Why go, and how to do it well

The band is the reason to come. They play mostly upbeat Thai songs with the odd western number thrown in, loud and tight enough that regulars rate them among the better acts working the Pattaya circuit. Beer and shot deals are fair by Soi Buakhao standards, the staff work hard, and the room fills most nights. It's also small. Seats are scarce, the space is cramped, and the air con runs colder than you'd expect for Thailand.

Be clear on what this place is before you go. It's an openly known freelance bar, so solo men will be approached. That suits some travelers fine and puts others off entirely, and there's no point pretending otherwise. If you want a quiet drink with live music, there are calmer spots along the same strip.

Reviews from Google

The music 🎶 bands is excellent the play half thai and western music , good deals on the bottles of beer and shots 🍺 and good crowd always fill up and friendly place , staff are superb

A well-known spot on Soi Buakhao where they mainly sing live Thai songs. Freelance women wait for men at this location. The prices for a beer are okay/reasonable. The only negative point is that it's always very crowded, quite cramped, and the air conditioning is simply too cold for Thailand.

This is a fun time with live music however one the servers stole 1000 baht when I paid for 2 drinks. When confront they denied I paid and I requested they check the cameras, obviously they refused. Be very careful of paying with large notes here.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Know the Closing Times

Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.

Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously

Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.

Arrange Your Ride Home

Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
