Now how would I know that unless you told me.

Not that I actually live in BKK or go out drinking there or even frequent British style pubs.

I know what ones have been updated now.

Keep up the good work.

Tried the (something)frog in Suk soi 7 for lunch, ordered roast lamb, but alas it was reheated from Frozen roast lamb. Pretty ordinary fare really, edible but only because I paid 350 Baht for it. I don't know why they bother really. Its not hard to do a decent roast with roast tatties etc but this was pretty awful, tuff as hell. no roast veg's and insipid washy sort of gravy. back to jools, or Dubliner for my roasts in future.

Thats it, Winking frog, should have remembered that 'cause it rhymes with Winking Dog and there are a lot of those in that Soi 7.

An interesting one this; again there’s enough wood to build a forest, but I quite like it. They serve the obligatory Guinness (I do believe it was only 100฿ during happy hour) and Kilkenny and they've got a pretty good menu that manages to steer clear of the usual stodge served in many pubs. The atmosphere is pretty good and the lights are dim, so your 'new friend' will stay attractive for a few hours longer. The service is good too, with attentive and attractive waitresses (I'd like to give the bar manager one, too).

Guinness & Kilkenny.

Good menu & atmosphere.

Nothing really.
Having got round to finally reading this thread, I thought I'd check out the pub with "nothing really" wrong with it, as it seemed to be the best of the bunch.

BTW, this place now has a completely different name above the door, its not the name shown on the photo above.

My impressions.

GOOD
  • The music, a mixture of stuff like REM and Sting, nice listening.
NOT GOOD
  • The seating is just (bright red) stools and 90 degree upright "pews", ie nothing comfortable whatsoever. Needs sofas or at least armchairs.
  • The "atmosphere" consisted of 4 blokes all sitting alone doing nothing, and the owners apparent extended family (more on that later)
  • I was given a pint of Chang which was actually half a litre, and 68 ml of foam on top. When I asked for a full pint, I was sneered at by the bargirl. Just stupidity, or an attempt to save a couple of Baht? (and lose first time customers in the process)
  • I didn't see any of the staff smile or attempt to socialise with any customers during my 45 minutes there
  • The 4 customers plus the owner were all chainsmokers, and the place has crap ventilation. Seeing wasn't easy at times. God knows what it would be like if the place were busy
  • Sitting upstairs wasn't an option. The lights were off and no-one was home
  • The owner is a beer bellied grey haired chain smoking and beer drinking Brit who took no interest in any of the customers, and was completely focused only on drinking, smoking, and playing pool with who appeared to be 3-4 of his Thai wife's brothers. He seems to be a weird Thaiophile who prefers the company of Thais to Brits and yet runs a Brit pub stuffed full of Brit memorabilia.
In short, this place would go out of business in a month if it were in the UK, where good pubs are a plenty and where he couldn't rely on trade by sad lonely Brits lost in Bangkok craving a British atmosphere.

I won't be returning there in a hurry, and Cheap Charlies along the road had far more atmosphere. Its just a shame that sitting in a hot Bangkok soi pretending its a pub is such a sad fcuk thing to do....

Actually smeg i can see how it might not be to your tastes but your report completely misrepresents the place,

i'll state first and foremost that ONE of the owners is a personal friend of mine so i may be view askew so to speak

the seating you're right.its a bit loud isn't it. as for sofa's etc well its not a lounge or gentlemans club nor some pretty metrosexual gay pick up place

as for the beer, why buy chang it tastes like piss, the guiness and particularly the kilkenny are good here and reasonably priced by bkk standards 160/170 respectively

staff are usually very friendly, i'm not calling you a liar but i've been here quite a lot recently and they leave you alone to enjoy the company of the people you go with, usually attentive and accurate

the customers, at the weekends a bit too many of the soi 4 wideos but since i meet my friends there and generally go in a group and not as billy no mates it doesent bother me in the slightest

sitting upstairs, why bother, if you want to sit alone in your room stay at home

one of the owners is a beer bellied older gentleman, there are a few of them about you know, the extended thai family you mention happen to be the staff and the local c
