate is 700). They had some good looking girls though

  July 2004:

Suffered the uninvited and ego sapping attractions of the oldest woman in the bar who would not go away even when given the cold shoulder treatment. Only option is to leave. Why on earth do the managers allow this to happen. Never again...even though it is my local short time bar.

Elephant Bar

Pratamnak Road: Soi 4

Restaurant

  News Jan 2007: Restaurant Expansion

The bar area is now completely restaurant seating. Unfortunately it looks a little like motorway service area seating. There is a live band though to up the stakes.

  News Aug 2007: More Works

The builders are in. The bar is being extended down one side. It looks like an auditorium like affair is being built in the bar area at the back

  News July 2006: Elephant A-GoGo

The bar has installed facilities for GoGo dancing. Reportedly open already but I haven't seen any reviews yet.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, April 2006: Big Breakfast

The food at this place is top notch cafe/pub style grub. The portions are huge, decor ok and no air con. It's hard to beat if you are in that area and just want a good feed. It is also linked with the Chippy which is as good a fish and chips as I have had in Pattaya. Well priced too and always busy.

I have eaten in many places in the world but I have to say the Breakfast is so big, you actually can't finish it no matter how much you try.

It gets my vote for quality, value and good people who run it

  Summer 2005: Chippy

Decorated with Irish sporting memorabilia but the British Premiership also gets a fair representation.

The bar features a chippy with a takeaway service if you desire. There is a restaurant with a choice from the chippy and also a full Farang & Thai menu.

The food was good, not quite real chip shop chips, but closer than any other I have tried in Pattaya.

There is also an inner sanctum bar with a pool table

Free Drop Bar

Pratamnak Road: Soi 4

Beer bar

  From David, March 2006: Why Not Drop In

A nicely made and appointed bar/restaurant managed by a pleasant Irishman. Draught Kilkenny, Heiniken and Cider.

On two floors with two pool tables on the second floor. The toilet is also up there - a steep staircase - so go easy on the canned Guinness. Also has golfing connections, internet room and free book swap.

Pleasant, quiet location with the right prices for food and drink.

Freeway

Pratamnak Road
(100m up the hill and then down a short drive)

Short time bar. Originally Freeway, then renamed Star Meeting Point but reverted to Freeway before closing in the summer of 2007

  News Feb 2007: Freely Changing Name

Freeway used to be classed as a gogo but declining numbers meant that the regular dancing was dropped. The bar tried to re-invent itself as Star Meeting Point but has now reverted back to Freeway.

A new manager has taken the reins and intends to revitalise the bar starting off with an offer of 30 Baht draft beer.

It is a very attractive bar so a little bit of energy and a few attractive girls may be all that is needed.

Hollywood Discotheque

Pattaya Tai in soi near vegetable market

Night club popular with the gay community. Now closed and will relocate to Soi Phet Trakun in North Pattaya. It will then be called New Hollywood.

  From Pattaya City News, Oct 2006: Blazing Hollywood Entrance

In May of 2004 a fire engulfed the entrance of Hollywood Discotheque located in South Pattaya. A problem with the exterior lighting was blamed for the fire which luckily resulted in no deaths or major injures.

In October 2006 it happened again as the entire entrance to the club was engulfed in flames. The fire occurred at around  as staff were arriving for work. There were no customers inside the club and once again, no injuries or deaths were reported.

Firefighters were quickly on scene and once again found it difficult to gain access to the fire because of the location of the club and the narrowness of the access roads. Eventually the fire was brought under control and the damage was accessed and the cause of the fire was put down to an electric short circuit.

Ibiza

Pratamnak Road
(near junction with Thappraya road)

Disco In the previous re-incarnation this night spot was noted for being the one that boogie through dawn.

  News July 2007: Dark

It seems that the latest incarnation was not a success and the venue is once again dark. Strangely resonating with bar closure problems on the Spanish island of the same name.

Jade Club

Thappraya Road: Soi Jomtien Nivate

1pm-8pm

Short time bar in an attractive garden/swimming pool setting

  Review May 2008: Oldies

The bar seemed to be in a party mood but the girls were enjoying their own company. An old and unattractive lady attached herself to me so I shooed her away. When another oldie joined me as a replacement, I figured it was time to be off

  News Feb 2007: Expensive

The bar seems to have dropped out of favour a little as the girls now ask for 700 Baht + 300 for the room. The Wednesday afternoon BBQ is free for anyone who buys a drinks ticket for 200 Baht. Drinks prices are reasonable at 60 Baht for a bottled beer.

  Review from David, March 2006: Club-House

The German owned short time bar is known as Jade Club and the rooms are in the associated hotel, Jade House.

Jade House is a guesthouse/small hotel with about 30 rooms - about 10 of them in a small 3 storey apartment block. There is a restaurant and pool and it is very nicely laid out. The boss is popular with his staff.

Jade Club has an aircon bar but loud music and a garden sitting area. Wednesday afternoons are to be avoided as it is very popular as barBQ day.

A pleasant place. with mostly German clientel.

  January 2006: GoGo Girls

Even in the high season an excellent location. Many good looking girls as many of them work at GoGos in the evening. So, it is recommended to come before 17:00h as later girls will leave. One gets here the ladies for 500,- while in the evening the same girls cost at least triple.

  Summer 2005: Hidden Away

It is a little tricky to find. Travelling from Pattaya Beach, up the incline of Thappraya Road, a small lane named "Jomtien Nivate" drops down to your left (And as previously mentioned on this board has a "Jade house" sign. There is also a prominent spaghetti for 80 baht advert). About 150m down this lane, turn right into a smaller lane which leads you straight into the Jade House. The House itself has some seating outside and is on a raised level, perhaps 50m down this smaller lane.

ade House is a typical short time place inside like on Soi 6, but with a lot of bungalow style rooms for rent, some of which are used for short times....kind of like Welkom Inn does. Jade House should have someone for just about everyone's taste, and the 5 I sampled all were good to excellent performers.

Bar closed by November 2006

Kinnaree Palace

389/110 Moo 12
Pratamnak Road: Soi connecting mid Soi 4 to Soi 5

1pm-9pm

Afternoon short time bar billed as a gentleman's club

  Review May 2008: Plush

This must be one of the most attractive bars in Pattaya. It is new and purpose built with a feeling of luxury.

Having passed through the enormous hallway one finds a choice of 3 drinking/smooching areas. There is the main bar, an aircon room and also the garden.

The ambiance is relaxed and the sofa seating is very comfortable.

There are about 25 girls in attendance circulating around. There are plenty of pretty drinking partners but there also a few to avoid. They seem a friendly and lively bunch.

Drinks prices are typical for Pattaya and there were free rather good sandwiches into the bargain.

There are plenty of good quality rooms on hand and a Jacuzzi somewhere too.

Rooms are 300 Baht with no further barfine. The girls expect 1000 Baht. The takeaway barfine is set at 500 Baht.

There's plenty of car parking space in front of the bar.

The Lion Pub

3rd Road Soi 17
(half way to Theprassit Road)

Short time bar

  October 2005:

The way this bar is run is weird even by Thai/Pattaya standards. The attention you get seems to depend on whether the boss is in the bar when you drop in. No boss there today so the only entertainment I had was scratching my balls on an otherwise empty plastic sofa and gawking at a muted TV. The ten or so girls present were chatting among themselves, smoking and mobiling.

  September 2005:

Some attractive, well built and friendly girls. Their ST room/shower is the best I have seen in a long, long while.

  2004:

A lot of fun on a party night. About 20 mostly attractive girls keep the customers entertained by party games and dancing.

Perhaps they spend too much time entertaining and not quite enough chatting with the customers.

On a subsequent non-party night I was treated like a leper.

Pattaya brochure review February 2006: Country music

With a Western theme and probably the best Isaan food in town. Has a Luk Tung band (Thai country music with lots of crying and drunken wailing). Good stuff.

Also notable as the location of my wedding reception!

Manhattans Steakhouse

482/1-4 Thappraya Road

081 293 0490

Restaurant

  Review from Thai Visa, Dec 2006: World Class Expensive

The deco and atmosphere was fantastic. A real classy feel to the place. A pre-dinner cocktail was 415 Baht (menu price 350 Baht + 10% service and 7% tax).

Starters from 415 Baht
Steaks starting at 1750 Baht (+ vegetable side orders at 110 Baht each)

The meal was very good, but no better than the Mata Hari, Posidon or Queens all within a small distance of this Manhattans.

  Review from Thai Visa, Dec 2006: US Prices

I've had nothing but good reports from my friends who have dined here. It's been my experience that quality steakhouse restaurants are not available in Pattaya and that includes the ones mentioned above. My friends report that some of the side a la carte dishes are nothing special and can be avoided if you want to cut-corners on the tab.

The prices are equivalent to a good quality steakhouse here in the U.S. (not that bad considering cost to import quality beef).

Mini Golf Pub

Thappraya Road
(near junction with 3rd road)

Restaurant with mini golf course

  January 2006:

Belgian run. The mini golf course has become very shabby over the last few years due to lack of maintenance. The expensive menu has remained. I would guess it will be up for sale and the site redeveloped soon. Shame as there are not many minigolf courses (not tried Nova Lodge yet). Cost of a round is 100 Baht/person. Putter, scorecard and pencils included.

Aircon pool hall and sports bar

  From Shoot Pool, Sep 2007: Pool Hall

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.

We have a good clientele of expats and holiday makers that keep coming back.

Soho Bar

Thappraya Road (Pattaya end opposite Mini Golf Pub)

From 5pm

Short time bar opened 13th March 2007. The new bar is associated with the popular El Coyote in the Jomtien Complex.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, June 2007: Good Atmosphere

Some very nice girls, usually 4-6 on duty. Drinks are cheap, the atmosphere good and girls friendly. The music is good. Room/barfines are 300 with 750 short time.

I think it's well worth a visit and plan to go back again soon.

  Review March 2007: Soho Walk Up?

Good to see a new short time bar opening in an area of town without so many bars.

From a UK slant, the name Soho, does little for me except conjure up an image of clip joints and establishments best avoided.

Still I braved the prejudice and found a pretty standard beer bar layout with bar stools rather than the far more inviting sofa affairs. The bar is long and narrow and decorated with many pictures from London.

The bar could do with a little privacy perhaps by closing the main door. But then again, as there is no air con, then perhaps it would get unpleasantly hot.

Even after chatting for a while I found it a little hard to believe that short time was the aim of the bar. None of the girls chatting to customers appeared to be getting down to anything very sexy. In fact the girl chatting to me was hardly what you could call attentive or enticing.

Other little things to iron out were that the music was a little loud and that the best looking girls were baggsed by the owner and friends. There were plenty of girls to go around though.

Bottled beer was reasonable at 65 Baht, soft drinks were 50 Baht & lady drinks 105 Baht. There is also Tiger draft beer. I didn't ask about the short time prices as didn't want to give my inattentive drinking partner false hope.

Still early days but I rather suspect that the hardened short timers will stick with the more discreet and comfortable Jade Club just up the road.

My drinking friend did make one good point: Do you know any short time bars on a main road? Made me ponder a while but there is the Buffalo bar on 3rd Road, albeit set back a bit.

Tel 038 427101

www.tigglebittiestavern.com

Beer bar opened in autumn 2006

  Review April 2007: Pirates & Bras

Tigglebitties is a large beer bar with plenty of stools at the bar and and plenty more dotted around the many tables and dancing poles.

The decor is naval and pirates complete with hanging bras, presumably the pirates booty. The bar is only partially enclosed from the street so there is no feeling of privacy.

There were several girls on hand, of which a couple were attractive. But they did not make the slightest effort to get any better acquainted beyond what would you like to drink?

Pleasant enough but surely a little disappointing to those reading the promotional material. This suggests that the bar sees itself as The Buffalo Bar but better.

Thappraya Road: Soi 12 (soi Pattaya Park)

Bar & restaurant that briefly opened in Spring 2007 when the soi was well used by Russian tourists staying at Pattaya Park Hotel. The Russians now seem to have deserted so the bar closed.

Disco

 Review from Pattaya Secrets, Jan 2007: Nice Looking

I decided to check out the Yensabai Marine disco in the Yensabai Marine Mansion this morning around 4:15am. I walk in to a very nice building, went up one floor where I was greeted buy two cuties. One escorted me into the disco. There are like five people in the place. It's a huge nice looking room but no customers.

Z (back to top)

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.

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

Takeaway Prices

July 2007:  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
