Original Cocktails
Perched right on Pattaya's Beach Road, this cocktail bar draws regulars and first-timers alike with its enviable position and wide-ranging drinks menu. The setting makes it a natural stop during or after a day on the beach, and the extensive cocktail selection gives visitors plenty of reason to skip the standard beer and explore something more creative. Friendly, attentive staff are frequently highlighted by guests as a genuine strength of the place.
The atmosphere leans casual and social, fitting well with the laid-back energy of Beach Road. Music tends toward 80s and 90s classics, which suits the crowd, though a small number of visitors have noted the volume can run high at times. The bar has built a loyal following among those who return to Pattaya regularly, with some describing it as their go-to spot whenever they hit the strip.

Reviews from Google
best place on Beach road you don't need a Thai massage go here for a drink and have a chat with the staff and like many when they come to Beach road this is the regular place and given the prices for products maybe the cheaper what more could you want win win after this visit you are much more relaxed than the massage
Music was fine. 80s and90s stuff. Great location and view. Huge choices of cocktails. Why have a beer when u can have a cocktail 🍸
Horrible service. Ordered a drink, they let me sit down and 10 minutes later told me that the table got reserved and I have to move.. The drink not finished I got asked to move.. of course paid 100% There are hundreds of other places, u better get there

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
Carry Your Passport or a Copy
Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.
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.
Nearby Places
Beer Hubb (Pattaya Beach Road)
Open from 9am to 3.30am every single day, which on Beach Road counts for a lot.
