Trench Town Rasta Bar - Soi LK Metro
If the club sound systems on LK Metro have worn you down, this is where you go. It's a reggae bar in the middle of one of Pattaya's loudest nightlife strips, and it holds its line: Jamaican-leaning decor, ska and roots on the speakers, live music most nights with a band that'll take a request if you ask nicely. The crowd is a mix of tourists working their way down the soi and regulars who've settled in for the evening, and the staff get a lot of the credit for that. People come back for them.
Drinks sit at normal Pattaya bar money, around 95 baht for a beer. Doors open at 6.30pm but the room doesn't really wake up until the music does, so I'd turn up later rather than earlier. There's a second Trench Town in town, and opinions differ on which is better, so it's worth trying both if reggae is your thing.

Reviews from Google
Loved this bar! Great atmosphere, great music, great drinks and great service! This is a nice little bar primarily a Reggae bar but the live entertainment will consider song requests. There are two in Pattaya, we preferred this one on Soi Buakhao. All the staff were great but especially the girls in the photos ❤️. If you like Reggae and Ska music try it out, if you don't.....try it anyway 🍻👍
My favorite bar in town so far, everyone here is great ..
Went there tonight, enjoyed the music. Paid for my beer, only had 1 so 95baht! Not a lot, waited for my change. Had to argue for 15 minutes to get it! Before everybody shits on me! 5 baht is nothing, but the principle is everything! 5 baht per person, for a hundred, mounts up! I left the 5 Baht, w Would have been better if it was voluntary at first.

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.
