What is a Go-Go bar?

Tuesday, February 21st, 2012

I guess if you read this blog you know what a Go-Go bar is, but why do we call them Go-Go bars or A Gogo Bars? Where does this name come from? I bet you don’t know. On their February monthly column, Bangkok Eyes have a selection of some of their best stories published during [...]

Cockatoo Ladyboy Go-Go Bar, Soi Cowboy, Bangkok

Monday, February 6th, 2012

Unlike Patpong or Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy was the only Go-Go bar area without any Ladyboys bar. One could find the odd Ladyboy here and there, especially in the small bars, but nothing like Obsession, Cascade (Nana Plaza) or Queen Castle 3 (Patpong). These days are over. A few days ago opened Cockatoo Go-Go bar, [...]

Pedros Music Bar, Sukhumvit Road, Asok, Bangkok

Saturday, January 28th, 2012

Pedros Music Bar is a beer bar located on Sukhumvit road, near Asok, halfway between the Interchange 21 Tower and the Shell Gas Station. It looks like a very small bar because the entrance is quite narrow, but it is deep and actually not that small. They have seats outside for smokers and inside for [...]

The New Raw Hide Go-Go Bar, Soi Cowboy, Bangkok

Wednesday, January 4th, 2012

Raw Hide is not a new Go-Go bar, it has been here for a while, but it has a new ownership and you can tell from the outside: they now have the big neon signs like the other bars of the same owner (Rio, Spice Girls, Kiss, Deja Vu, etc.). But I heard that the [...]

Strap’s Go-Go Bar, Nana Plaza, Bangkok

Friday, October 14th, 2011

There is a new Go-Go bar in Nana Plaza on the first floor, at the top of the stairs, on the left hand side, where it used to be a beer bar known as Cathouse, that closed like a year ago and was replaced briefly by another bar that never really started to make serious [...]

Shark Attack on Soi Cowboy, Bangkok

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

How was Soi Cowboy without Shark Go-Go bar? I don’t know. Most of you probably don’t know either as Shark bar has been around for 9 years now. And tonight they are celebrating their 9th Anniversary. Free food and Gold Party (lottery/cocktail), whatever that means. Expect a lot of girls, a lot of balloons and [...]

No new Go-Go bar on Soi Cowboy

Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

Bad news! There is no new Go-Go bar on Soi Cowboy. Contrary to what I thought previously, this is only an extension of the Deja Vu Go-Go bar. The Apache bar has been replaced by a new space and a second entry to Deja Vu. This is bad news, especially because IMO the Deja Vu [...]

Low low low season!

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

Is it the new election? The very rainy ‘rainy season‘? The long weekend? The global downturn? The earthquake in Japan? The Summer Holidays in Europe and the US? Or just me? But it seems that the low season is very low this year in Bangkok. Few people in the nightlife places, the bars, the clubs, [...]
