Pattaya Bars

With over a thousand Pattaya bars to choose from, you'll want to consult this guide before dropping some baht on a beer. Maybe you want to wander through Beach Road or Walking Road, where there are plenty of Pattaya bars to choose from. Or maybe you'd prefer to head to the southern part of the city, which has a reputation for lively nightlife and GoGo bars. Maybe you're in the mood for live music or outdoor seating, or maybe you don't even want to leave your hotel. Regardless of what you're looking for, one of the Pattaya bars will give you a reason to stay out into the night.

Bars With Live Music

For Pattaya bars with live music, think about grabbing a drink at one of the Rolling Stone bars. There are seven Rolling Stone bars; most are located on Walking Street, with a couple in Soi 7 and Soi 8. If you're aching for the rhythm and blues, head to The Blues Factory, which prides itself on being a great environment for families and single adults alike. The Candy Shop, located on Walking Street, features live music by American artists in a nightclub setting.

Outdoor Bars

If you're spending a great deal of your vacation on the beach or sightseeing, chances are you might not want to be cooped up inside. So why go into a stifling inside venue when you don't have to? Many Pattaya bars are in outdoor settings, including the Pattaya Beer Garden. The Pattaya Beer Garden boasts a balcony with a view of the water. The Pattaya Beer Garden also lacks the "bar girls" that are ubiquitous at other Pattaya bars, which may appeal to many vacationers.

Hotel Bars

Some Pattaya bars don't even require you to leave your hotel, which can be great if you just want one drink or if you're tired from your day sightseeing and just want to relax. Just take Shore, the bar at the Hilton Pattaya that's on the sixteenth floor and just an elevator ride away from your potential room. We should also mention that there's a bar in the pool at the Hilton Pattaya, so you can cool off as you drink up. The Royal Cliff Hotels Group contains several bars, including a bar at the Royal Cliff Grand Hotel & Spa with a pianist.

One last thing: Pattya GoGo bars, which have GoGo dancers to entertain you while you drink, are a big part of the more erotic and risqué Pattaya bar scene. If that sounds like your scene, learn more about the GoGo bar scene.
