Beer bars | Hello from the Five Star Vagabond

Craft Beer A-One Pattaya

July 19, 2020 by David Herd

Craft Beer A-One Pattaya

Craft Beer A-One Pattaya at the Royal Cruise hotel, which is named because it looks like an actual cruise ship. Malibrew is a rather spectacular bar & an interesting concept, with some good points & some bad which we will discuss below.

Main entrance is on Soi 2.

About 60 meters from Beach Road.

Happy hour is between 5 & 6 pm.

You can get 2 for one Singha for only B120 or $3.80 USD. The bar has only been open for a few days & strangely enough has no craft beer on sale yet.

Price list

Red wine is B290 per glass which is way too expensive in my opinion.

Open plan kitchen

The food is very reasonably priced.

Cold appetizers

good selection here.

Main course

Menu is a computer tablet, my preference is a normal style menu, but I guess I’m a bit of a dinosaur. 🙂

More main course choices

I had the spaghetti & meatballs.

Spaghetti & meatballs

Enjoyable without being exceptional.

Beer taps are not connected yet.

I can’t help wondering why they opened before the craft beer was available.

Another dining area

Lots of places to sit at Malibrew Craft Beer A-One Pattaya.

Here is the entertainment area

I have already admitted to being a dinosaur so please view my comments accordingly. I was 2/3 through my meal at 7.30 & the music started. A guitarist & a drummer decided to pound out around 100 decibels. It was so loud I didn’t finish my meal, I just paid my bill & left.

Many thanks for visiting my Craft Beer A-One Pattaya photo blog.

October 25, 2018 by David Herd

Pattaya’s last frontier

Bars Babes LadyBoys Pattaya

Bars Babes LadyBoys Pattaya Thailand, you will find them all in Soi 6 Pattaya, which runs 400 meters from Beach Road to 2nd Road.

Soho bar Soi 6

The girls are waiting for a hansum man. 🙂

Beer Babes LadyBoys Pattaya Soi 6

Reasonably quite during the daylight hours this famous street comes to life after dark.

Soi 6 is not known for top shelf babes

In fact in my opinion the majority are rather average. However this no way detracts from the fun & the non stop action in Pattaya’s most notorious Soi.

Photo shoot

I can spot at least two LadyBoys here.

Very glamorous

Dressed to kill. 🙂

Hamish & I watching the parade

Not many streets in Thailand as interesting as Soi 6.

Bars Babes LadyBoys Pattaya

Probably Pattaya’s 2nd most famous Street after Walking St.

Anyone for a fruit smoothie?

As you can see Soi 6 is not all about booze & babes. 🙂

Kelaya 66 is a new bar.

It’s October 2018 & I’m not sure what Kelaya is like but I’ll let you know after I visit.

Sandman is owned by an Aussie guy, Larry Peebles..

A nice friendly bar that shows both AFL & NRL. They also have good food including the terrific Aussie burger for B250 or $10.80 AUD.

Aussie Burger was delicious.

Sandman also have good food including this terrific Aussie burger for B250 or $10.80 AUD.

A very good addition to Soi 6, a little more upmarket than many others.

Shopping for a new dress

Retox Sports bar Pattaya

June 11, 2017 by David Herd

Soi 7-Pattaya-beer-bar-sexy-babes-hotels

This Pattaya sports bar has closed permanently due to Covid-19 in May 2021

Retox Sports Bar Pattaya

Retox Sports Bar Pattaya has more TV screens showing sport from all over the world than any other bar in Pattaya.

No smoking section

Thankfully 1/3 of the huge bar is non smoking so this suits me fine.

Still non smoking

This is the other end of the non smoking section, the service is always good just ring the bell & a girl comes running.

Did I mention the service? 🙂

Sometimes these bikini babes can effect your concentration on the sport. 🙂

Great value breakfast

This is their “small breakfast,” excellent value at B95 or $3.70 AUD.

The healthy breakfast.

Same price as the small breakfast at B95.

Hamish & I at Retox

We had AFL one one channel, Rugby League on another & England versus Australia in cricket on another. 🙂

Gorgeous Phung

One of the very pretty girls working at Retox Sports Bar Pattaya.

Phung also enjoys a beer. 🙂

Of course like any of the Pattaya bars the girls are always looking for a drink. 🙂

You can rent a room right upstairs, use THIS LINK for a good discount.

Very good snack

Pie, peas, chips & gravy, delicious.

Retox Sports Bar is just a few metres from 2nd Rd.

Soi Honey is actually Soi 11 & Retox has one entrance there and another on Soi 10.

Location

As you can imagine it is one of the biggest sports bars in Pattaya.

Part of their large menu

Lots of choices at reasonable prices, both western & Thai food.

Lots of sport, good food & service.

Retox Sports Bar Pattaya is the total package for sports fans & those who like good pub food at reasonable prices.

Farewell from Pattayas biggest sports bar.

Soi 8 Pattaya Hotels Bars Babes

May 8, 2017 by David Herd

Soi 8 Pattaya Hotels Bars Babes

Soi 8 Pattaya Hotels Bars Babes, the narrow street runs from Beach Road as you can see in the photo, to 2nd Road. A couple of small alleys run through to Soi 7 which is close by.

Burger King on Beach Rd

Burgher King has just opened in April 2017 & is located on Beach Rd between Soi 8 & Soi 7.

Looking west towards the beach.

The main difference between Soi 7 & 8 are the many hotels in 8, Soi 7 has more bars & pubs. Both Soi’s are right among the action, it’s probably wise to stay in Soi 8 which may be slightly quieter than 7. 🙂

Sunshine Hotel & Residences

Rooms for around B1100 or $32 usd, rated 72 out of 444 hotels in Pattaya by TripAdvisor. For an excellent room rate just book through THIS LINK.

Rolling Live is the place for good music.

Rolling Live is a chain of live music bars throughout Pattaya, where customers can enjoy a selection of live music and rock music classics.

Patsy Beer Bar

One of the popular Soi 8 beer bars where you can sit & watch the passing parade.

Small lane between 8 & 7.

Here is a shortcut between the two Sois, there are some bars in case you get thirsty. 🙂

Sunbeam Hotel Pattaya is opposite the bars.

A little more expensive with a nice pool, you will get a room for around B1700 or $49 usd if you book through THIS LINK.

The Ant Bar is an interesting name. 🙂

Lets hope there are no angry ants there. 🙂

The guiter looks better from the other side.

This is the rusty side of the guitar as you can clearly see.

Very quiet because……

It’s only 9am, come back later. 🙂

There is the beach.

Soi 7 Pattaya Pubs Bars Babes

May 3, 2017 by David Herd

A great street for bars & pubs.

Soi 7 Pattaya Pubs Bars Babes

Soi 7 Pattaya Pubs Bars Babes along with it’s neighbour Soi 8 is one of Pattaya’s most popular drinking, eating & partying areas. Above is the corner of Soi 7 & Beach Rd.

Hello Welcome from Silver Star A go go

I was waiting for the Silver Star lady to yell out “HELLO WELCOME” which is heard nearly every time you walk past a Pattaya bar. 🙂

Olala bar & restaurant

Above is Ola la specializing in Norwegian and Thai food.

Breakfast at Olala.

They claim on their website to offer the beat breakfast in Pattaya which I strongly dispute. It’s no better or worse than many other Thai style bacon sausages & eggs. The eggs were excellent, the bacon average & the typical Thai sausages I didn’t eat. The cost was B145 including toast, jam, tea or coffee.

Eastiny Bella Vista

Located just behind Olala on the side road to Soi 8. Rooms here are around $25 per night if you book through THIS LINK.

Shower B20 & toilet B5. 🙂

What a bargain, especially if you have just come off the beach.

Lots of beer bars

Rather quiet through the day and very busy at night.

2nd Road entrance.

Soi 7 runs from Beach Rd through to 2nd Rd which is very convenient if you are travelling by Baht Bus.

Soi 7 Pattaya Pubs Bars Babes

The Pig & Whistle Pub one of the popular pubs in Soi 7.

Breakfast at The Pig & Whistle Soi 7.

I always ask them to remove the fried potato & tomato, this is what remains for B135 or $5aud.

Rosie O Gradys

Another popular pub & guest house, book through THIS LINK for a good discount.

Happy girls at Rosies

Service with a smile, certainly one of the great attractions of Thailand.

Chris from Wiltshire.

A flashback to January 2013 when 4 English friends including Chris came to Pattaya for the first time, naturally I was their tour guide. 🙂

The mob from England

It was a lot of fun seeing the reaction of these guys on their first trip to Pattaya.

Flashback to Soi 7 in 2004.

It’s hard to believe how time flies, 13 years have flashed by.

I remember it as if it were yesterday.

Drinks in Soi 7 with lovely Evie from Bangkok.

Aussie out of control, he is known as Mr Stingy.

As it so often happens Pattaya brings out the “idiot” in the newbies. 🙂

Flipper House Hotel

Soi LK Metro Pattaya

September 7, 2015 by David Herd

LK Metro

Soi LK Metro Pattaya Party Street

Soi LK Metro Pattaya Party Street is a great alternative to Walking St, not as many tourists gawking at the girls plus lots of bars and restaurants to choose from. The name comes from the Leng-Kee family, one of the wealthiest and most influential families in Pattaya with properties and businesses all over the City.

Billabong in LK Metro

A popular LK Metro bar with low cost hotel rooms above.

Soi LK Metro Pattaya Billabong

My Australian friend Greg Johnstone used to own the Billabong, he sold it in 2014 and has taken up farming.

i-rovers

One of my favourite sports bars, lots of TV screens to watch Australian football. 🙂

Soi LK Metro Pattaya i-Rovers

Very cheap rooms here for around 500 Baht if you book through this link.

State of Origin 2017

Two QLD legends from the past Greg Cornescu and Wally Fullerton Smith dropped by yesterday for few coldies.

Champagne agogo LK Metro icon

Champagne has been in LK for many years, however these days there is a lot more competition.

Sadly our good friend Lenny passed away early 2016 after a short battle with cancer, RIP.

Greg Johnstone at Billabong in 2011.

I couldn’t resist including this great photo, as I said earlier Greg owned Billabong until 2014.

Soi LK Metro Pattaya bars

Some interesting names. 🙂

Kilkenny LK Metro

If I’m not watching sport in LK I like to have a drink at Kilkenny which is opposite Billabong & adjacent to i-rovers. A very good “people watching” spot.

View from Kilkenny

A good bar for watching the passing parade.

Drinks at Kilkenny

Gordon Shanks from New York and Jonathan Whiting from Brisbane.

New hotel rooms for $17 per night

You are going to find this hard to believe but Retox have nice new hotel rooms in Soi Lenkee where you can stay for only $17 per night if you book through this link. $21 if you would like a nice balcony. 🙂

You will find Soi Lengkee if you cross over Soi Buakhao from Soi Diana travelling away from Pattaya Beach.

Party Bar Pattaya Hot Babes

February 1, 2015 by David Herd

Party Bar-hot babes-Pattaya-Thailand-sexy

Great night with sexy babes

Party Bar Pattaya

Party Bar Pattaya had a re-opening Monday January 26 2015, a new partner bought into this little business so it was time to sing, dance and celebrate. So that’s what my friend Hamish & I did, minus the singing & dancing, we concentrated on drinking & checking out the pretty ladies.

Just a little corner bar

Located behind the Avenue shopping centre on 2nd road. Nothing too flash just a little corner bar where you can have a beer and watch the passing parade. In many ways people watching is why I also like the Cherry Bar on the corner of Soi 3 and 2nd road North Pattaya.

Party Bar Pattaya Lovely Noi

Noi has just become part owner of the Party bar, drop in sometime and say hello.

Surrounded by gorgeous creatures

What time can I start having fun?

Pretty ladies

Great smiles certainly brighten up the night.

Lovely cowgirl Kung

On this night all the girls wore cowgirl outfits and looked terrific, sadly now however they have reverted to normal clothes. It’s a shame really because any little back street beer bar needs to make sure customers remember them, so a point of difference that separates you from the thousands of similar places in Pattaya can only have a positive effect on the business. Walking street, LK Metro & Soi 6 have the passing traffic but most of the little back street bars don’t, so my message is loud & clear, dress the girls in the western outfits, they look terrific. 🙂

Check out my post on Seven sexy American restaurants and see how they do it, the yanks are masters of promotion.

Party Bar Pattaya & dinner is served

One thing Thai girls like to do is eat. 🙂

Some great looking babes here.

A very happy looking bunch.

A lesson for the Farangs

Not all Thai ladies are available in Pattaya for foreigners like myself merely because you have a few thousand Baht to burn on a night out. I was quite impressed by this gorgeous lady so I gave her my card and later in the week tried to arrange to meet her for a drink. To her credit she had too much style to be seen with a fat old Farang like me, so she made an excuse that she was sick. Good luck to you Yuie, stick with the younger cooler dudes. 🙂
