  1. 1 Lemon Drop Kid

    Would love to rate this place higher as really liked the friendly staff, excellent food and the set-up here, but on both my visits here (admittedly late afternoon) it was too quiet to give the place some atmosphere. Also they seem to allow smoking inside, which just feels like a backward step to me.

    What can I say about this pub that hasn’t been said already, apart from it’s all true. I worked in Bangkok last year and visited it virtually every day, and had Christmas dinner there as well. Great staff, service is great and a real home from home. The bands they have are very good and don’t drown out your conversation, if you haven’t been yet, make sure you do sooner rather than later.

    Was in Silom last night, and decided to duck in and grab some food, as it’d been over a year since my last visit

    I had ChickenTikka Masala w/ chips and it was awesome. I washed it down with 3 pints of Tiger, and 2 bottles of SanMiguel, which all in, saw me for about 700baht

    Im not a fan of live bands in pubs at all, but the guys onstage were good, and weren’t deafening, which is common in BKK

    Can’t fault this place. Spacious open feeling to the whole bar which subconciously makes you feel at ease. There are plenty of places in Bangkok where you can ‘Go Frantic’ if you want to. But when you tire of that and want to chill out, have a good beer, enjoy some conversation and some great food, then there is no better place than the Duke. Recharge your batteries - you know you want to.

    Im not a fan of “English Pubs’ in any other country apart from England, (even in england i dont really like them) as theres something about them that doesnt seem right, but for one reason or another I went into the Duke for a few drinks to meet someone.

    Gotta say i loved the place. Quality decor thats not trying ‘too hard’ to be english style, good cheap pints with a proper head on it and a cool vibe. Laid back atmosphere aswell which is cool, and the guy behind the bar knew his football which was a good touch.

    Havent eaten there but have heard nothing but good reports so will duck in for a feed soon
    Check it out

    An English pub called the “Duke of Wellington” in Bangkok? Can this really work? Well yes, the guys who have created this pub have done an amazing job. Feels English, feels Thai, feels like it can be however you like it. English food, Thai food, TV showing sports, happy hours. A great place to go with friends or just to go on your own, sit & watch the world go by. Finish work, take your laptop, catch up on your mails, read a paper, & have a well deserved drink. A great mix of people from tourists to expats, to Bangkok locals.

    Located on a very busy section of Silom Road is one of the best-run pubs in Bangkok: The Duke of Wellington. An English Pub, the Duke is managed by a real Englishman — Mark — who previously ran Robin Hood near Phrom Phong BTS station on Sukhumvit Road.

    The Duke has a very nice decor, with comfortable heavy wooden tables & chairs, as well as leather-padded benches along the wall opposite the bar. For people who are alone, or in a casual mood, there is a long table with stools. It is usually occupied by men or women reading the newspaper or working on laptop computers (the Duke offers free wireless access).

    This stretch of Silom Road is a business area, and the Duke is a businessman’s pub.

    Happy Hour runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. every weeknight & all day on the weekends, and on Wednesdays you can drink pints of Tiger beer all night at a price of 80 baht each (Monday is Heineken night and Tuesday Guiness night).

    With a well-trained service staff, an excellent food menu offering large portions of Western & Thai food day and night, attractive drink prices and very comfortable surroundings, the Duke of Wellington has been one of my favorite meeting points since it opened in January this 2007.

    I went in with a new friend a few month ago. He had visited the pub before, but only around four in the afternoon when it is quiet. Arriving at 7:30 pm, with happy hour in full swing, my friend was impressed with everything he saw and tasted.

    The Duke had recently added live music to the mix. A Thai man with a guitar and a good sound system started playing tunes around 8 p.m. Unlike many Thais singing English songs, he knew all of the words and sang clearly. I was sitting with my back to him, and at one point he sang a Jim Croce tune. It sounded so much like Croce that I thought that he’d gone on break and that a CD was playing. I was wrong. Anyone who mourns Croce need mourn no longer — he’s been reborn in Thailand as a local guitar-picker.

    All the food on the menu is good, but my personal favorite is the Big Duke Burger; a large beef patty served with cheese, bacon, a fried egg and all the trimmings. You can choose between English-style thick-cut chips or American shoe-string fries.

    For a comfortable happy hour dinner with friends, or a relaxed business lunch I figure you can’t go past the Duke of Wellington.

Simply incredible! Great food and decent value for money too. The manager bought a dish with chicken on the bone when we had ordered off the bone. When we said we didn't want it he offered us another dish a didn't charge us for the first one - which was still left on the table for us to pick at! The portion sizes were very generous and flavour was first class. The indo-chinese chilli chicken was sensational as was the butter chicken - 2 dishes could have fed 4 people really. Naan and rice also enough to hsare with 3-4 people. whole meal for 2 around 700 baht which considering the quantity and quality was great. highly recommended!!

We are honeymoon couple, we found this place not too far from our hotel.As we seated in the outside table overlooking the beautiful romantic garden, and they proceed, this has got to have the worst service I have ever experienced. We love trying new Thai food places and I always try to find the good in every place but I could not find the good here except for maybe a nice location. The service was unbelievably bad/rude. By bad I mean slow to serve our order, rude staff and dirty tables. Then once you survive the service, you have to survive the food! It was awful. Everything must be bad because we waited too long for the food. I can guarantee you that customer service is a low priority. With many choices for Fine Dinning in Bangkok, this is not a place you need to go.

I had one of the best dining experiences of my life at this plush, almost over-the-top restaurant at the top of the Landmark Hotel. The quality of the steaks, the diversity of the menu, the unrelentingly devotion to service, the knowledgeable barmen, and...finally, most importantly the quality of the food. Do not come here for avant-garde gourmet experiments that seem in vogue everywhere now. DO come here for the old fashioned devotion to good beef in most of its forms and the usual accompaniments done perfectly. This is truly a version of the top steakhouses I used to visit in the 60s in places like Kansas City, Chicago, New York, and Dallas, where customers were treated like royalty, beef was an artform, and where the start almost always included a perfect martini or a manhattan. Top menu features include angus grass fed prime beef, wagyu beef, the freshest oysters I have ever tasted, and foix gras so rich and delicious that you forget how sinful it is. The RR&B have the most gracious serving staff in Bangkok. You will be charmed by the spectacular view as well. Top dollar here but not so excessive as to exceed your sense of worth. You will leave well satisfied on all counts.

Attentive staff, convenient location close to nightlife and MRT/BTS make this a good choice for me. The Internet connection this time around (unlike the last time) has been just fine. Breakfast is a bit lackluster, but serviceable. I do get the impression that the interior is showing a bit of wear and tear, but not an "ewww" factor. I don't need the pool as I don't want to be mistaken for a misplaced Seaworld attraction so no comments there. All-in-all, I would definitely stay there again. Call it 3-1/2 stars.

A group of seven of us decided to try the Sunday Brunch. BHT 1000 got us five hours of unlimited food and drinks - including, beer, wine, spirits and cocktails. Food included steak, pizza, vegetables, sausages, chicken, kebabs, salad - even bacon and eggs. The staff were great - and the food and drinks were excellent.

This is a traditional Pub right in the heart of the busy soi cowboy area. If you really appreciate getting out of the hustle and bustle and enjoy some great food and at good price. This is the place. Very quiet. Can make some expat friends in here. Great English breakfast.

I have been here on two occasions and my family and I have not been that impressed with the Pizza or the pasta dishes. I would say they are average, the wine selection is nice and the salads are good, but the hot food is more production quality than tastefully done. Luigi's around the corner is outstanding.

After reading the reviews on this website I was really looking forward to experiencing this restaurant. Went with a friend of mine from out of town. In short, we really liked this place. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. We crossed over Sukhumvit and headed over to Soi 3/1. My friend had never been down this Soi. As Soi's go this is a nice Soi and worth a stroll just to see. It has stamped concrete to walk and is kept fairly clean compared to other Sois. After a couple of invites from other restaurants to join them we made it to Shahrazad. While many other restaurants had plenty of seating from what we could see, Shahrazad was full. I took this as a good sign. There were two of us and the only table left was one of the big 5-6 person tables in the back corner. The owner sat us down at this table. For me this elevated the place immediately. I don't know how many times I've been to other restaurants in BKK where a similar situation we would have been asked to wait for a smaller table so they could save the bigger table, presumably for a bigger party. Our meal was pretty basic. We ordered a hummus/salad/babaganush sampler, mixed grill (chicken/lamb), lamb chops, and 3 garlic Nan. It was all good. Hummus and other items on the sampler were awesome, the chicken was very tasty and moist. The lamb chops were very flavorful. And the garlic Nan is the way to go. There was enough food as 1 piece of Nan was left along with a small schemer of the hummus. The total bill for the food and the water we drank was 610 baht. In my opinion well worth the price. I will be coming back here soon.

Not the cheapest italian in town, but tasty food! We went there about 4 in the morning and took the spaghetti with the crab, lovely stuff. The shared tiramisu was so delicious that we took an other one later. The service was very friendly. I'll go there again, after a diconight.
