Beer bar
This is one of my fav bars it is like my local away from home. Towards the 2nd Road end of Soi 8 across from the U2 bar. Again a mixed bag with the girls but is made up for by the friendliness of everyone in the bar. The toilets are shared with the bar next door and are mixed clean but will cost 5 bht. I find it a great bar for me what counts is the staff and how friendly they are well worth a visit anytime of night/morning

"Beer bar
December 2005:
I sit down and ask the lady how much is a Chang Beer, not noticing that the prices are all posted on the wall (40 baht I think). She mistakenly tries to sell me 2 beers. I say I only want one. She gets all pissy and says something to the cashier, who points at me and says something in Thai followed by "Stupid Falang". Then the bartender says I should buy her a LD since I screwed up the order. Then another girl frowns at me when I smile at her. This is not going well.
I immediately check bin and a different girl asks, "What wrong?" I explain to her that I'm from Las Vegas and I make tips for a living and I usually tip well, but since none of the Sailor Bar staff seem happy to have me there, I'm leaving after I drink my beer, UNLESS someone does something to change my mind. This girl immediately took it upon herself to entertain me by dancing around and generally schmoozing for the next hour.
Things took a turn for the better, some different server girls appeared who were fun, the electricity even went out at one point and they lit candles for our drinking pleasure. I had two more beers and bought a LD for her, then tipped her 100 baht. I will return."

Brauhaus

Soi 8

German Restaurant
November 2005:
I was rather suckered into this one thinking that I could partake in locally brewed Weisenbier. However the 'brau' or brewery part of the bar seemed to be down or defunct. There were a couple of imported bottles available but it was a pretty naff selection and was very pricy.
The aircon was deficient too which made for a pretty brief meal. A bit of a shame as the food was very good.
The inside restaurant is free of hostesses but in the front beer garden there is a small bar that is staffed by ladyboys

Chang Bar

March 2006:
I like Chang bar off 2nd road near soi 9. Great staff, reasonable beer prices and no hassles or attitudes."

Cherry Bar

Beach Road: (centre)

Soi 8

"Beer bar
The owner reports about the trials and tribulations of running a bar on Pattaya Talk under the board name Hammer.
March 2006:
Hammer seems a very popular host, many reports of useful assistance to newbies and the bar is well established as the meeting/starting point of many a Pattaya bar crawl.
The bar seems lively and successful enough probably assisted by visitors from PattayaTalk. Certainly overshadows neighbouring bars."

I went to the Chicken Farm to say hello to the crazy mamasan that runs the place. The music was way too loud so I went to the Cherry Bar

Always a quiet bar. It seems that Soi 8 visitors prefer more open plan beer bars and don't like wondering into the quiet interiors of a shop bar.

"Beer bar
June 2006:
You could do worse than pop down my place. The Coral Reef bar opposite the Sunshine hotel. Decent 70's/80's music, friendly staff and a decent bunch of lads, both holiday makers and expats. No air con, sorry but plenty of fans and a good view of the nightly parade up and down the soi!!"

Golden Time Beer Bar

Beach Road:

"My favourite beer bar.
Review April 2006: More Golden Times
The lively owner and manageress, Fon (pictured centre), seems to put more effort into welcoming the customers than most nearby bars. The bar is always popular as a result.
Golden Time has now expanded into the next door bar which was always relatively quiet.
One of the features of the Golden Time is the chrome pole which is used for occasional dancing and also for a climbing challenge. The fit and athletic are invited to climb the poll and write their name on the ceiling. I am sure there are suitable rewards for success and penalties for failure."

Harley Pub

Theprassit
Noon - Midnight

Soi 8

"Short time bar with about 30 girls.
Jan 2005:
The Harley bar is big. It looks like an old fashioned Western themed bar you might see in Arizona. They have 3 or 4 pool tables in the back. If you decide to take a girl, there is a 150 baht bar fine and 200 baht for a ST room in the hotel. The rooms are nice since it is a relatively new hotel. Red silk sheets.
I asked the girl how much and she asked me why I was asking and then quoted 1000 Baht (going rate is 700). They had some good looking girls though
July 2004:
Suffered the uninvited and ego sapping attractions of the oldest woman in the bar who would not go away even when given the cold shoulder treatment. Only option is to leave. Why on earth do the managers allow this to happen. Never again...even though it is my local short time bar."

"Beer bar
December 2005: Bottled for a Disputed Bar Tab
From Pattaya Talk
I rang the bell upon arrival at the bar, around 2030. When the slips are placed in my bin I always immediately look them over. I can count too, and there was 2 drinks extra for 150 baht on the white slip Asked what for and the cashier told me for Buddha.
Around 0200ish or so something happened that opened my eyes to a whole new meaning to" sisterhood" with the girls here. A farang with a rather disheveled appearance, was sitting with some of the ladies at the tables by the soi. Well an argument ensured between the farang and a bar girl. From what I could glean out of the Thai and english cursing the farang was refusing to pay for his drinks for some reason. My girl took an empty 2 liter glass Coke bottle and held it behind her back. One of the girls also put a box of empty bottles up on the bar and several of the TG's armed themselves, hiding them behind their backs as well. Mama and the cashier, convinced the farang to move on.
So it is now around 0300. Within 30 minutes after having left, the farang returned and he and the bar girl resumed their "cultural exchange" in the middle of the soi. It quickly turned violent and physical. The bar girls quickly rearmed themselves and the farang was stuck by several girls with empty bottles, including by my tirac who broke that large 2 liter coke bottle over his head. The girls seemingly struck the first blows in the ensuing beating Papa got involved and eventually the police were on the scene.
I just want to stress again to any newbie reading this about what I have read, been told, and now seen with my own eyes. DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT, lose your temper with Thai. Do not forget how far down the food chain you are here. You will not win. Just smile, pay the ticket, bill or whatever and move on, quickly. If you witness some altercation or accident DO NOT GET INVOLVED and let the Thai handle it. Its their country. My personal rule is act ONLY IN SELF DEFENSE. You never know how these things may QUICKLY escalate and guns and knives are known to be used here."

Soi 8

"Beer bar
November 2005:
AT the early hour of 8pm the bar seemed well stocked with pretty girls. Presumably they will get depleted rapidly as the night rolls on.
Possibly the 'Premier' is a reference to the Premier League, particularly as the bar was showing an Everton match when I visited. I have a feeling that any fan would prefer to listen to the commentary though, which was pretty nigh on impossible. A band playing Shadows numbers seemed to be top of the cacophony table."

Review June 2006: A Pleasant Break
The bar is British owned and features a large TV screen for the football and a pool table towards the back of the bar. Service was good and there are a few girls on hand for a chat. A pleasant break from some of the noisier and crazier bars nearby

Beer bar with music
Review from Pattaya Chat, May 2006: Sanuck
I've tended to use "We are the World Bar" as somewhere to go with a girl on the way back to hotel, the live music does make a big difference and I think that it is that that attracts many.
The beer is also fairly cheap and it's a very laid back and friendly place; I've had much sanuck with the staff there. You don't get much hassles for lady drinks either but company is immediately available if you want it.
Can also get food right outside from the passing Beach Road travelling caterers and the staff don't mind you eating in the bar, though it's even better to share some with them
December 2005:
Cheap beer and some decent looking girls at night. The daytime crew leaves a bit to be desired in the looks department, but sanuk mak at night.
November 2005:
Managed by Tian. He also runs the Eagle Bar, the World Wide A GoGo and the World Wide Bar.
A nice bar to take a Thai girl as they love to watch rather than just listen and the music there is not bad, with 3 good singers.
All serve 50 baht Hieneken"
