Hilaries is still around but new and not improved. The string of Bars under the express way have been gone for a while and the Saxophone Bar Victory Monument. O well the beat goes on. Cheap Charlies moved to On Nut a few years ago, similar set up, but not the same. Good call though, classic bar.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Saxophone Bar at Victory Monument is still around. The closure they announced last Friday is only temporary due to covid according to their website.

Then it changed its name a couple of times to Shenanigans then Molly Malone's. The Bull's Head is kind of still there but now as the Royal Oak and just not the same. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Hope 2021 8 Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 I have been a lurker for a long while but could not resist this topic!! Someone mentioned Chequers on Soi 4. That is open but very quiet. I always preferred Jools which has now moved to the Samsen Rd - same owner and still good English food the last time I went. On the music front, Brown Sugar still operates but I am not sure as to whether it is still at the same location. In Patpong, Cleos is still operating and owned by the guy who owned Cosmos. The latter is currently closed but may open again when better times come back - or maybe not!! Finally, from the old Washington Square, Bourbon Street moved to Ekkamai, Wild Country became B52s and is now in a soi close to the Marriott Marquis on Soi 22 and the Sportsman moved to Soi 13. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post Disparate Dan 113 Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 how about Wongs, on Ngam Dupli? Was still there and very unchanged a couple of months ago when I passed it. Very "old Bangkok". Or Jack's Bar on the river near the ShangriLa - never changes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Drydenite 2 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Can anyone remember Lucy's Tiger Den on Silom? It moved over to Suriwong some time in the 80s. Closed now but not forgotten. I still have a T-shirt. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

dddave 3,700 Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 "Sexy Nights" & "DC-10" still side-by-side at Nana Plaza though DC-10 did have a hideous renovation 7 or 8 years ago and went semi-LB. Not sure if AngelWitch survived covid closures. "Lucky Luke's" still in the same spot as is "Big Dogs" & "Morning Night" . "Stickman" had a great write-up in his latest issue about various NP bar owners over the years as well as a link to an article about the notorious "Greg". Still good reading after all these years. Don't think I'm allowed to post a link but easy to find. Link to post Share on other sites
