Horrendously expensive? 30B isnt horrendous
Added after 5 minutes:
One of the offputting things about this bar is its location. You either need to mince your way through all the boys from the gay bars in the soi or walk through the car park beside Foodland.
But, if you want to meet somewhere first for a cheap drink and then move on somewere else more guest friendly or trendy its not a bad place.
Once you get inside you find a place that is family and couple friendly. The waitresses are just that, no dancing or pickup girls.
The decor can best be described as dark and dingy and in need of a good remodeling job. At times in the afternoons it can be as quiet as a library and just as difficult to get a drink - even for regulars.
The food fare on offer is probably Baht for baht as good value as you can get in this type of bar - 95baht for Fish and Chips - although food conniseurs would probably turn their noses up at the offerings. But their are soem nice things on the menu. Any Pizzas come from the Pizza restaurant on Patpong soi 2 beside Foodland.
The music can be pretty good depending on whether the dj/manager can bothered to actually dj or just put a compilation cd on.
Drinks wise its the standard draft Chang, Singh, Tiger, Heineken choice with only a couple of imported bottled beers like Victoria VB
Upside - Happy Hour is all day til 9pm so perfect for moving onto from The Exchange or for an all day session from lunch time. Chicken Pot Pie, Long Island Ice Teas (75B in happy hour!!) Good place to kick off an evening.
Downside - service at times, atmosphere, location, the advertising
