  1. 1 Stevied

    Quite simply the best bar in town, bar none. From the friendly waiting staff and owner, who’ll get to know you pretty well if you drop in there more than a couple of times, to the generous portions of excellent western food at a keen price, to the big-screen sports on TV.

    If, like me, you find much of the Bangkok bar-scene sleazy and unpleasant, you’ll be releived to know that this isn’t a bar-girl/freelancer hang out. It’s extremely family friendly, has a generous area for the smokers and, last time I was there, Tiger at 99 baht a pint. Is there a better deal anywhere in town?

    I’ve dropped in here a couple of times and as a draught beer drinker am usually more impressed with the quality of their draught beer than most places. They have a good menu, but I think the Thai food is better than the Western Fare.

    Great bar to relax after work or to meet up with friends for a few beers before heading out for the night.

    Food is usually tastey and comes in big portions. Overall a good spot with a friendly manager.

    I heard about this place some time ago .. kinda dismissed it .. but I decided to give it a try tonight because I was close. Just another reservation joint, right? WRONG…

    Surprise to me .. this place has atmosphere and character … attentive and engaging staff … fair prices … full amenities and good food. My only regret is that I went too early and apparently missed an evening BBQ that was just warming up when I was already stuffed.

    My only gripe with this place is that they use fillers/preseasoning in their burgers, like most everywhere in Bangkok. In fact, in the three years I have lived here, I have only found two restaurants that don’t do that. But if only for that, they are not perfect.

    Rating: 4.

    I will be going back!

    Conclusion: HIGHLY recommended

    I have done most of the pubs in BKK but find this place the best. While the decor is not modern, the place has character. I find the food to be a cut above the general pub fare and the prices are very good given the quality and size of the portions. The staff are generally very attentive. A great place for atmosphere during the live sports even though it does get crowded. All good really especially since they extended the place and added more power points for the internet.

    Had the worst English breakfast I’ve ever experienced in 35 years of eating the damn things! Was just before the flight home on a Sunday morning, I gave up after two mouthfuls. Didn’t fancy 14hours on the plane with a semi-cooked breakfast inside of me. Did complain but still had to pay for thing, was with a girlfriend so didn’t want to create a scene. The chef did scuttle out of the kitchen a while later-looking at him he appeared to a far worse hangover than even I had at the time!!(Maybe he was just filling in on a Sunday?).
    Shame because as bar this place is pretty decent (some of the staff can be a touch miserable at times-no Land of the Smiles here). Good place to watch sport, have seen bands in here of an evening that have been excellent. On balance stick to the beer, avoid the breakfast at all costs!

    I really rate this place and go there all the time. Very handy location for those of you living in the Sukhumvit district located on Soi 8. It’s a New Zealand/Australian pub/bar, frequented by expats and farang travellers and features plenty of widescreen plasmas screening the rugby, cricket and sports etc. Food is generally good, tasty and affordable. Staff are cool and friendly. Free WIFI available too. The owner/s are very friendly, and have recently extended out the rear of the pub tastefully - reminds me of the pubs I frequent back home in Aus. It’s a popular pub which can get really busy in the evening making it hard to get a good seat, so get in there early.

    For me, one of the best pubs in Bangkok. Attentive, friendly staff, excellent (and inexpensive) food, draft Tiger and Chang at 99 baht a pint, Wi-Fi, pool and flat-screen sports TV +CNN everywhere.

    Great location next to BTS. Good place to start your evening.

    If I’m in the mood for a full English breakfast in the lower Sukhumvit area, this place is at the top of the list.

    Nice location close to the Nana BTS station makes it a decent place to meet up with friends.

    Soi 8 has a terribly name in my view but is a very successful bar. The landlord is always improving the place the food is good for the price. It has a nice atmosphere and all the sport is available. All good really

    Not a huge pub goer but soi 8 has a nice breakfast. Tons of food and decent value. Also have a nice area to sit outside and chill. Free wi-fi as well so one can hang and use the computer but there is a dearth of electrical outlets. So makes plugging in a pain.

    All in all a decent place on soi and one that seems to be doing a good business.

Larry's has the best ribs in town and every Friday it is all you can eat. Every Friday they have all you can eat rib night for only 399 baht! I highly recommend it. The food and drinks are excellent.

We went there the other day and rated it 3 out of 5 on our foodie blog. Like several others here have said, the drinks were fine but the food left a lot to be desired. We described the breakfast as being "meagre". The fish and chips were OK, but they took an age to come and the place wasn't even busy. I'd go back again for a drink, but definitely wouldn't bother with the food again.

What was I doing here on a Monday ? Dance floor is closed on Monday. Took a date there who wanted to dance and found out too late no dancing on Mondays. Instead when upstairs to some 'chill-out' area. Couches and some DJ playing new-age jazz or some such shit. Had one beer and left. Altho very nice, not my scene.

I know I know..I said I wouldn't stay here again, but I needed a place for 1 night I it was easy and I didn't need a pool this trip. Same as before, I still like the near-ness to Cowboy. One good thing ...this time the internet connection was very very fast.

2 of us went here for a late-lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. Not many people there so the service was great. We split a Ceasar Salad and a Pepperoni Pizza. Both were fine. One thing I found interesting was the side of what looked like 'salsa' altho it wasn't spicy. I used it as a supplement to the 'no-tomato' salad and it was good. 1 salad, 1 pizza, 2 beers ran us 895.

I took the girlfriend there mainly to have a look. It was a weeknight and maybe a bit early. Not crowded at all. Very nice place. The service was a bit slow for my taste and the prices were way over the top. I had 2 beers while my date had some kinda cocktail. We had a plate of some mixed seafood type thing. I actually got a little bored as it was so quiet there. The bill was over 1000. I probably wouldn't go back unless invited.

I am a big fan of authentic Mexican and was pleasantly surprised with how authentic the food here is. I have not been to another place like this in Bangkok. It's not tex-mex or cali-mex or sw-mex, this is mexico city-mex. Great stuff. The fajitas I would not recommend if you like the TGIF Fridays version, which imo is better, but other than that, everything was great. The guacamole and chips/salsa were the best I've tasted in Bangkok. This is a small and cozy little restaurant and will now be a regular eating establishment in the future. Great job.

...and now for the review after seeing it in 3D at the IMAX, five stars. You cannot appreciate the brilliance of this movie when you watch the 2D version. Seeing it at the IMAX was an amazing experience.
