-5° Supperclub

Amari Nova Suites
Soi Soi Sukrudee
(North Pattaya soi off Pattaya Klang between 2nd & 3rd Road)

From 6pm

www.amari.com

Lounge, restaurant and club. Drinks are 120 Baht for bottled Heineken. 180 Baht was later reported for a bottle of Singha

  From Pattaya Secrets, Feb 2008: Ice Room

It costs 500 baht to go into the Ice Room (jackets provided) for 25 minutes. During this 25 minutess you can apparently order as many Vodka shots as you want free of charge.

The Supper Club is an all white room with a sunken bar in the middle which is encircled by alcoves in which you will find large mattresses to lay, slouch, sit on. Shoes off of course. In the middle of the mattress is a small table 6 inches high from which you eat your food. Each mattress will hold about 6 - 8 people.

The menu is mixed at around 1000 baht for 3 course or 1300 for 4 course. There is no 'Thai' food as such.

IMO it is a very stylish place that would be best enjoyed with a group of friends.

...and a few very beautiful service girls

 From Pattaya Secrets, Jan 2008: Electro/Funky

I went to this fantastic bar the weekend. The music, mixed by a live DJ is really electro/funky and the ambience is truly unique for Pattaya.

It felt very Japanese in as far as you take off your shoes and chill out on these really comfortable big white sofa’s. The whole room is bright white but the special design of lighting ensures that the colours change every few minutes.

A great place to take a special girl, I wouldn’t recommend you go with your mates. The drinks are pricey, B120++ for a small bottle of Heineken, but don’t be put off by that, its truly worth a visit.

  From -5 Supperclub, Jan 2008: Style Conscious

Enjoy Chef's latest creations, while relaxing on gigantic beds of pure white with colour changing lights. Mouthwatering fusion food, is served ‘in bed’, with cool music and style-conscious staff, setting the mood.

After 10pm the volume is cranked up and the lights down, for the perfect atmosphere to party the rest of the night away...

3 Angels Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

www.3angelssoi6.com

Opened in August 2006 replacing DMTs

  News from Pattaya Secrets, August 2006: Angel Showers

After several weeks of renovations, 3 Angels has reopened on the site of the now defunct DMT's on Soi 6. from the outside, you wouldn't really notice anything different. Signs have changed, girls haven't.

Inside the main bar, it still looks pretty much the same. Mirrors with Xmas lights around them remain. New sofas and wall treatments and the addition of a big bike on display (presumably the angels in the name are more to do with motorbikes than celestial singing)

DMT's, like most Soi 6 bars, had shit rooms, shit beds, shit showers and shit lighting. Not anymore. The new Dutch owner spent the money where it counts: In the bedroom. New entrance, new doors, new walls, flooring, everything. Looks like a proper Western-style budget hotel now.

Gone is the communal shower with the half-working hot water and obligatory bucket. Now each room has its own shower with good water temp and pressure. There is inset incandescent lighting and new beds and mattresses.

Pattaya So6 (Soi Yodsak)

www.pookswanhouse.com

The now open upstairs bar at Pook is said to feature girls. It seems a strange idea as the downstairs bar is solidly lady boy. I generally give the lady boys a wide birth and don't really fancy pushing past them to a rather unknown upstairs bar.

  Note September 2009: Lady Boys

It is reported that lady boys now wander upstairs to mix with the girls

Amsterdamaged

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (centre)

Short time bar, taking over from Love Club.  Opened 30th April 2010.

  Review June 2010: First Impressions

The bar has been a bit low key since opening with just 2 or 3 girls standing outside. At least they weren't lady boys so I thought I would take the opportunity for a look see.

The girls were sitting outside rather than in the Amsterdam style windows. Perhaps a bit unsurprising that the girls like to have a chat whilst waiting for customers rather than sitting on their own.

Inside is a smart looking, good quality bar with wooden style double benches arranged around the central open plan area. There are also a couple of bays of inviting looking, and more private booth seating.

The cashier was keeping the bins at her counter rather than bringing them to the customer's table. This seems to be a commonplace way of operating on Soi 6 these days and is totally reprehensible in my books. It seems to do nothing for the customer's interests, but enables easy bin padding opportunities for the staff. At some bars towards the 2nd Road end of Soi 6, the technique is also used to hide high drinks prices until it is time to settle up.

Anyway no such problems at Amsterdamaged, where the drinks were reasonably priced with a beer at 80 Baht and a lady drink at 100 Baht.

It's early days for Amsterdamaged but at least an attractive bar will provide a good starting point.

  Update, May 2010: Open Doors but Closed Windows

The idea of getting girls to sit in windows doesn't seem to have panned out. More worryingly I have spotted mostly lady boys outside the bar so far.

  News from Amsterdamaged April 2010

There is a new bar soon to open on Soi 6 that will give Pattaya visitors a taste of Amsterdam.

As you may suspect, the bar is inspired by the red light windows of Amsterdam and from the experience of living nearby the fabled district known as De Wallen

The owners have tried to turn the bar into the same as you would expect in the dam ie girls in the windows, private booths inside (3), and mirrored short time rooms (3) all on-suite. 

The girls are said to be very excited about the mirrors.

There will also be a dance stage at the front with a pole. There will also be welcome girls to usher customers in.

The beer prices will remain the same as the old Love Club.

There will be an official opening on Saturday 1st May and there will be a soft opening on Friday 30th April.

Beer bar

  Review by Materialsman, Oct 2008: Beautiful Ladies

Now, I haven’t been to The Atlantic Bar for a couple or three years, since it’s supposed heyday, but I keep in touch with what’s happening on various Forums, including Thai-Anxiety, and consensus has been that the Atlantic is in decline, and that the few remaining lookers there believe they have ‘pussies spun of the finest and purest gold thread’ and hardly give a punter the time of day.

Well, I have to say on entering the bar, I was pleasantly surprised! There were probably 25 girls in attendance, and this was around 21:30, before the ‘superstars’ can be assed to turn up for duty, and there were some very attractive ladies on view, all resplendent in clingy white dresses, or other very tight white clothing. I am not sure if they have a different colour scheme for each night of the week, I will have to go back and check, but the overall effect on Tuesday was quite dazzling!

We positioned ourselves in seats between the pool tables and the bar to get a good panoramic view of the lovelies and ordered a couple of bottled Heinekens, which came at a reasonable 70 baht a bottle considering the eye candy, we had a drink in Anna Jet in Soi 7 last week and they charged like a ‘wounded rhinoceros’ for the same libations, with nothing anywhere near as good to look at pulchritude wise.

Perhaps true to form we weren’t hassled by the beauties, but I am the sort of guy that is happy to buy lady drinks for any lady I choose to buy for, but don’t enjoy being pressurised into doing so by unwelcome attention. We stayed for a couple more and enjoyed the view, so overall I felt it was still a good place to sit and drink, and feel for sure if you were a regular enough guy and took a little time to get the know the stunners, there would be no problem in negotiating ‘extra curricular’ activities with the hostesses. Good service, reasonable prices, and beautiful ladies, what more could a man ask for?

  Notes from Pattaya forums, Dec 2007: Girls on Top

This must be one of the most talked about bars in Pattaya. Some people love it and some people hate it.

Clearly the pretty girls are in charge about the selections and the lucky guy are probably fans of the bar. The unlucky guys then probably hate it and probably waste a fortune in lady drinks in the hope that they can get selected by the girls.

Many of the girls have followed manager Patrick to U Too bar a couple of blocks south on the same road.

  Review from Ryan, Dec 2006: White and Blue Tags

You have two types of ladies working here, the ladies wearing white tags cannot leave the bar as the are solely to work in the bar, I found these ladies friendly, as a matter of fact I have made two really good friends from this type of lady from the Atlantic Bar.

Then you have the ladies with the blue tags, you can barfine these women. Also the owners Boom and Johan are good hosts and do a lot for you, it is especially good if you wish to watch a sporting event.

  Review from Carl, Nov 2006: Collecting Lady Drinks

Found a few crackers here nice girls very friendly and accommodating. After talking to a few girls they told me they do like collecting lady drinks then they like to disappear near closing time to go dancing down walking street.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, May 2006: All at Sea

Most of the girls at Atlantic can't even be bothered to notice you exist. Once you've got a drink in front of you, you might as well be invisible at this bar.

It wasn't just me, mind you. One time I was there, the guy next to me had something like four ladydrinks in front of him. He was sitting alone. Why? because the girls were too busy talking to each other on the other side of the bar! I couldn't believe it. Every now and then one would sidle over, take a sip of her precious drink, and head back to chat with her friends.

I had thought I was ignored on my first visit because there was a football match on and perhaps the girls had been instructed not to chat up customers who were watching the game.

Not so. The second time around, I was still ignored, but at least I didn't buy four ladydrinks for non-existent ladies like the poor sap next to me.

The Bee Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (2nd Road end)

Short time bar

  Reader review, Dec 2006: Bee There

A few changes seem to have occurred in this bar over the last year. The main one is a stock of new pretty girls. The general atmosphere in the bar definitely seemed different from all other bars down the street when I visited it.

The staff are polite and friendly. Drinks are very reasonably priced. You can go and have your fun nearby with your new "friend" then come back and relax in the bar and even have a game of pool on the nice slate-bed table.

If you want to listen to your favourite song you can be your own DJ on the computer disco system. It's definitely worth a visit even if you only want to play pool against their resident Thai lady pool hustler. She will out-drink and out-play you time and time again!

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Previously a short time bar now converted to a gogo bar. See GoGo Bar Reviews

Blue Hawaii Pub

Lady boy short time bar. Not to be confused with the New Blue Hawaii opposite that is not laden with lady boys.

Bret Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar renamed from Christina May's.

 News August 2009: Open

The remodelling previously mentioned is in fact to make the bar totally open. The bar previously had a smallish inside area but I guess the lack of air conditioning made it a little less inviting than it should have been.

The bar was clearly attracting mostly the people that like open bars so it makes sense, but for me lack of aircon and privacy makes it an unusual bar style for Soi 6 that generally hasn't got a good track record.

 News August 2009: Barfines Down

May is just wrapping up a major remodelling of the bar area. She has also dropped the bar fines! LT barfine has gone from 1000 baht before 8pm, 500 after, to 500 baht before 8pm. 300 after. ST dropped from 500 to 300.

  News April 2008: Bret Passes Away

Bret of Bret Bar in Soi 6 suffered a heart attack and auto crash in October of 2006, rendering him essentially incapacitated. Recovery was very slow for Bret, but there was clear progress being made through 2007. Recently, however, that changed, and his health went into a rapid decline. Last Tuesday, April 22, his heart problems overcame him.

  Review April 2008: Environmentally Friendly

A soi 6 with a mixture of entertainments. The bar has an outside section complete with pool table and also an inside section featuring little but the typical sofas.

The girls are a mixture too from Soi 6 stalwarts to innocentish newcomers.

The bar has something against electricity so don't expect aircon or much in the way of lighting.

  Review Jan 2007: Short Time Karaoke

I was drawn in by a pretty girl who was a little hyped up by the free flowing fun from a party.

The bar has dedicated most of the available floor space to an outside beer bar area. However there is a an inside portion too. The desire to escape both the party karaoke and the hot evening area spurred me to head for the aircon.

There seemed to be a lack of traditional Soi 6 sofa seating. There were stools at the bar and single easy chairs. Nothing to stop amorous couples doubling up but if they chose to sit in a chair each they would be uncomfortably distant from each other.

But of course short time bars succeed or fail depending on the girls on hand. And on this particularly occasion the bar proved to be a big success.

The Bullring Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (near 2nd Road)

Short time bar

  Review July 2008: Bullshit

Lured in by a suitably good looking girl, but then things went downhill a bit. The girl was a little demure but was friendly enough.

I ordered a lady drink and then noticed that the bin hadn't yet appeared at my table for my beer. The lady brought back her drink but still no bin. I asked the girl to bring the bin and had a look. The Thai whiskey & coke lady drink was a whopping 140 Baht. No wonder they weren't keen on showing the bill.

I asked the girl and she reckoned that she will only receive 20 Baht of the 140.

Somehow put me off the business in hand and I went in search of another bar more deserving of my trade. A bit of a shame as I didn't find another girl as deserving of my trade.

  Review May 2008: Friendly Cows?

Always seems quiet but they seem to have a few pretty girls on hand. I have always been looked after well in the bar

There is a computerised music system with every track known to man.

They allow a bit of naughty stuff in the bar but they make of a play of shutting doors and standing guard. Easier just to retire upstairs.

  Review April 2007: No Bull

There's no bar theme linking the bar with either Spanish bull fighting or even the Birmingham shopping centre. No, just a typical small soi 6 bar complete with the usual 2 person sofas.

My drinking companion reckoned that the bar was Thai owned.

The bar seemed well run and the bar tabs were fair with bottled beer going for 70-75 Baht (strangely two prices for the same brand of beer though!)

But as always, merits in this type of bar are down to the hostess of choice. My selection was eloquent, witty, pretty and suitably enticing so the bar was therefore a hit.

Bus Stop Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (near 2nd Road)

Short time bar & guest house

  Review from Dave, May 2009: Under new management

Under new management since the start of the year and it is now run by a Kiwi guy and his partner. Completely new set of girls since my visit there last year.

There were about 7 girls there ranging from 5's to 7's out of 10 and contrary to the previous comment, I would have been able to bar fine any of them, the girl must have been having a bad day.

Not as good as it used to be but the new guy will probably be trying to find his feet as he is new to the Pattaya scene.

At this point in time, I would just call it an average bar.

  Review Feb 2009: Knocked Back

There were few girls at the door, but one was good looking so I thought I would give it a try. But the cutie refused to come in with me. I hope the Soi 7/8 trick of keeping the prettiest girl on the door isn't coming to Soi 6.

Probably the girl was just being picky. Anyway to avoid having my ego sapped again I will give the bar a miss.

  Thanks to Jay, June 2008: Volume

The bar tends to have the music volume set too loud for interviews or conversation depending on how you look at it. Requests to get it turned down granted but it wasn't long before the volume would edge up again. Spoilt a good chat with a cutie.

  Review from Funseeker, June 2008: No Urge to Leave

I have just come back from Pattaya and what a time I had, in fact it was the best holiday I ever had.

Was made very, very, welcome at the Bus Stop bar, in fact I spent most of my time there (woo hoo) I never felt the urge to leave Soi 6 in the night time as it was full of beautiful girls.

I travelled around Pattaya but Bus Stop was the best place and prices were good at Bt500 short time and Bt1000 long time, if you wanna stay there it is only Bt650 per night

Beers were Bt80 and the Aussie owner (Dave) was a great bloke who told me the best places to go in Pattaya and he even showed me them personally (fantastic).

Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

  News, Apr 2008: Private Bus

The open bar idea was not a complete success so now there is a closed section set back into the bar.

The Butterfly Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)
(mid-block north-side)

The Butterfly Skysuite

Short time bar eventually re-opened after a couple of month's police closure. Intermittent opening at the beginning of 2008.

  Review from Malcolm, January 2010: Nicest Room

S.T. 300 for bar, 700 for girl. Nicest S.T. room I have seen. Not en suite but shower room good also.

  Review from jj, July 2006: Fly In

Butterfly Bar is an all too typical Soi 6 ST bar. Nicely appointed in wood and tile with comfortable sofas and discreet cubicles, it is a perfect example of mediocrity and the paramount importance of the staff. The current owner seems to have sunk a fortune into the place, but no matter how attractive the decor, no matter what the owner's intentions, the ladies in residence are the key to return business.

The curtains on the cubicles showed promise of special things to come. False alarm. Our ladies-of-the-hour were attractive, funny and talkative, but generally non-responsive, allowing a minimum of grab and tickle. Some bars have a complete lack of ambience but fun girls. Fun ladies trump decor any time.

Butterfly reportedly has a staff of 10 but on this week night only 6 were in evidence. They reportedly are all non-salaried free-lancers so the "go upstairs" refrain was all too frequent. There is an unused tiny dance platform immediately inside the door. We were offered 'a show' for a 1000 - a bit steep when the ST BF is a mere 300.

Rumor has it that there is a new owner in the offing. I, for one, would hope that he has a gimmick, a way to break the Soi 6 pattern. For one thing he should ban the ladies from wearing jeans. Perhaps even institute a uniform of sorts that better advertises the available assets. An agreement with the ladies in residence for a pay-to-play closed-curtain "show" priced somewhat below 1000, would be one possible way to integrate the available decor to attract customers. Unless he finds a way to make Butterfly stand out, it will simply remain a nondescript ST bars in a city full of nondescript ST bars.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, April 2006: Top Notch Coasters

I like the rooms at the Butterfly Bar on Soi 6. The inside bar as well as the showers are new. Even the coasters for drinks are top notch. I took one as a souvenir. It has a photo of one of the girls on it.

Shophouse bar with aircon

  Review from Fergus, Oct 2007:

This is a down-to-earth local pub with a quality pool table, dart board etc - but with one exception... it's in Pattaya!

Fun, relaxed, great beer, great company and a brilliant landlord.

  June 2006:

A very good local pub type bar with aircon. lots of Brits use it as well as Aussies and Yanks and the odd German so a good mix- usually has girls and its interesting watching the comings and goings to the silom massage across the rd.

  December 2005:

Its a great place to have an afternoon beer before a night session.

lots of banter and if your a newbie Willie is a great guy to show you the ropes. I think Willie is one of the great characters in Pattaya and he is worth dropping in on.

Cherry Bar

2nd Road
(Soi 2 area)

Beer bar

  Review by Materialsman, Oct 2008: Hurry Away

I will always take a seat and order a beer no matter what, rather than turn tail and flee if the bar is full of dragons, first impressions can be deceiving, and there could be hidden gems just out of line of sight. However, on this occasion first impressions were 100% correct, and the bar was staffed with some pretty ordinary girls.

Now, the reason for picking The Cherry Bar was that it was owned by one of my all time favourite ex-TQ1 dancers, Khun Tom and her equally lovely sister, and used to be staffed by a fairly attractive young crowd of girls, sadly no longer! I don’t know if they sold out the bar or not, but I realised my error of choice, drank my bottle as fast as I could, and check binned even though it was my mates turn to pay, never looked or cared about the prices, just wanted away in a hurry!

  March 2006:

Personally I like the Cherry Bar on the corner of soi 3 and second road. Nice girls and atmosphere. That would be my 'must visit' bar everytime.

  Review from Dave May 2009: Definitely worth a visit

I was welcomed by the owner (Alan) who was a great source of info while I was in Pattaya and a hell of a nice guy as well.

There was 4 or 5 girls there ranging 5's to 8's out of 10 and they were all very friendly.

Great little bar, good pricing on beer with a large selection of some of the best Malts (prices on the bottles, so no surprises) and the place seems to come alive at night.

I stayed there and the rooms were very good (Bt500 per night) and cleaned daily but if you want something more up market, he also rents out condo's over towards Jomtien). No problems with taking girls from other bars back.

All in all, definitely worth a visit.

   Review June 2008: Drinker's Pub

The smallish bar has a lot of character, especially for Soi 6. The owner is clearly passionate about his drinking and his military. The bar is decorated accordingly and the bar is also stocked with an enormous selection of drinks. Perhaps from the Scottish connection, I assumed that the array of bottles would be mostly whiskeys, but there is actually a wide selection of all drinks.

Most of the seating is focussed at the bar so perhaps there is not so much opportunity for canoodling. But there are a fair amount of girls on offer.

My companion for the evening was very attractive and was very good company. It also made a change that she was a cider drinker rather than the more usual Thai Whisky or orange juice

Later on the evening the bar became pretty full, with what I assumed were regulars, as everyone seemed to know everyone.

I can see myself joining them.

  From The Clansman May 2008: Spirit of Scotland

A Scottish themed bar. We offer over 50 different types of whiskey, malts and blends, and a huge selection of beers and ciders. Our fully stocked spirit bar also offers a selection of draught beer.

Inside you will truly feel the spirit of Scotland, and our lassies will make you feel more than welcome.

Owned and run by an Ex Royal Marine, Alan welcomes all ex and serving soldiers and sailors alike.

  Review Sep 2007: Kitsch

I was strangely drawn into visiting the bar on the back of bad reviews. Sometimes one needs to get a little perspective.

But as it turns out the 'badness' turned out to be more bad taste than anything. The decor is surely a little 'retro' or maybe just cheap. The dodgy looking fixtures and fittings maybe emphasised the latter option.

But none of this proved much of a problem when beset by a team of girls intent on getting up close and personable. They weren't really quite top notch but they ensured that the stay was pleasurable enough.

  From Pattaya Chat, Dec 2008: Enjoyable

Differ was very good. Many nice Thai ladies in there and it was a good friendly enjoyable atmosphere.

  From Pattaya Secrets, Nov 2006: Mercedes and BMW’s

A newish nightspot aimed at middle class Thais.

There is a limited beer choice of  Singha & Corona. The Thai preference is for a group to share a bottle of whiskey.

The place is very small. There is a ground floor areas and a balcony overlooking the stage. The place is often packed with queues outside too. The car park is bulging with Mercedes and BMW’s.

Musically, its hip hop tapes or CDs until 10.00pm and then a live group. They also have a DJ scratching 12”singles.

There is no dance floor and there are no high tech lasers, dry ice machines or scanners etc, the sound system is not bad but nothing compared to some of the go-go bars on Walking Street.

Fashion Club: G-Clubbin’ Pattaya-Style

  Review from Pattaya Addicts, June 2008: Get a Chivas

Bottle of Chivas (the cheapest item on menu) - 1200b
Fruit Bowl (not optional) - 200b
Ice and Cokes, Soda - 60b each

Fortunately, the girls will drink from your bottle, but some will keep asking for tequila (250b/shot).

You can buy beer instead of a bottle of liquor, but this will be expensive too, plus you will have to buy drinks for girls

On the bright side, the girls are the most beautiful you will see in Thailand, or Asia for that matter (excluding perhaps Japan), and they have literally hundreds.

If you did not drink the bottle you can take it home and come back another day, they won't charge you again, but will still have to pay for fruit and mixers.

  Review from Pattaya Addicts, May 2008: Get a Bottle

Beers were 140-200 and cocktails ranged from 250 up. If you go, order a bottle of something cheap and some mixers for 60 baht and it's not really that expensive. A bottle of Chivas is like 800.

The girls ranged but there were a couple of stunners and quite a few very good looking ones. Be careful as there are some post-op ladyboys working in there and it can be very hard to tell them apart from the other girls. The main reason being that so many of the girls there have had a lot of surgery on their chest/face and look like ladyboys as well.

The girls can be barfined by talking to mammasan. You work out the price with her but I have no idea what the costs are.

They've got two rooms. One has dancers and DJ music, the other has a live band with girls dancing between songs.

The wait staff was a bit pushy about ordering drinks.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets: Wallet Slimming

Reportedly the latest venture from the people that ran the popular but ill-fated Route 999.

Aimed primarily at Hi-So Thais with two rooms, a DJ Club and Fashion Club.

The DJ Club has a large stage also overlooked by a large balcony. The decor is good and the sound system is impressive.

The Fashion club features coyote dancing and has private booths. The girls are said to be very pretty.

The beer selection is limited to bottled corona at 250 Baht a knock. Lady drink tequilas are also 250 Baht. There also seems to be a very expensive policy of having to order a tequila yourself to drink with the lady. The Thai norm of ordering a bottle of whiskey for a group seems to be the way to go here.

Barfines are reportedly 15,000 Baht but I would take this as meaning the dancing girls aren't barfinable rather than anyone being expected to pay this amount.

2nd Road: Soi 2

Beer bar

  October 2005:

Very popular bar with many girls and some pretty ones amongst them.

Foxy's Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar

  Review from Oliver, May 2008: Good Service

I went to Foxy"s Bar and it was very good. Nice ladies and good service.

  News April 2007: Stray Bullet

The bar made the news when one of the bar girls got struck by a bullet. Luckily not much damage was done. It still seems to be a mystery as to who was doing the shooting and why.

  March 2005: Crappy Rooms

Foxy's has crappy rooms, a communal shower and ill fitting doors

Full Moon Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)/

Short time bar. Changed hands and completely refurbished in summer 2010.

  From Full Moon Bar, June 2010: Complete Makeover

Each room has been completely redone, electrics to European standards, the widest beds in the market, new bedding, linens and towels, large side mirrors and ceiling for kinky activities, handrail for girls, spacious sofas and chairs for games out of bed or on the floor, black tiles, quiet and efficient air conditioner and ceiling fan, and even a card to turn on and turn off the electricity at the end of session, as in the best hotels.

In the rooms (except orange), there is a spacious bathroom with sink, new shower and toilet, with hot and cold water and a large mirror for playing a bit if you feel like it.

On the first floor so we have four new rooms: the black, red, orange and yellow for your mood. The rooms have dimmers, a black light lamps, and white light in ceiling for most voyeurs. The decoration is made of sexy photos of girls and, for relaxation, trees and flowers adorn the rooms finely colored, a touch of country. The rooms red and black are huge, the other two smaller.

On the second floor from late June 2010 will be four other rooms in the same spirit, which will be rented on a daily, weekly or monthly rates. And a metal staircase was installed at the rear of the building against the wall for fire safety.

The bar has also been completely redecorated and extended. There are large individual seats, sofas and new air conditioning, electricity, etc. There is also a special private playroom where the customer can be alone (or with friends) with one or two or more girls on comfortable sofas to relax completely in his own way during the time that suits him

So in the Full Moon Bar, everything is now above local standards. From the staff side, there are 17 girls and a few other freelancers, young and sexy to satisfy the desires of customers from 10 am to 1 am.

I talk at length about my bar as I'm proud, because it finally became beautiful, clean, safe, efficient and facilitated by a young but experienced and effective girls that I trained myself.

2nd Road
(Corner of Central Road by TOPS)

Large Chang at 60 Baht

Good Fellas' Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak

Short time bar with mixed girls & lady boys

  Review from Malcolm, Jan 2010: No Lady Boys

Never saw any ladyboys there and one of the girls said there was none working there.

  Review from Pattaya Pages, June 2006: Good

Probably spent more time in GoodFellas than anywhere else, but the good looking girls are snapped up early. Well thought out bar, attractive, good seating, clean. Haven't used their short time room though.

  November 2005:

A couple of the girls out front seem to have developed deep voices presumably from the large amount of 'welcome handsum man' calls uttered. Anyway I didn't hang around to investigate further, plenty more bars in the gauntlet.

I feel a bit sorry for any naturally husky or tall girls in Soi 6. Given that one has only a split second choice as one passes, the height and voice is a high priority filter for me. But on the other hand the lady boy's seem to do well enough for customers so perhaps tall girls get a lot of interest. I wonder if there are ever any shocks in the short time room when the customer gets to see that his lady boy is in fact a girl.

  Summer 2005:

I found Goodfella's to be a nice, clean, well laid out bar with some pretty girls.

Gulliver's Traveller's Tavern

Beach Road
(North end)

Until 2am

Bar & restaurant opened in May 2006. Beer priced around the 90 Baht mark for a small bottle.

  Review from Thai Visa, Feb 2009: Never crowded

Never crowded (sad for the owners), low volume easy listening music, 3 pool tables and clean bathrooms!

The drink prices are reasonable and you can relax while watching sports on one of the TV screens.

  Review by Polecat, Jan 2006: No Freelancers

There is a cavernous Castle Frankenstein interior, with hi-tec accessories like internet stations and multiple TVs.

The bathrooms are a knockout. Drinks and food are reasonably priced, and you can play pool or watch sports on a huge screen.

But unlike Bangkok Gulliver’s, there are no freelancers. The manager says they’d be welcome, and he’s considering promotions to attract them.

Halifax Bar 1

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar. One room has a private shower, the other not. Beer 70 Baht, lady drinks 80 Baht.

  Review Sept 2007: Well Looked After

A pretty small bar with the usual girls and sofas. The bar features a friendly host and mamasang who works hard to ensure that the customers are well looked after.

There's a ensuite shower in at least one of the upstairs rooms.

  From the Yellow Board, February 2006: Get Acquainted

There were about 10 girls waiting on a chance to entertain. There are comfortable sofas inside to help one get acquainted.

At the beach end of the street is the Halifax bar. They always had a bunch of girls out front and a few always called out to me. I went in with a kind of chubby girl with a great smile and attitude.

I had a good time and can recommend this bar. (Decent rooms by the way).

Halifax Bar 2

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar opened in May 2008. Unsurprisingly, the same owner as Halifax Bar 1.  Beer 70 Baht, lady drinks 80 Baht.

  Review May 2008: Traditional

Traditional soi 6 single unit layout with 2 person sofas. The bar is a little roomier than the sister bar.

The bar is customer friendly with reasonable drinks prices, a friendly owner and non-pushy girls. Should do well.

Henry Bean's Bar & Grill

Beach Road (North end)

Large American themed bar and restaurant.

  News March 2008: Closed for renovation

The bar is closing for renovation and will returned towards the end of April 2010 as the English themed The Tavern

  Prices from Pattaya-Live March 2010: Pricey Beer

Although I knew it would be more expensive than an ordinary bar, I was a little surprised at the price of my San Miguel Light...price per bottle...188 Baht.

  Review from Jil in Pattaya July 2007: A Pricey Theme

Henry J Bean's is definitely a theme restaurant, but it sort of misses the mark. The clientele on the night I was there was primarily Thai people. (Tourists probably head for more "local" restaurants, and the expatriate crowd obviously have their reasons for not coming.) My guess is that this restaurant (with its Fillipino band) is the starting-off spot for well-to-do Thai people.

The band was good, and the music was fine but far too loud for a restaurant.

Most of the entrees are around 250-400 baht. However, drinks are pricey, with small (0.25L) draft beers being 100 baht, and mixed drinks 160 baht.

A little bit expensive and definitely far from the best meal deal in town. Add to that the loud music; service that, while satisfactory, was not outstanding; the tacky decor; and the food that was pretty much average... and you have a restaurant that you can go ahead and leave to the rich Thai people, who don't know any better.

A Hole in One Bar

Pattya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar. Rooms with showers

  Review January 2008: Girl Share Scheme

A recently refurbished bar that is more attractive than most on the soi. There are some attractive girls on duty and they seem to have a girl share scheme with TG next door. If they are barfined out, then spare girls from TG will step inside.

classroom-honeypot.com

Coyote dancing bar, opened in autumn 2006 on the site of the old Tropical Bar.

Singha beer 100 Baht. Heineken 105 Baht.

  Review by Materialsman, Oct 2008: Face of an Angel

Now, this was my very first visit to this establishment, and I don’t want to get into a debate about the old Coyote vs Go-Go Girls thing, I know the Pattaya A Go-Go purists don’t like them, indeed ‘mein host’ at Thai-Anxiety is not a lover of the Coyote style, but I have to say I was very, very impressed with the line up of beauty here, all resplendent in skimpy white attire, which confirmed my suspicions from The Atlantic Bar that ‘White is indeed this years Black’ and in particular number #92, which gave me an ‘Apocalypse Now’ moment, you know the lines, Sell the house. Sell the car. Sell the kids. Find someone else. Forget it. I'm never coming back. Forget it. What an absolute darling! Wearing a miniscule pair of white shorts, a cropped white top with a black bra showing through revealing a fair old cleavage, long curly hair and the face of an Angel! I was in love big time, but I had to think, is it the skimpy clothing that makes her stand out? Would I have been so smitten had she been wearing a bikini, or even naked? This is where we came in, regards the Coyote look, personally I like it, it makes a change of pace and the skimpy clothing adds a little mystery for me, even though there isn’t much of it.

I have to say The Honeypot made us feel very welcome, giving us two of the best seats right near the window and right near the dancing podium, I felt like a kid in a candy store! And what of my delectable number #92 Goddess? Well, of course she never gave me the time of day, but I handle rejection well, and will be back to try another day.

Overall, this place rocks! Well not exactly ‘Rocks’, as they have the unusual concept for this kind of bar, of having a live band playing sort of cod-rock, easy listing type stuff, I kept expecting Hotel California any moment, but bizarrely it seems to work fine, all the girls seem happy enough, the staff were friendly, (except #92, probably just shy!) and drinks reasonable. I am going to take another look next week at the comparable Club Blu in Soi Boukhao before I judge the whole Coyote thing, but for now I think it’s a winning concept, but my judgment could be clouded by my schoolboy crush!. The only reason we left was that on the next table, a large American chap fired up an equally large stogie, which put a damper on my enjoyment, so much for the supposed ban on smoking inside air conditioned venues, like all Pattaya ‘crackdowns’ it has quickly turned to dust, (Or at least ash!)

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, May 2007: Cute Girls

I really enjoy Honey Pot. Definitely lots of cute girls and have had fun with them even if the one girl did quote me 5000 Baht LT.

Not just the looks of the girls I enjoy but the bar itself. When the girls dance they do tend to look out the window a lot though at times.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Jan 2007: Disinterested

Reports of cute but disinterested girls but also a warning to keep your eye on the bin as phantom lady drinks chits have been subtly dropped in 2 customers bins.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Dec 2006: Reception

They seem to differentiate between hostess girls and girls on the door area (reception) (and that's half the girls sometimes) who are there to entice you in. They will walk with you to the bar if you take one but otherwise they are supposed to stay at door. If you do buy one a drink they are supposed to leg it back to the door unless you bf them or continue to buy them drinks and a mamasan gives them the okl. The owners clearly know their business but I think this aspect is rather absurd.

  Review from Thailand Nightlife Roundup, Dec 2006: Sleek

A sleek new bar. Stunning slender dancers in tight vests and hot-pants ripple compellingly on 3 platforms, and big TV-screen windows give a view of the raucous street-life and kiosk bars opposite.

The air-conditioning is cool, the Burberry-clad service is  friendly, the cream-and-biscuit paintwork is soothing, and the house-band is terrific.

Starting off with dinner-jazz in Pat Metheney style, they modulate through bass-beat funk to rock classics you can headbang along to.

Soft drinks 65 baht, booze at 95 baht, ladydrink 100 baht & hostess barfine 600 baht, service girl 500 Baht.

Intira Bar

2nd Road

Beer bar

  Review from Dave, April 2008: Favourite

On my recent trip I went to the Intira Bar on Second Rd near Soi 2. Lots of attractive girls here who don't hassle you for drinks but who respond when approached. It was one of my favourite bars at this end of town.

  Review From Pattaya Secrets, May 2006: Fantastically Loud music

I go to this bar quite often during my trips. There some nice girls, although the stunners usually man the reception area until late after which they look to be bar-fined. There is a huge TV screen for football etc. One down-side is that the music is played at a fantastically loud level. Another thing is that the beer is sometimes served frozen - i.e. too cold.

  From Initiar Bar, March 2006: Warm Welcome

The Intira Bar has 28 beautiful girls aged from 18 to 23 years old, all ready and willing to make your visit here memorable.

Live football including English Premiership. Darts and Pool Table. Host Dave provides a warm welcome.

Jack Tar Beer bar

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

Beer bar with food

  Review from Dave, May 2009: Well Positioned

Good well priced food at this bar and very well positioned for checking out the talent at other bars as well as getting recon from the expats and regulars that drink there.

Also a good bar to go to if you want to see any sporting events.

Good place to chill out if you aren't in the mood for a bar girl.

  Review from Swanks, August 2006: Tarred with a New Brush

The lightning struck tower of change has hit the Jack Tar big time! The place is still inhabited by the same bawdy and good natured ex-pat crowd with the odd tourist who thinks he has slipped in unnoticed, but gone are the poisonous grim meanies and especially the chief viper from the kitchen.

Not only was my visit well worth it for the food, but I got a beaming smile , very friendly, very welcoming and attentive service from some quite charming waiting and bar staff. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them!

I thought I'd gone in the wrong bar by mistake! Well worth a visit now! Don't forget its not a late night place though, more for an afternoon of spirited debate , if you take my drift!

  Review from Swanks, April 2006: Service with a Scowl

This always was a "Beer n Sport" bar and was previously very welcoming.

Since the ousting of Scrumpy George by the bar girl mafia there, it really has been the tail wagging the dog! George's management style might have been a bit "Faulty Towers" ,but he managed to keep a lid on what started as a bad attitude in the kitchen,and then spread to the rest of the staff like clap at Loy Krathong. Now it really has took hold and even the new Thai manager seem to have mastered the lip curl (as used on social inferiors by Thais) . This is issued on every possible occasion now and usually is accompanied by "Knowing looks" between staff members. This attitude problem has been mentioned to me by several of the former customers without my saying anything first so it cant be just my imagination.

Beer still cheep and the food is possibly the best, for the price, in Pattaya. Just don't expect service with a smile.

Jameson's

Soi Sukrudee 80/164 Moo 9 (By Nova Park Hotel)

www.jamesons-pattaya.com

Restaurant and Irish pub without hostesses

  Review from Pattaya Chat, March 2005: Good Track Record

Very nicely fitted out but like has already been said it is in the middle of nowhere but that can be a good thing if you want a quiet drink with a few friends away from the madness and there is plenty of space for parking in the pub car park. The couple of times I've been in the place it was pretty empty which is a shame really as it could be a good boozer if it can get enough custom.

The manager used to own Jools in Bkk about 10 years ago and also the TQ2 as well as managing Delaneys/Shenanigans and is a nice guy.

Great weekend carvery and wonderful staff. 50 Baht for a coke, 30 Baht for water

  Review from Pattaya Chat, March 2005: Pea and Sham Soup!

Was one of the Manager's first customers when he had Jools in Bangkok where portions were super-size, especially the Pea and Ham soup. Therefore when I tried Jamesons a while back for lunch and saw the aforementioned soup on the menu I decided that past experience would prevail. Ordered Pea and Ham Soup and Roast Beef sandwich.

Soup arrived, a smattering of green sludge was deposited on the bottom of the bowl. indeed not enough liquid to drown the proverbial fly! The sandwich arrived, two miniscule pieces of bread buried under a mass of rabbit fodder, specifically requested NOT to be supplied! Somewhere there were two tiny slivers of meat, and I do mean tiny!

The manager was called for who just laughed in my face as I explained politely my dissatisfaction. Needless to say never been back.

Pattaya Klang Soi 16

Beer bar. A very friendly bar and very cheap

Jasmine Pub

Lady boy short time bar. Seems to have gone dark

2nd Road: Soi 5

Beer bar with no hostesses.

I have only been there when it is being used as a waiting area for the PIC Kitchen restaurant. A good quality restaurant trying to provide a 'real Thai' experience, sitting on the floor surrounded by lots of lush vegetation.

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Joy Bar

Beer bar, moved from Soi 1 location to Drinking Street in 2008

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Aug 2007: Hammers Fave

Noted as a favourite by bar owner and forum member, Hammer. Plenty of girls in attractive school uniforms and a sizeable stage for those that like to dance.

King Kong Beer bar

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

Previously noted for blow jobs at the bar but these seem to have been forced into short time rooms (before 10pm at least). It is not a BJ bar in the classic sense with the cut-out below the bar and the milking stool for the girl.

  News from Pattaya Secrets, Oct 2007: Short Short Time

Please be advised that the new owner (Dutch) is enforcing the schedule for the Short Time, 60 minutes no more free time, if you are lingering like me be ready to pay OT for the bar fine and tip to the girl.

The Mamasan, girls were notified at the last staff meeting.

  Review from Pattaya Addicts, Sep 2007: Sold

Fans of the old style, "anything goes in the bar", may be somewhat disappointed.

King Kong has a new owner, a German with local wife. Fun in the bar is now said to be off the menu.

The price of a beer has increased from the standard 60 baht to 75 baht.

  News Feb 2007: For Sale

The bar seems to be operating at a low ebb with few girls outside and reports of the bar being closed some days. There is a prominent 'for sale' sign

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, April 2006: No Techno Boombox

Sadly, King Kong seems to be on the downside. The last 3 or 4 times I've been in it has been dead. Not many punters and listless girls. It may be just part of the life cycle of bars.

If you go, I think after 10:30 would be best as the girls get up to antics in search of baht as the clock ticks toward closing time.

Music is still a good mix of blues, r&b, bluegrass and alt. country, no techno boombox shit.

Still worth a visit though to a Pattaya landmark of sleaze.

  November 2005: Eating at the Bar

It seems to have become something of an eatery with girls sitting on the bar as the main course.

Slightly too much emphasis on 'going upstairs' to count as particularly friendly

  October 2005: Pattaya Office

King Kong is my Pattaya office. It is a short time bar with 2 rooms upstairs. The shower is in the hallway. The bar also uses rooms in the hotel next door and these have showers in the room.

200 Baht for the room and 500 Baht for the girl (1 hour). Girls also available Long Time for 300 Baht barfine and 1000 Baht for the girl.

Small interior with impressively low-rent decor and very good music eg. George Thorogood, R&B, bluegrass, country rock. NO technocrap or disco shit.

Friendly atmosphere, go after 10pm when it gets lively.

Kiss Kool Bar

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar has bikini clad dancing girls so see also the GoGo review

  Review March 2006: Sexy, Friendly & Possessive

One place in particular that I visited was the “Kiss Kool” club in Soi 6. The girls there VERY sexy and friendly, much like all of the girls in Pattaya Beach. The only real draw back that I noticed is that if you spend too much time with one girl, they tend to get really possessive.

  Review January 2006: Hot Kiss

I thought it was the nicest bar on the block. Really nice short time rooms and some hot girls there when I was in town for the New Year.

La La Land Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (Beach Road end)

Short time bar

  April 2008: Roomy

The bar has had something of a makeover. It is a little roomier than before and looks good with its traditional red theme.

  January 2006: Clean and Fun Rooms

For clean and fun rooms I like La La and Mandarin. Both are clean, right upstairs and have mirrors. La La actually has more mirrors though.

  Summer 2005: Sexy Uniform

English owned bar with a dozen girls each sporting the sexy uniform shown left. Surely a friendly place. I am not sure that the Natural Planet channel selected for the bar TV is very appropriate but that is hardly the reason for choosing to drink there.

Short time is 500 Baht for girl and 300 Baht for the room. The shower is in a separate bathroom though.

The Classroom Bar is a large semi-open bar with a live band and a couple of pool tables.

The service staff are very friendly and it proved a good last stop on my way back to the hotel late at night or in the early hours. Some nice girls here but it seems more like a place you take a girl to rather than go there to find one.

Lion King

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (Beach Road end)

Bar and guesthouse. Started on the short time bar trade in June 2007. Closed September 2009. Now Willy's Hamgout.

Short time bar opened 2nd April 2009

  Notes from Pattaya-Addicts August 2009: Going Well

700 for the girl 300 for the room. Shower down the corridor, one room is curtained off

  Review May 2009: Good Start

The bar opened with enthusiasm with pretty girls and cheap drinks.

Originally the bar had a glass front so as to show off 2 coyote dancing girls. The open front rarely works well when privacy for short time interviews is preferred for most of the regulars to the soi. So, following rapidly in the footstep of other bars who have tried the open front approach, the curtains soon appeared.

  Review from Pattaya-Live April 2009: Cheapish drinks

The girls do look stunning in there uniforms which are different every day.

The expected high prices and bad attitude was completely wrong though and the old trick of putting the '10' on full time door duty didn't happen ether .

1000 BT for ST including room and cheapish drinks will certainly have my hard earned dosh a new home on a regular basis. The reason I say this is because the place was worth it! It was spotless, smelled nice and had been completely renovated upstairs to a very high standard.

Time will tell, but I suspect the new owner knows her stuff and has seen the way to survival and success in Pattaya.

  Review March 2006:

I must say that one of the best bars on soi 6 is the Lord Nelson, great staff and good crowd. And it is a perfect place to rest for a while.

  Summer 2005:

English themed pub without hostesses but with a happy gathering of customers.

The Love Club

Soi 6

Short time bar, now Amsterdamaged, see above.

  News February: Redevelopment

The bar is closed for extensive rework. This must be one of the most changing bars on Soi 6.

  Review October 2008: Design Flaw

The large bar seems to be suffering on the design front. The attempt to go open front was rapidly aborted and the current configuration seems ill suited to Soi 6.

There are some good quality sofas available, but these are arranged in a group affair like in the Friends coffee shop. Fine for a group, but not for the majority of the singleton Soi 6 customers. The first customer tends to claim the entire suite. Any other customers, out of deference to privacy, choose to sit at the bar.

The barstools are good though with leather and backs. But somehow stools never really allows for good interactive short time interviews with the girls.

There's also a low stage with 2 or 3 poles for dancing. But outside of parties, or spontaneity from the girls, it is not regularly used.

Still the bar currently has some good looking ladies, so I am sure they can still do well. After all, that's what really counts.

I have forgotten how much the drinks cost, but it was within the normal range.

  News August 2008: Re-Fronted

It only took 3 weeks for Love Club to realise that open fronted bars are not very successful on Soi 6 (although Pook lady boy bar opposite seem to do well).

So Love Club have now restored their front and therefore privacy for its short timers

  News August 2008: Open Love

Love Club on Soi 6 has changed a bit and has removed the front to become an open bar.

No doubt it won't be long before the close it in again. People go to Soi 6 to do things in private, not to be on show.

Mandarin Beer Bar on Soi 6 has given up on being an open bar and is re-installing the front wall.

  Review April 2008: Low Key

This must be one of the smallest operations on Soi 6 with usually 1-3 girls on duty.

They seem a little bit confused as to whether the bar is an open beer bar or a short time bar. There is a short time room but there is not quite the motivation to use it as most bars in the Soi.

In recent weeks the bar went from being closed to open and is no effectively closed again as the front wall has been replaced by a heavy curtain.

From 6pm
Live band from 9pm

Music pub without hostesses

 Review from Pattaya Secrets, June 2006: Sampler Tray

The live music starts after nine o'clock and the band was pretty good. Supposedly they were from the Philippines.

The food was good. I had an appetizer sampler tray. I wanted to finish it but couldn't. My lady had som tam and some nibbles off my tray. She liked her food and mine as well.

  Review from Pattaya Chat, June 2006: Wheat Beer

If your looking for a place to find girls then look elsewhere but I enjoyed it in there, there is a fairly good Filipino band and It gets quite busy from about 10pm, they serve Erdinger lager and wheat beer both draught and bottles, the bottles of wheat beer go down a dream but are expensive at 195bht for 500ml.

I'd recommend it as a place to take your girl if your looking to get away from the sleaze for a few hours, I took my girl friend's family in there and they were really impressed and enjoyed it, you get a lot of Germans getting up on the dance floor and so there's plenty to laugh at.

  October 2005:

Nicely decorated. Very quiet on a Monday night but this was attributed to it being the night off for the house band. The replacement band were not really capturing much interest.

Drinks are expensive and are in the rang 100-150 Baht.

Personally I will stick to the more lively music bars of Walking Street.

My Friend You Bar

Blow job bar, now has an outside bar section.

  Review From Alex Aug 2007: Oh My God!

What can I say but

OH MY GOD!!!! you don't get waitress service like that anywhere in England

Not to sure about the 300 Baht bar fine to stay in the bar though

  News From Pattaya Secrets Jan 2007: Couch's Back

Normal service has been resumed.

  News From Pattaya Secrets Dec 2006: Less Friendly

The bar has dropped the option for downstairs service on the very dark communal couches.

This is apparently in response to recently increased police hassle.

Of course, more private upstairs pleasure is still available.

  January 2006: No Thanks

I Visited the Belgian owned My Friend You Bar. As previously mentioned, it takes your eyes 20 minutes or so to get used to the total blackout.

ST room and shower worse than YMCA doss and the rooms are on the 3rd. floor - oldies need mountaineering gear.

Do not let your wallet out of your sight- take it with you in the shower. 800 Baht pays for room + lady. Pay the bar 300 Baht first and 500 Baht the lady after.

Mainly middle-aged female choice + 1 ladyboy.

This is a "no thanks" bar for me.

  December 2005: Lucrative

There are 3 bays each with 3 small sofas. The ambient lighting is unsurprisingly near darkness. There is no time for small talk here. The girls like to get straight to work on their job.

I think the impatience in getting on with the job is based on the steady stream of customers. All the sofas were taken on my visit, and at 800 baht a blow, it must be one of the most lucrative bars in Pattaya

New Blue Hawaii

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

From 2pm

Short time bar. Not to be confused with the ladyboy laden bar opposite.

  April 2004:

A great spot for an afternoon beer. The girls were friendly and there were lots of them. Some real lookers. The mamasan is named Vi as is a real charmer although she wants to many drinks. I had a great time there and found a couple of very charming ladies. It seems to me the drinks were a little pricy-100B lady drink but other than that I received great service. The big dude who sits outside and watches the front door is actually one the owners and if take the time to talk to him you will be very impressed.

  Review Oct 2008: Wishing for a Little Better

Small bar perhaps in need of a little refreshment.

The seating is not particularly well laid out for short time interviews. There is just one large sofa and the rest, stools at the bar or around small tables.

I chatted with a friendly girl but she was not the slightest bit hands on.

The drinks were reasonable at 70 Baht for a bottled beer and 100 Baht for a lady drink.

Seems a straightforward, decent bar but not really well laid out for the Soi 6 purpose.

  Review from Pattaya-Addicts, Sept 2008: Hassle Free

Nightwish is a nice little bar in that its welcoming and hassle free.

Girls seem to come and go frequently probably due to the fact that see more action going on in places like Red Point close by. The cashier is hot too and open to offers.

For me its better to sit and drink and watch the world go by as its a lot less in your face than other bars but more fun than Jack Tar over the road which is girl free.

No Name Bar

Welkom Inn
Pattaya Soi 3

www.welkominnthailand.com

There seems to be some confusion about the name of the short time bar at the Welkom Inn. The best bet is 'No Name Bar'. Hippo seems to be the name of a more conventional hotel bar/restaurant.

 Review from Richard, June 2008: The Black Hole

Amongst a group of expats we have named the bar THE BLACK HOLE.

We have been using the place for a number of years as an early afternoon drinking HOLE and entertainment centre.

I even have a poolside room in the welkom complex for a short 2 week stay every 6 months and it really is a most welcoming place for the middle aged chap.

Based in north Pattaya it is well away from the main areas but soi 2 and 6 make it hard to venture away from this well appointed area.

  Review July 2007: Lay Off Will You!

I was struggling to find an aircon bar in the area and stopped by more in need of a cool beer than a hot lady. So I didn't make a selection at the door.

I was followed in by a well presented but somewhat older lady who didn't really fire my enthusiasm. She went immediately into angling for  short time but was polite and courteous and not unduly pushy. Fair enough, no problem and she quickly drifted off.

Her place was immediately filled by an aging and drunk bar lady who was a total pest. She would not heed a polite suggestion to be left alone. I had a few words with service staff who were not the slightest bit interested in a discomfited customer.

It was surely the most unpleasant surroundings for a beer that I have endured for a long time in Pattaya.

Draught beer was 55 Baht.

  From Pattaya Secrets, April 2006: Well Seasoned

I know it can be hard/impossible to find and 8, 9 or 10 in Welkom Bar. Sometimes even a 7. But the girls are seasoned pros and there is an okay variety in body types. They got old, young, short, tall, fat, skinny, big and small asses, fake and natural tits. The selection can be limited right after they open the door, but after 2 pm the place is up and running. Can even get damn crowded later in the afternoon.

It seemed to me that a few of the rooms had fresh coat of paint and some new furniture, but others still had the grotty feel and molded smell. But I am used to it by now. 300 for the room and 700 for the girls. You can present pretty much any kind of fantasy in this place, they have heard it all before. In my opinion the Pattaya version of Eden Club.

  October 2005:

Plenty of girls on hand for all tastes. I spoke to some who were more than happy for a friendly chat/fondle and some who had a 2 word vocabulary of "go room". The beer garden is well appreciated though as the inside bar is used as a smoking room (tobacco that is). I had the impression it was mandatory to light up there.

  September 2005:

Crowded on weekends with Euro-Boozers wanting a Heiniken and a fondle. Never had any problems with the management or ladies - of which I would recommend Pompui Nok, Knockers Daew and Skinny Gaew. Room rate 200 Baht. Lady ~ 7-800 Baht - low/high season

  News Nov 2008: Rebuilt

The bar area was demolished but has now been rebuilt.

  June 2006:

I noticed that a lot of the ladyboys are getting very pushy with farangs as they walk by especially at nois bar beside kritts. Spoke to the manager Joy and owner Noi about this and they don't seem to want to know. A lot of guys get worked up with anger as they are being pushed and shoved by these ladyboys as they are trying to pass the bars

  Summer 2005:

I have spent quite a few hours here since Noi is a friend of my (former) girl friend. Noi and her husband (English guy) has always been a good host in the bar and they have quite a few good looking girls here.

There is a pool table in the back and a big screen TV where they show most football matches and formula 1.

  Review June 2008: Breezers

The bar has some attractive girls outside but I did not really enjoy the bar much. I offered to buy a lady drink and out came an expensive Breezer without getting my permission first.

I spoke to two girls and their only line of conversation was to 'go up'. Understandable, but not really very enjoyable.

Perhaps the best bet is to select a girl to go straight upstairs and to skip the interview drinks.

  Review from John, Feb 2008: Cool Beer

O Bar is now owned by an American. Repainted and clean. They have between 12 and 15 good girls every day.

It also has a sound system with 120,000 songs. Cool beer, good mixed drinks and good bartender.

  Review March 2009: Naughty

I stopped for a quick beer and got a little bit distracted by another customer who was getting down to some very naughty stuff.

  Review Sep 2007: Run Down

To put it bluntly, Pat Bar is a little run down. The dilapidated sofas were held together with a stretch cover that had seen better days. These perhaps contributed to the less than fresh odour that permeated the bar.

The bar staff were friendly and no doubt the girls would have proved equally friendly had we not shooed them away for not quite living up to our high expectations.

I was dreading a visit to the loos made out of necessity, but there was no need to worry as they were perfectly acceptable.

I have read a few reports that the girls in the bar can get quite naughty but somehow I didn't feel inclined to linger to find out.

English themed pub with no hostesses. See also Hotel Review

  Review April 2007: Bar Watching

I did pop by once before when I thought it would be good to watch the last England vs Australia test match in an 'a traditional English pub'. I popped out quick quick when they were showing American tennis! This leads me to doubt that there is any actual English connection to this bar.

Anyway I eventually visited again (TVs were off this time).

The bar is pleasantly decorated and features rows of tankards and glasses suspended from the ceiling.

The tables overlooking the short time bars are popular, presumably people like to feed one type of hunger whilst considering their options over the other type of hunger.

The range of farang beers was good but I stuck with draft tiger at 60 Baht (the bottled option was 70 Baht).

Newspapers are available for the short while it takes to knock up the food. The menu was extensive and the food was good but not exceptional. They probably take similar high quality boil in the bag/microwave catering supplies as other fine farang food restaurants in Pattaya.

Not many customers were lingering after eating though, there are better things to do in Soi 6

  From Queen Victoria Inn

A traditional English pub in the heart of Soi 6 where you can have a drink or traditional English cooking with no hassle. Live sport on large screen TV on Saturday and Sunday.

Note that this is not a short time bar as per the majority of those in Soi 6

Lady Drinks are now 150 Baht. Poor value indeed if you get one of the girls who's only contribution to social intercourse is an immediate go up now. But saying that other customers seemed to be getting better value for money.

  Review from Pattaya-Addicts, July 2009: Prices

65 Baht for Leo to 80 Baht for Singa Light, spirits 65 - 120 Baht.

  Review November 2008: Bicardi Breezer Trick

I popped by a couple of times and went inside, again to a hot lounge. But the aircon was then turned on and it cooled down.

I bought a few drinks and everything was cool.

On the subsequent visit the girl opted for an expensive Bicardi Breezer without asking first. Always pisses me off so the bar is now on my bars to avoid list.

  Review September 2008: A Hot Quicky

The bar is a little different from its immediate neighbours in that it features a prominent outside bar counter.

There is a back canoodling room but its existence isn't prominently signposted. It has rather a small neon sign to the lounge.

Inside there are a couple of poles, some sofa seating and a water feature. Even though one of the girls was well worthy of an interview, there was no way I could stay in the backroom due to a lack of aircon. I don't know if this was temporary or permanent, but it was impossibly hot.

The beer prices were reasonable.

The beer is already up for sale. Presumably due to it being done by a property developer rather than an indictment on the first few days of trading.

Red Door

  News January 2010: Re-development

The bar is currently undergoing extensive redevelopment.

Red Light Bar

Pattaya Soi 6  (Yodsak)

Short time bar.

  Review July 2008: Well Hot

The first thing to strike is that the narrow bar has a single bench seat running down the left hand side of the bar. The bar itself runs down the right hand side and it almost seems that the two halves of the bar are watching each other.

Not really a good layout for a short time bar where sofas offer a little better feeling of privacy and intimacy.

Perhaps this bar is a bit more of a drinking bar than the Soi 6 norm. However a short visit was as much as I could take, as my selected girl was overly demure and the aircon was overly ineffective.

Seemed a perfectly good bar otherwise with beer at 75 Baht and lady drinks at 100 Baht. The Room fee (no barfine required is 300 Baht)

I was also entertained by the work of a plastic surgeon, clearly inspired by the surreal exaggeration of Picasso when creating his breast art.

  Review:

I have been on a holiday to this super place. I had so much fun there with the Dutch owner Martijn. He is a party animal by birthright.

When you enter the place you will be amazed by the interior and friendly girl there. REALLY friendly if you mean my drift. It really looks great and regular party's are held to entertain everyone with anything.

Next years holiday I know where friends can come to to meat me because I will be there as long as my budget will allow to. With these prices you can stay for quite a while.

Be there or be square

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, July 2006: Humming

I've only been here once. I had read on some forum that it had the prettiest girls, and I think that proved to be true. I went upstairs, and it was indeed shabby. No shower in the room, either, which I guess is standard for soi 6 but I really don't want do deal with that anymore. And maybe I am the only one who cares about such things, but these short-time rooms gross me out. They do not change the bedding in these places all day (if not all week), even though dozens of women get pounded into the mattress every day. The best you can hope for is a new large towel on top of the bed. No thanks.

I do not like the places where you get the hummer while sitting at the bar -- not comfortable enough for me. I like the couch hummer, where I can really stretch back and enjoy myself. Any suggestions for other bars with excellent couch hummers? That did not seem to be an option at Red Point during my only visit. I did see a partially hidden alcove on the far back right of the bar that might have some promise.

  Review from Pattaya Pages, June 2006: Hold Out for the Best

I have always liked the Red Point the best. On the north side of Soi 6, 50 yards or so from Beach Road. Big red dot on the sign.

The mamasan trains her girls well. They don't bother you for drinks. Usually very good BBBJ, rim, etc. A few 3-holers. Rooms upstairs are decent.

When you walk up there are usually girls sitting out front on the street. If you do not see one you like just go inside and sit down on one of the sofas. If you do not like the first girls who sits with you, just hold out. Mamasan will eventually throw one of her best looking ones at you.

Route 69 Bar

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar. Soft drinks 60 Baht, Bottled beer 80 Baht

  Review from Pattaya Chat, Dec 2006:

Short time rooms at Route 69 are horrible. Just a mattress on the floor with separate showers

Prices are now 300 Baht for the room and 700 for the girl paid upfront.

  Review from Tim, Oct 2006: The Price is Right

Had a few girls at the front door that interested me.. went in.. a bit dark as are ALL the bars.. a nice girl followed.. however not to my taste.. I asked for another girl.. again not to my taste.. NOW these girls were attractive and friendly.. but I have my own taste in women.. finally got a nice girl..

ALL of the girls NEVER ask me to buy them a drink.. after a few minutes.. went upstairs for a roll in the hay as they say.. price was right.. 300 + 500.. no hassle.. rooms are bit on the old side and shower is as well.. but I was there for an afternoon of fun.. not to live there.. In fact returned there a few times for other girls.. all were friendly, no hassle and good in bed

  Comment June 2010: No Aircon

One to cross off the list for me, the bar seems to be struggling along without aircon

  Review Nov 2009: Whatever Happened to Ruby?

Ruby re-opened after a refit towards the end of October.

The basic change is that some of the area has been opened out into an outside terrace. There is still an indoor bar though.

There were several customers on the new terrace mostly watching sport on decent sized TVs. But not really what I am into, so I selected one of just 3 girls sitting outside and headed for the aircon.

The inside bar is a little disappointing. It used to have nice curvy bays of seating and a good feeling of being able to hide away a bit. The current layout is a regimented sequence of comfortable sofas arranged in several bays but all close together. They are all arranged to have a good view of the large screen sports TV.

Definitely more of a soulless sports bar than a short time bar.

My selected drinking partner would have been more at home as a sports bar waitress too. Clearly not into short time options. We didn't hit it off, so our bored gaze was soon drawn to whatever was on TV. I Soon finished the 75 Baht bottle of beer and headed off for somewhere a little less TV dominated.

But on the way out, the good number of customers reminded that other folks have other preferences and actually the bar seemed to be doing quite well.

  News Jul 2009: Closed for renovations

Said to be closed for 2 months for renovation. The bar will then feature dancing, maybe even a gogo.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, May 2008: Plush

Rooms very good. A fair mix of merchandise. Drinks are about the cheapest for that end of street. The seating area is very plush with good air-con.

300 for the room and 500 for the girl.

  January 2006:

Ruby has excellent short time rooms. Large, clean, modern, mirrored ceiling and walls, big beds, adjustable lighting and very large showers.

Room 250 and girl 500 for some of the best short time fun on soi 6.

  November 2005:

Plush interior with several bars of comfortable sofas. The expected clutch of pretty young things were well friendly.

  Review by Ken, Oct 2008: Great Hosts

Saigon Girl is owned by Terry and Nung previously of T.G. bar. He and his wife are great hosts and make all patrons welcome. He is also a keen biker who will always talk about his passion. I have known Terry for several years and he is a constant information source on what is happening in pattaya.

  Review by Materialsman, Oct 2008: Little Red Hats

Before ‘stumps up’ decided that one more beer wouldn’t go amiss, so we stumbled off to the Saigon Girl bar in Soi 6. I have a hazy recollection of being in this bar last Thursday, and remember being captivated by the red uniforms and little red hats all the girls were wearing, and so it was!

The bar has a sort of confused Saigon theme, posters of The Deer Hunter, and a mural of the poster of the sunset from Apocalypse Now on one wall, as well as many posters of various big hairy motorcycles, perhaps the owner is some sort of grizzled Harley Davidson riding Vietnam Vet?

The girls are not the prettiest in the Soi, but they make up for that with their rare enthusiasm for their work, and the uniform works for me, you probably think I am some kind of uniform obsessed pervert right? Probably 100% spot on! So, two drinks later, and a couple of lady drinks nestled in the bins, it was time for me to mosey on home, but as I stand up and take one last look around before diving through the curtain, I see my drinking buddy on a sofa with two cuddly girls, one either side of him, massaging his privates for all they are worth, dressed in those pretty red uniforms, and still wearing the hats, a lovely memory, a Kodak moment indeed, ain’t life in Pattaya grand!

  Review Oct 2007: Apocalypse Now

The opening night was well attended with plenty of food laid on to keep an army of bikers well fed.

In anticipation of a good turnout the owners had closed down their Route 69 bar for the evening and reposted the girls for duties in Saigon Girl.

The war theme of the bar is surely unique in Pattaya. The walls are decorated by pictures of the Vietnam War. Partitions around the bar are made from "Explosives" canisters. There's even a NAAFI seemingly located in the loos. The girls were wearing military styled skirts and blouses but somewhat skimpier than female troopers may wear. The peace badge seemed slightly out of place though. A couple of jeeps were parked outside the bar for extra effect.

Presumably Rest & Recreation is the purpose of the bar but the bar layout seems a bit of a disaster for this purpose.

There are comfortable seats but these arranged facing the bar almost like as if to provide a show for the people sitting at the bar. There's not a shred of privacy and when a girl was taking good personal care of me, I somehow saw the entire bar as an auditorium with me and my girl being the performers.

There are a couple of dance poles on podiums but the bar isn't going into the gogo business.

  Review Sept 2008: Hardened

May be coincidence but my only 2 visits to this bar in the last year have been a total disaster. Both cute looking girls who made not the slightest attempt to be friendly. Obviously well used to fluttering their eyelids and persuading the guy to go straight upstairs.

For me the half the fun is in the chase, so the bar is crossed off the list for the moment.

Nothing otherwise wrong with the bar though, looks ok, reasonable beer prices and the bin gets put on your table.

No doubt I can be easily persuaded to return if I spot a friendly looking girl.

  December 2005: Slinky

Two hostesses in slinky black dresses greeted us as we entered, while a third lovely lass proceeded to climb on an impromptu stage in her birthday suit. She then gyrated to random hip hip offerings.

Sexy Soi Six is a classic short time bar. It is one of the classier establishments amongst the bars in this high rent district.

  Review August 2009: No Kisses and No Smoke

Another bar from the team that designed the newly opened Smoke & Mirrors.

Again the theme is an outside sitting area with bar and an inside aircon area also with a bar.

This bar is a little narrower than Mirrors and this reflects in a bench seat down one side. This time the inside bar is an extension of the outside bar and this saves a fair bit of space. There is a little more seating at the back of the bar and a dancing pole at the front. It is attractive and stylish but the open layout doesn't offer much in the way of privacy for short time interviews.

The drinks prices were very reasonable at 80 Baht for a my beer and 80 Baht for a lady beer.

I would have stayed longer but my lady did a pre-arranged runner and there were few appealing replacements.

The bar has connections with Quicky Bar, another recent bar on Soi 6. It shares the idea of having an open drinking section out front for those that like to watch Soi 6 go by. And an aircon inside are for those who prefer a bit more privacy for their choice of entertainment. No doubt the design will come into its own should ever the smoking ban get enforced.

The drinks counter is actually in the outside section but there is also an unused bar in the inside room. The inside room features the expected comfortable seating and plenty of large mirrors on the wall. I am told that large wall mirrors feature in the short time rooms too.

The drinks prices were reasonable and the bar seems well run.

The bin appeared with the drinks which is something that is happening less and less on Soi 6. Not having the bin available for inspection is an incredibly tempting opportunity for bill padding. So it is something I particularly look out for these days.

I am a bit doubtful about the name though, in my dictionary Smoke & Mirrors means: "something that is intended to draw attention away from something else that somebody would prefer remain unnoticed". I was a bit worried that my girl may therefore turn out to be a boy...but that surely wasn't the case.

Short time bar opened 9th May 2009

  Review May 2009: Typical

To be fair I normally would have walked on by due to the girls on show, but being inquisitive I said hello to a girl and walked in.

It turns out to be a perfectly typical Soi 6 bar with sofas set out cross ways down the bar. It is perhaps smaller than most because they have made a bit of space out front for those that would like to have a cigarette outside.

Unfortunately my drinking partner was a hardened Soi 6 lady who simply was not interested in pleasantries nor an enticing interview. So things didn't pan out.

A bottle of beer is set at around the 75 Baht mark.

A bit of a naff visit, but there was nothing to suggest things wouldn't be better on another day with a different girl.

Soi 6 Corner Bar

Now an open bar, previously a short time bar. Doesn't have short time rooms. Has a room arrangement with nearby bar but this will cost room charge + barfine.

  Review from Pattaya Addicts, May 2009: Place to Meet

Great place to meet and service girls while being ugly are great fun

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, July 2007: Great Sofas

Chris, the owner, is a nice bloke & told me few things about what to expect in town & his sofas are a great place to chill & friendly staff, too.

It does get very very warm but the cute little hostesses were more than obliging with the cold flannels.

  December 2005:

Has removed a couple of walls to convert from an inside bar into an open beer bar. I don't know if they will concentrate on short times or become a more traditional bar with the emphasis on drinks and the occasional takeaway.

  November 2005:

Clean, pleasant bar with friendly girls and not expensive. The short time room is presentable. I do not know if she is still there, but two of the biggest knockers on one lassie that I have ever seen in Thailand. Standard Soi 6 prices.

Pattaya Soi 6/1
(Opposite back entrance to Queen Vic)

Beer bar

  Review from Ryan, Dec 2007: Great Wee Place

For a few drinks before you venture out is the Soi6/1 Beer Bar named after the soi and is across the road from the back exit of the Queen Vic.

One cracking looking lady works there but the rest are a mixed bag, but you don't go here for that its a great wee place for few beers and the staff are great. Also if you bring along any music DVDs you want played they will play it for you.

The taxi motor bike rank is based outside of it and they are also a great bunch of guys.

  Review by Stephan, Oct 2009: Fair Prices

I never had a problem with the bin at this bar. But it's true they not always put it on the table. As I'm a regular customer I don't care. My girl takes care I always receive a correct tab. Have also to mention that prices in this bar are fair.

They allow smoking in the bar (the owner himself does), which can be quite annoying for non-smokers.

  Review, Nov 2008: Bin Keeping

The bar is still operating without providing bin chits. Even on asking they had to be written out, just kept by memory before. Not a place to get drunk and lose track of the tab.

Can't comment of the rest, my girl was shagged out and just wanted to sleep.

  Review, October 2006: Check the Bin

A bit of a warning sign when your bin is kept at the bar instead of being sent to your table. And sure enough on checking...a mythical drink had been added.

The girls launch straight into premium price ladydrinks without asking permission too.

Pretty ladies though, so one can get easily distracted...

  Review, June 2006: Discrete Sign

Unassuming bar that I hadn't spotted before. As one speeds past it seems to be part of the Butterfly Bar but there is a separate sign if you look.

The girls were a mixed bunch with some looking attractive in their white blouses and tartan skirts.

The bar is pretty standard inside with drinks, sofas and music videos on TV. Well distracted by an old friend so didn't spend much time examining the decor. There was a fair amount of toing and froing in the bar but not actually much coming and going.

There were a couple of tense moments in the bar as one of the girls seemed a little argumentative after a few too many drinks.

Karaoke & Beer bar

  News from Pattaya Mail, Nov 2006: Thugs Justice

Police were called and found a farang suffering from a 5cm long gash on the forehead, his cheeks were swollen and he also had a split lip. He was in a dazed state.

He told police that he was sat drinking at the bar alone and became drunk. He got into an argument with the Thai female bar owner and slapped her once before she sent him out of the bar and instructed five youths to beat him up outside.

The owner denied instructing the youths to beat up the farang, saying that they witnessed him slap her and were good Samaritans and took him to task for hitting a Thai woman.

Short time bar, previously The Trinity Arch.

  News June 2008: Dream On

The bar went dark in April 2008 and re-opened in June 2008. Licensing problems were cited.

  Review by Jack, Oct 2009: All in All a Reasonable Bar

My drinking partner was good company and very hands on which made for an enjoyable stay.

The bar had about 12 girls working the evening I was there of which there were some good lookers.

Short time in house 1000bt. (300bt Barfine 200bt Room & 500bt for the girl). Takeaway Barfine 300bt, 500bt Short Time, 1000bt Longtime.

Drink prices same as Soi 6.

All in all a reasonable bar.

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

British owned short time bar.

  Review Oct 2007: Bins on the Bar

The bar operates the policy of keeping the bins on the bar rather than in front of the customer. It always seems that the bar has something to hide when they do this, and in this case they were hiding the fact that lady drinks cost a very expensive 125 Baht. (Bottled beer was 65)

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Aug 2007: Not Nice

Bar is small and the short time rooms are not that nice. 300 Baht for the room and 700 Baht for the girl.

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar. Converted from a restaurant in April 2007. Check you don't get stung for the 150 Baht lady drink.

  Review Nov 2008: Duff Interview Technique

I  have stopped by an couple of times and not been impressed. I have just been unlucky but the girls made no attempt to provide any sort of interview, just knew 2 phrases: buy drink, go room

We have no lady boys anymore, only ladies.

2nd Road (corner Soi 2)

Beer bar with a band

  News from Pattaya Pages, August 2006: Toys for the Boys

Classroom 2 on soi 2 was sold last week along with Toy Bar opposite on soi 2, these were sold to a wealthy English guy for £200,000 (14 million Baht). He intends to spend another £50,000 doing them up so there will be a few changes there later on.

  Summer 2005: Plenty of Ladies

My appointed meeting bar with plenty of ladies to play a little Connect 4 with. Their choice of dance music does not seem to match their generally older clientele but I guess the customers are used to that in Pattaya.

Later on the music swings back to rock & roll classics as a local band takes the stage.

Closed, Honey Pot now takes its place

  Review by Tim, Oct 2006: Brit Style

Nice place.. food typical Brit style.. beer a bit pricy for there but oh well a few guys sitting around and drinking beer.. clean.. nice people.. friendly.. food OK.. had dinner.. so do not know about the Breakfasts.. but good quality and quantity.

  Review from Pattaya Chat, June 2006: Well Run Gaff

Been in there a couple of times, seems like a well run gaff and the kao pad gai I had was certainly very nice.

Was in there last night having a few beers with a couple of friends and the owner and felt quite at home, they have San Miguel light which I've never had before but seemed like a decent enough drop of booze and certainly set me on the way. Also have draught Bass.

There is ample parking behind the complex, just turn off 2nd Road and drive straight though past Tropical berts on your right and you'll se the car park.

  Thanks to John & Stickman, February 2006:

The bar is bigger, has 4 TVs, high speed internet for customers and the food is even better than before with the acquisition of a new chef, Josh ex Shenanigans and Queen Vic. The beer is cheaper than most beer bars. A good place to chill out away from the chaos that is much of Pattaya.

Beer bar

  Review from Pattaya Addicts, Oct 2007:

Across from the Honey Pot. They have sheesha which caught my nostrils. Sat down and my god, the place was full of sweet things.

They had workers of all persuasions, but not pushy. Excellent music and took some requests for Linkin Park, Clash and mamasan Tan was a great hostess.

U Too Bar

2nd Road

www.u-too-bar.com

Large beer bar with several pool tables. A Belgian manager previously worked at Atlantic Bar

  Reviews from Pattaya-Addicts, March 2009: Well Liked

A very, very good bar. The girls were very attentive, no disappearing after lady drink has been consumed and not real pushy about lady drinks either.

Was there last night. Very good atmosphere with most of the girls conversing with customers . Quality and quantity.

  News from Thai Visa, Dec 2008: Flattened

It is reported that U Too Bar will move across the road to the old Easyrider venue due to the impending redevelopment of the current location.

Update: A rumour that hasn't panned out

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, Nov 2007: Loved It

Went into U Too bar a few nights before I came home from my recent trip & absolutely loved it, great pretty girls, lots of pool tables and great for sport and music was good too.

However prices are generally high and some of the girls are reported as being a bit selective.

Barfines for hostesses are 400 Baht and 500 Baht for coyote dancers. Lady drinks are 120 Baht of which the girl only gets 30 Baht. ST & LT prices are set at the level for gogos.

  Review from Ryan, Oct 2007: Championship Standard

The u too bar is ran by 4 partners, the one I know personally is Patrick from the Atlantic Bar. Patrick is a nice guy who always makes you feel welcome.

The bar has 4 pool tables (championship standard) and 2 large TV screens for sports, also has own squeaky clean toilets which are free, and also has some cracking looking woman working there as well.

If you are a first timer to Pattaya I would recommend you going here as Patrick will see you all right.

  Review from Pattaya Rag, Sep 2007: Start High

Started the night in U Too Bar and the bar has more than it's fair share of stunning ladies. It's seems to me that the number and quality grow week on week. In some ways it's a bad place to start the night cause it's difficult for other bars to compete so it's always going to be downhill from there.

Pattaya Soi 6  (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar

 Review May 2008: Both Ways

The bar seems to be operating with a girls entrance on Soi 6 and a lady boy entrance on Soi 6/1. I found this mixture a little inhibiting so made a rapid exit.

Beach Road

Beer bar

Beer bar

Summer 2005:

If you start from 2nd Road and run the Soi 6 gauntlet, then this is the first beer bar you see when reach the respite of Beach Road. Maybe the customers here just have a beer as a break before running the return leg. Nevertheless short time is still on the mind and the girls in this bar are well supportive of such suggestions.

I have also used the bar as a meeting point with those residing in Soi 6 hotels who need a bar to buy a beer rather than select a short time girl friend.

Viking Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar

  Review September 2009: Decor

The black decor featuring cut out moon and stars rather suggest this bar hasn't been decorated for years. The sofas were better than some though.

The drinks prices were OK at 120 Baht for a lady beer and 80 Baht for a bottled beer. The bin was brought to the table which seems to be getting rarer these days.

My drinking partner proved to be good company which made for an enjoyable stay.

There were a couple of rather over the top lady boys on the books.

I don't usually think a grim decor is much of a problem in a bar, but for a bar where going up is the name of the game, then it would be good to try and convince customers that it won't be too grim upstairs with a nice decor downstairs.

  Review from TeakDoor, Jan 2007: Sleazy

This is my kind of place, low end dirty and sleazy, But most importantly they do have some nice girls for rent.

This place is completely lacking in class and taste, but people don't go to Soi Yodsak for that sort of stuff anyway.

Moving onto the bedrooms, they only have one that has air con, the others are all fan rooms, and of course you have the joy of the shared bathroom

There seems to be some confusion about the name of the short time bar at the Welkom Inn. The best bet is 'No Name Bar' so see above.

Whiskey Whisky Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Whiskey bar with aircon. No short time rooms. 300/500 ST/LT barfines

  From Whiskey Whisky, April 2008: No-Hassle Drinking Bar

The wife (Saree) and I run a no-hassle drinking bar. No ST rooms. Bar fine outs only.

We presently stock around 60+ Whiskies, couple dozen Vodkas, a dozen Gins, dozen and half Tequilas, dozen or so Rums.......as well as beer, coolers and the usual Baileys, Kahlua etc etc.

Punters are welcome to select their own music from around 12,000 tracks on the PC.

There are girls but hands on fun is not encouraged in the bar and the girls set their own prices which are not bound by the Soi 6 norm.

  Review from Thai Visa, August 2006: Wide Variety

Great Aircon spot in the middle of the gauntlet. It specialises in a wide variety of whiskeys. The owner is fabulous - she really makes an effort to go out of her way to make you feel at home.

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.

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
