Udon's most expensive bar

RALPHCUSENS - In lay terms is the price of beer, service, decor and music to your liking and meet your PERSONAL NEEDS as a drinking establishment? If not go an buy somewhere where it does meet your PERSONAL NEEDS. As every bar is not perfect for everybody.

ROY - Wherever YOU feel you get value, which may be different from other punters. If you want a cheap beer price go to the cheapest bar for bottled beer and disregard the surrounding environment and service etc. You may be dissapointed though.

SAINT - Enjoy the beer

Beer Monkey - I do not own a bar, my nickname is grasshopper, I know somebody who does though

Pompui - AKA Sherlock Holmes

The bottom line is if you like the bar and think the price gives you value then drink there, if you don't you have four choices:

1) drink at another bar
2) drink at home
3) build a bar that suits you and hope other customers like it
4) become a chronic winger

With so many choices everybody can be a winner

Regards.

Where do you all drink?

Night market

I like the Ceiling Bar in Soi Cowboy

Unfortunatly, Udon is yet to have a branch.

Hey Grasshopper.... Where do you drink in Udon?

Thanks for asking Gozzo,

I go to a few bars, usually to visit friends: 'The Place 2 Be' (before Soi Farang was knocked down); Bla Bar on Sio Samphan; 'The Grasshopper Bar' in Nutty Park; occasionally 'Brian's Bar (now moved and changed name to Tee Jay's, also in Nutty Park) and sometimes 'UP 2 YOU' or 'Tong's' (we all know where they are),:D

It really depends how I feel and what I am looking for, usually a hassle free environment as you can see from my first choices.

I have more than enough quality choices in BKK for something a little more outrageous, being here Monday to Friday every week.

Regards

So a small Tiger that retails in most supermarkets for about 26bht, shouldn't cost more than 40bht. Plenty of room to cover overheads there. Having established that, the next important factor. No prostitutes touting for business, buy me a drink etc. Good , efficient polite service with a smile. Clean environment, toilets etc. A good choice of reasonable priced snacks.A friendly environment with customers of all nationalities. I hate these ethnic bars, such as English bars, God I came all this way to get away from that.Big screen football in season.Somewhere the kids can play without my constant supervision, where the wife can pop off and do a bit of shopping if she gets bored with me chatting to my mates. All this and its a bonus if I get change from 500bht at the end of the night.Why I think I have just described the night market

I think you forgot to mention the mossies, the stench, and the constant hussle and bussle of people (and kids) pushing past your table.

I don't where you've sat, but with exception to the mossies I've never had a problem the stench or hussle & bussle.

exception to the mossies

i try to sit next to people that are more appetizing than myself, so mozzies usually not a problem. for outdoor dining and sipping your favorite beverage, sorry, can't think or recommend a better place, well, except my house.

good service, good company, good 'views'. what more can you ask for. the only other place i sip beverages, is irish clock. two consistently enjoyable venues.

enjoy

Mossies???? what are thoses???? I have never smelled an stench there, where are you sitting so I don't sit there. As far as the hustle and bustle, never had a problem with that, just sit, sip on Tigers, take in the beer girls(or any other pretties walking around), and relax with some chats with friends.

Pop's

Stattointhailand,

What night market do you think Truebrit was referring to?, Bombay? your comments certainly don't refer to Udon Thani Night Market!

Statto, you have to find a different place to sit, mate. Sat behind the hongnam does bring a malodoriferous (is that a word? I dunno, just made it up) stench to your table and the beer gals will refuse to serve you there. Men mahk!
