The busy bars scene is Pattaya is a colourful melting pot of tastes and styles, and with more than six hundred known establishments to choose from, you’re sure to find something to suit your mood. The open air, hostess filled ‘bar-beers’ make up the majority of drinking spots, and plenty of go-go bars have made a name for themselves also. Whatever your tastes and morals there is something for everyone here. There is also a thriving gay and lesbian scene boasting a large concentration of bars and clubs in Pattaya.
In most Pattaya bars girls just wanna have fun!
Pattaya bars are an ideal place to let your hair down and drink the night away. The main bar areas are all easily linked by songthaew routes, but most of the time your destination will be near enough to walk to. The neon illuminated Walking Street is as good a place as any to start the night off, with a host of bars offering reasonable happy hour prices throughout the day and until mid-evening.
For more bars in Pattaya the nearby Pattayaland ‘ups the ante’ somewhat with a choice of go-go bars (both straight and gay) filled usually with scantily-clad females dancing in lacklustre fashion to a pounding bass line that tends to be a conversation spoiler. Along the Beach Road there are lots of outdoor ‘bar-beers’ which offer cheap beer, similar chat, and not a great deal else, There are also wine bars, a German brew house playing nightly live music, and a selection of bars doubling up as restaurants.
At the north end of the Beach Road, sois 6, 7 and 8 are very popular ex-pat hangouts. More bar-girl laden open-air venues get boisterous in a friendly way as the night progresses, situated in the vicinity of some of the town’s best English and Irish Pubs. Pattaya 2 Road serves up more of the same as does the Jomtiem area a little up the coast.

While government restrictions have made an impact on the former 24-hour drinking scene in Pattaya bars, the effect hasn’t be quite as severe from the new 1am closing time. A lot of bars in Pattaya either pay the police, or simply do what they please, so you can be guaranteed a late night drink somewhere. Nightclubs tend to stay open a bit later and there’s usually something going on which completely disregards the law and stays open all night.
Many of the bars in Pattaya are run by ex-pats, and offer a wide range of themes, bar food and facilities, including pool tables, sports TVs, music videos and live music.
Whether you fancy a bottle of champagne on the cliff overlooking the sea at Jomtiem, or a bottle of Chang beer in a go-go bar overlooking a pole-dancing routine in Pattayaland, there will always be someone on hand to fill your glass or replace your empty bottle.
