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. If anyone would like to add a review or information please email Dave at

808 Walking Street Facebook Page Disco
opened on 16th March 2014. It is associated with Lima Lima. Beers 75 Baht and local spirits 90 Baht, but probably opening offer. News June 2015: International exposure The club made the world news after pictures
were posted on social media of a Thai girl giving a customer a blow job. This made the news on Thai TV and resulted in a short police closure.
r News June 2014: Police Closure The disco was closed for a few
days possibly due to police action. It was then signed as a replacement venue for Lucifer's which suffered a substantial police closure to thuggery by the club's bouncers.

Bamboo Entertainment South Pattaya Road
(Near junction with Walking Street ) Long running music bar best known as a freelancer pick-up venue. Re-opened after the coronavirus
lockdown in September 2022. Prices: May 2023 Bottled beer is around 120 Baht.
Comments from Dick Farang, March 2017: Observations At Bamboo Bar on
Pattayatai near Walking Street I noticed the following: All male customers appear to be farangs and I saw a group of people of dark complexion holding hands being denied entry. I guess that the same group
of people will be welcomed with open arms to Tony's Entertainment Complex on Walking Street, now renamed Endorphin. At Bamboo Bar (and also on Beach Road for that reason) I have talked to a number of girls who appeared to come
from Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam, most probably on tourist visas. I wonder which issues (if any) can possibly arise with those perhaps more hardened pro apparently freelancing illegally, apart from theft that is.
Review from Dick
Farang, January 2017: Easy going Bamboo Bar on Pattayatai near Walking Street appears to be a real gold mine. It is always crowded from early on, with most Thai females arriving between 10 p.m. and 11
p.m. Live music, mostly hits from the previous century such as My Way , and a dance floor in front of the singers and orchestra.
A lot of mature birds there (but not all) and many of them heading for the Walking Street discos later at night, often in teams of two or three. Going fees are 1,000 baht ST and 1,500-2,000 baht LT, no barfine.
It is hit or miss if you will find a girl who fits the bill, but the easy-going atmosphere helps with the vetting and I have never met a starfish there. The Pattaya Beer Garden formula however does not seem
to work well, probably because punters cannot as casually roam there. No "check bins" at Bamboo Bar, but immediate payment. I presume they apply dual pricing with Thais paying much less. Some Thai
females (probably the more hardened pros) are drinking alcopops or sharing bottles of Thai spirits, but the majority are sparingly nursing their still water, soda water or coca cola. If you pay with a 1,000-baht note the waiter or
waitress will give you a plastic badge as proof of payment until they bring the change. That being said I have made it a habit of always carrying enough small cash and changing the higher denominations at trusted places such as
restaurants, supermarkets and the post office. Bottled Heineken 140 baht.
Review June 2009: More Tables The bar has changed format a little by putting tables on the dance floor. Said
to be a cheaper licensing regime for bars without a dance floor
Review from pattayasecrets.com February 2009: Price Hike It is
reported on the forums that the bar has come under Russian influence perhaps explaining the hike in beer prices to 140 Baht per bottle. Still crowded though with crammed in seating and aging free lancers. Must be doing something right though.
Especially if they can get away with a toilet fee.
February 2006: The Thai girls really love this place as the band often plays Issan love songs which they really get into. It's certainly not an ear blasting go-go
or disco and would probably be best described as a cabaret venue. I really enjoyed my visits here as I could always have a conversation with the the lady I was with, but I must admit to cringing a few times when the resident Thai band attempted a cover
version of a well known western song - Their rendition of the Beatles "Hey Jude" is just one memory that comes to mind
December 2005: For the older members or for those who like older mature ladies. The
music not bad but not load like it should be for a disco. The ladies are performers in the bedroom!!!!

Review from Pattaya-Addicts , August 2010: Hang Out Candy Shop's place in the nightlife roster is from 1-3am when the beer bar girls
and Soi 6 girls cluster until they move on to Marine and Insomnia. The music is R&B and Hip Hop and the drinks are around the 150 Baht mark. Breezers 180 Baht.
Review from Rick of
pattaya-discover.com , March 2010: Hang Out We stopped at Candy Shop for a drink, and to listen to some live music. Thai girls love to hang
out at this venue. I spotted a few young girls from Soi 6 bars, who had stopped by for an after work drink. This is the place they come to hook up with their friends and drink the Thai girls favourite beer, San Miguel Light. The beers here are Bt
150, and the selection of beers is very limited. Soft drinks Bt 120
Review from Pattaya Pages , July 2006: Hip Hop Shop Hip-hop house
band downstairs, very expensive 140/150 baht beer, freelancers, but not so many as Lucifers or Tony's. I always went in with a girl...nice place to dance or hang out for a few drinks. Not as crowded as Lucifers or as dark as Tony's.

(Beach road end) Beer bar News July 2006: Re-opened after re-fit |
|
Casino Club Walking Street : Soi Diamond until 4am www.casinoclubpattaya.com Coyote Dancing Bar. Seems to do well
out of keeping drinks prices low compared with the late night norm. Bar fine is 100 Baht. Lady drinks 140 baht. Beers are reasonable around the 90 Baht mark News from Ishi, September 2015: Closed and moved to Diamond
Diamond A-GoGo has re-opened at the centre of Soi Diamond. It has long been associated with the more successful late night venue, Casino Club , on the same soi. Casino Club has been closed after a dawn police
raid. It seems that the club may have been harshly treated with a length closure order. So it seems that the 'Casino Club Team' has relocated to Diamond A-GoGo. It is not clear whether Diamond will be a traditional GoGo or else
more like the disco style of Casino Club.
Review by Pattaya Ghost June 2008: Not a Pickup Joint Started more than two years ago, Casino was the first of the coyote bars and still packs in the crowds late
every night. Khun Tee, who also owns Diamond a Go Go just down the soi, designed Casino with two floors, intending to have coyotes downstairs and a disco upstairs. The second floor never took off, however, so now everyone crowds into the smallish ground
floor. It has a high square stage in the middle with room for four dancers, plus the occasional Thai guy on bongo drums. The entire place is well done out, with a cards and casino theme.
The only gambling you’ll do there, however, is trying
to actually get one of the very tidy coyotes to pay attention to you. Casino is definitely not a single-man’s pickup joint. Most dancers rush off stage to towel off after their set and tend to gaggle together in the corners rather than mix with
customers. The first year, in fact, Tee didn’t allow the coyotes to be barfined. If you wanted to see if the object of your desire could perform the same moves in your hotel room you needed to wait until 4 a.m. or so when the bar closed for
her to go with you.
By popular demand, however, barfines were instituted at 1,000 baht, the first Pattaya bar to go that high (and, sadly, not the last). But considering these woman are all under 30 and dance (aerobics style) 30 minutes an hour
for about 8 hours a day, they are definitely fit. You’d be hard pressed to find any who rated under an 8 on most people’s scales.
The music in Casino is classic coyote: techno, house and a smattering of remixed hip-hop, all played at
levels that make conversation difficult. Drinks are reasonably priced at around 110 baht for mixed drinks and 95 baht for bottled beer. Casino is also a late-night bar and doesn’t really get started until after midnight.
News
March 2007: Bar Fine The bar fine in Casino was reported to be 1250 Baht
Review Dec 2006: Popular I was dragged in by a party of girls and it really is not my scene, but I have to
say that the bar is very popular. There's plenty of dancing going on onstage and off, plenty of customers and plenty of coyote girls eager to play hostess whilst waiting for their dancing stint. The music was loud, but people seemed happy
enough and could just about converse enough to get by. Maybe the key to its success is that it is one of the few bars that cater for groups of friends rather that the gogo majority which cater more for singletons. Also the drinks prices are
standard Walking Street prices as opposed to the exorbitant prices charged by some of the other late night dancing venues. Drinks around 95 Baht
Review from Pattaya
Secrets , May 2006: Bloody expensive We decided to check out Casino Club for one, famous last words as we stumbled out of there at 3am. Did have great fun in there, and some sexy girls. Bloody expensive though as I
discovered when I paid my 1000 baht Barfine... Great night, really enjoyed the atmosphere in Casino. Review from Kevin, February 2006: Cool! The Club has been done out very well indeed!, the decor is very, very tidy!, there is a
square raised podium in the middle of the floor where the dancers perform, normally 4 of them, one facing each corner of the club!, one I recognized from Superbaby, another from Paris A-gogo . Sometimes one of the guys gets up and plays a small
set of drums to the music , the girls love it!, and it gets the crowd going . It is not the biggest place , but god I was surprised how nice it was!, the main hostess is a darling, always comes and says hello!, will always buy a round for those
that stay and drink a bit! and really makes you feel welcome!. The girls cannot be barfined, but I was seeing one of them!, only problem I had to wait until 4am until she finished! All in all I found the place a breath of fresh air!, great look,
great sound, and a really nice bunch! I normally live in Heaven above, Living Doll 1 & 2 , Happy or Peppermint, I am a A-gogo lover!, but this was cool!

News from
Pattaya Talk , Feb 2009: Ibiza The vast majority of the crowd who go there now just seem to go there to dance ‘ibiza style’ to monotonous
music and drink expensive drinks rather than for P4P. Most of the guys are not interested in the girls – I went there a few nights and I saw many guys come there just to jump up and down by themselves or with their mates and then go home.
This situation has not been lost on the girls who now tend to hang back from approaching guys and don’t hang around long in there.
News from Pattaya-Live
, Nov 2008: The New Place The new place is large bar down stairs, very chic, DJ's & open from 8pm every night, they have a couple of pool tables & loads of space. Upstairs is the club, open from 11 until 8am, it
looks like it could hold around 700 people, is huge, high ceiling, loads of air con, sounds system & lighting system are top notch, has a raised VIP area with own bar, they clearly spent a few bucks building & decorating the place.
My
first impressions of the place: I think they have done an excellent job of creating a proper super club in Pattaya, they have really raised the bar & I reckon it will be a free lancers's heaven within a very short period of time.

(at junction with Walking Street ) Beer bar Review from Pattaya Chat, March 2006: Great Girls
Don't like the location since it right front of the boxing ring in Siren Complex. Beers are somewhat on the warm side and the bathroom are in the dingy corner of the complex. But girls are great and very energetic. Mamasan is very
friendly and she speaks English well. Matter of fact, most girls speak English well. It's also own by Sunny so if you don't see him at Lennie's, you will sure to see him there drinking beer.

Hot Tuna Bar Walking Street
(opposite FLB) Beer bar News June 2009: No Band The bar re-modelled and has
done away with the band
December 2005: Hot Tuna is one of the largest bars in Walking Street, and has Pool, TV, girls and live music.
Inside, there's a main bar, where girls are happy to play bar games.
Upturned beer kegs serve as drinks tables
To the rear there's a stage where a good live band plays a range of tracks including both new and old material.
There's the inevitable giant TV screen for live football and other sport.
Drinks are not the cheapest in town but it stands out from the rest.
Summer 2005: Bar for watching the walkers of Walking Street. Plenty of pool tables and girls to play with. One has to put up with some pretty loud dance music though as the bar features a pretty expansive sound system.

JP Bar Walking Street : Soi Lucky Star Beer bar. Girls but, also freelance lady boys. Closed and became JP Republic nightclub.
Review by Carl, November 2006: An Absolute
Cracker In my opinion this is the place for late night stalking where an absolute cracker can be picked up. Just sit on a perch and wait for the eyes of a numerous amount of ladies and then just take your pick. Good atmosphere
apart from the toilets which are terrible. Great friendly bar staff and open late.
Summer 2005: A very good late night hangout is the JP Beer bar near walking street. It's usually pretty dead until around 1 or 2 am
just when the go gos and discos start to close. A lot of short time go go girls look for their 2nd customer here OR the ones that didn't get barfined earlier look for their 1st customer. A good way to avoid the bar fin

(south end) Restaurant and bar opened in May 2006 From Pattaya Today: Night March: French Terrace La Notte is bright,
colourful, and warm. The attention to detail -from the light fittings down to the plates, cups, and tablecloths- is readily evident. One of the major attractions is the front terrace where customers can sit outside and watch the street: a perfect
place for a relaxing with a good coffee or over a couple of beers. Food is the main attraction, but I can see this place becoming a popular spot with those who want somewhere to start a night of boozing or who just want to escape the madding crowd and
relax with a partner or a few friends.

Lucifer Disko TK Walking Street Discotheque/freelance bar much raided by Pattaya police Potential customers should note that on one police raid, customers were hurt due to an
emergency exit to the street being locked. In fact the packed interior and narrow entrance corridor suggests that this would be a nightmare in an emergency. Drinks in the 170-200 Baht range News June 2016: Ren0vation
The disco has closed for extensive restoration
News June 2014: Police closure The disco suffered a substantial police closure to thuggery by the club's bouncers. Regulars are being redirected
to 808 Club, a few doors down Walking Street. Re-opened on 11th August
Review May 2012: Popular and Busyx Beers are still 170 Baht for farangs (paid for on delivery). Mostly loud US rap, music wise. Very popular
with freelancers. There's a live band which alternates with DJs. Generally busy after midnight.
News July 2010: Price Watch Beers are now 170 Baht for farangs whilst Thais pay 90 Baht.
Review from
Pattaya Secrets , Sept 2008: Fabulous Band If you are into hip hop and gangsta rap I don’t think there is a better place in Pattaya to listen to it.
The DJ’s pump out a 30 minute set and then flawlessly, the absolutely fabulous band takes over, all vocalists take turns, one better than the other, the line up includes a gorgeous girl who is not on the stage just for her beauty, she gives as good
as the guys with perfect attitude. Lucifer’s have spared no expense on the sound system, the light show is appropriate for what the place is, just to remind you, a sort of underground music focused venue with a customer base of hard core hip hop
music lovers.
There were plenty of freelances on the prowl so you could go on your own and still get laid, but its not like your shooting fish in a barrel, you may have to work a bit, I saw a couple of guys get knock backs. My advice would to
bring a girl with you’re your probably safer that way also.
Review from Pattaya Addicts , Oct 2007: Pretty Expensive Lucifer is the place
to go around 2 am. It is a great place, many girls, great DJ but pretty expensive drinks (shots can be around 220 baht... There is no real dance floor but still everybody is dancing.
Review from
Pattaya Secrets , Dec 2006: Young Crowd I liked the place. It's music policy seems to be almost entirely hiphop which is ok by me. DJ Domination was playing, but I
wasn't that impressed. What did impress me was the standard of the freelancers, a fairly young crowd but mainly good looking with nice attitudes.
December 2005: Heaven I think the best place for music and ladies. the
quality always seems to be there. Anyway when in Pattaya I always seem to go there nearly every night. The music is the same every night as well. So you can go to the loo outside for a break and come back into the disco and know which song is next!!
There also seems a mad rush of women between 12 and 1. Mostly freelancers but heaven!!

Review from Pattaya Addicts , Oct 2007: Real Dance Floor Marine 1 is the place to go around 3am. Most of the girls from the bars try to pull in that place. The only thing about Marine 1 is: It is
ALWAYS the same music.
The drinks are also not the cheapest. The good thing here is that you got a real dance floor.
Review from Pattaya Secrets , Dec 2006: The Daddy The Daddy of them all and
still the best IMHO. It's bigger than the rest, a fairly simple design and lighting setup but used very effectively with an almost warehouse type feeling. It was packed with a whole variety of farangs and thais of all ages who all mostly seemed to
be having a good time. The music is excellent too, fairly hiphop free, a bit cheesy but just the thing to get a crowd dancing. Loads of cute, and some not so cute, Thai girls looking for a farang for the night.

It is a reasonably quiet bar that avoids the dance music fixation of many of the competitors. There is sometimes a
duo of musicians concentrating on more pop than dance music. The restaurant is a bit more up-market.

bar re-opened after the end of the coronavirus lockdown but there were insufficient customers in town. The bar has therefore be closed from 29th September but will re-open once visitors return.
News from
pattayabeergarden June 2008: Progress into June From day one we have had consistently good business. The bar itself can be a little deceptive
because of the size and the four different areas. Fifty people can virtually disappear and it takes over 100 people to make the place look slightly busy. For me this is a great advantage as the relaxing, chill out atmosphere is not spoilt even when we
are busy. The freelancer situation is evolving and getting better all the time. We are always promoting the beer garden to the girls and building up a nice set of regulars. New girls stumble in every day and overall I am satisfied we are on the
right track. It is still a bit hit and miss and will probably remain so for a few more months. You just have to try your luck and maybe wait for a while for new girls to wander in.
I have mentioned busy times before but I think it is a bit self
defeating to do so. Last week I write that I was surprised by the number of girls arriving after 10pm. On Friday night we had about 25 girls sitting at the bar at 7 pm and 5 guys. By 9 pm that had changed to 25 guys and 5 girls. Sometimes the balance is
right and sometimes it is not. I am sure this will continue until we are better known.
I saw a comment on a board last week about the rules of engagement. Basically the poster was saying he was not going to approach the girls and if they did not
approach him nothing was going to happen. That approach will work in just about every bar in Pattaya but it will not work at the Pattaya Beer Garden. You must make first contact. If you can’t or won’t do that then the PBG is probably not for
you. If you approach a girl at the bar I can almost guarantee that you will not be rebuffed. The girls are there to find a man after all. Even fat old balding people like me are seen as desirable meat mates. So don’t be shy just say Hi. The rest
will follow naturally and without pressure. We are in to out June promotions now. The freelancer discount continues. Bring your own freelancer and receive a 100 baht discount off your order. Please ask clearly for "The Freelancer
Discount" when ordering.
Happy hours are 3 pm to 5 pm and then again 9 pm to 11 pm every day. All bottled beers are 50 baht (except Corona). This week we have permanently lowered the price of Corona and Strongbow.
A new thing we are
trying in June is the "Sunset Promotion". The PBG is a great place to watch the sunset each evening around 6:30 pm. It can be quite spectacular. From 5:30 pm to 7 pm each night we are offering the "Sunset Special". A plate of Thai
h'orderves and a Sundowner cocktail for two hundred baht. The Thai snacks are very tasty and farang friendly (will not blow your head off) and the Sundowner cocktail packs a bit of a wallop with three shots of the hard stuff.
News
April 2008: Open The bar is now open for business and the Pattaya regulars have been giving a good reception. There are plenty of promotions during May to give it a good kick start.
News March 2008: Freelancers
People have always wondered why Pattaya doesn't have a venue for freelancers along the lines of Bangkok's Beer Garden on Soi 7. Well bar owner Pattaya Pete (previously of FLB) has bought a venue that he hopes will emulate
the success of the Beer Garden. The venue is hardly a garden though, as it is at the back of the Pier Complex overlooking the sea. It is a large venue and will feature reasonable prices so as to encourage customers and girls to hang around and buy
a few drinks. There will be no bar fines.

Review from Jil in Pattaya , Aug 2007: Neat
It is an exceptionally neat design and layout, up on the second floor, sitting on top of the beer bars that run the entire length of the left side of the alley, with an open-air seating arrangement and plush booths to relax in, in
a complete open-air setting. The exceptionally fancy style of the bar is unfortunately offset by the poorest view of any bar in the city: That being the unadorned and neglected rears of the buildings over on Soi BJ.
News from
Pattaya Addicts Feb 2007: Ice Room Everything about the bar seems to ooze quality, and the ice vodka room is a great way to instantly cool down from the
hot nights that have started again. Also when you take a lady into the ice room with you I doubt very much that they will have experienced cold like this.
One thing I really liked is the hostess outfits, every girl looked very stylish.
News from Pattaya Addicts Feb 2007: An Icy Welcome A new vodka bar has its opening set for the end of February 2007. It will be
located on the first floor running down the length of Soi Happy. The owners promise an ice room to drink vodka shots, great music, sexy ladies and fantastic surroundings

Zab Cafe Walking Street Restaurant with live music from Isaan News August 2015: Dancing Zab Cafe is trying something
new with dancing and poles.
Review from Pattaya Talk , February 2014: Isaan Music The venue has reinvented itself as a Thai Mor Lam music
venue. The drinks prices are now reasonable. the makeover has worked and the venue is now very popular.
News, June 2011: Expensive Drinks A change of direction with the live music now being Issan singing and
dancing. Still expensive drinks with 100 baht for coke and 150 Baht for a fruit juice.
Review from Pattaya Addicts , Sep 2007: Expensive Drinks
Has a good 7 piece band and a Beegees impersonator group. Quite expensive for drinks though, 100 Baht water, 150 juice, cheapest beer 200
Prices from Pattaya Secrets
, Dec 2006: Customers Zapped by the Prices One Malibu & orange juice and one bottle of Singha: 360 baht.
Now although the band is exceptional, the place was dead, maybe 6 customers, I wonder why...

| 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. Previously the notes included guidelines on barfines and asking prices but in
recent times these have become less standardised and at the top end it is now more or a less an unbounded negotiation. 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.
