The Shamrock has been my favorite beer bar in Pattaya since the mid-90's. Always some great characters in there and Terry, the owner, who has been there since about '82, and has forgotten more about Pattaya than most of these current YT'ers know, is just the nicest guy you could hope to meet.

 

Yep, had a few chats with Terry at the Shamrock over the years.

He was friendly to a fellow Irishman, although I think he may have preferred if I drinking there in the early evening as a preclude to one of the girlie bars, rather than I was waiting for the boy bars to open round the corner in Boyztown, lol

Anyway, was saddened to read on Stickman last Sunday that he had passed away.

RIP Terry.

If you look at the bottom right of the video they don't come up...if so I would have thought that

Might be worth visiting if that's the case ... 555 😜

Terry seemed to have had a good life.  Did engineering at Leeds which led to work in Asia, played banjo and occasionally got away for fly fishing in New Zeeland.  I can't remember the year, but first time at the bar was when it was located down the little soi at the corner at  Boyztown.  He then bought the building at the current location and moved the bar.

I was a regular at the bar in the early naughts, but gradually the afternoon clientele developed into a too many aggressive, obnoxious drunks and I rarely went after that especially since I moved away from the beach.

The most gracious barman I've ever known. His passing and the probable end of the Shamrock (though I am holding out hope that it isn't) will leave a huge void for all of those who stopped by for a few cold ones and immersed themselves in the chat with the boys. Especially with the Sunday afternoon sessions, which could be legendary. So many fun afternoons spent there, and prior to Covid, too many fun nights to count over the years.

Terry will be greatly missed by all who knew him and were his loyal customers. 

A wonderful guy he was.

These two were the biggest failures on the Soi.

Far too bright, and an assault on the eyes, never any customers and just the wrong formula. The number of times I just kept walking on as there was nothing or no one which particularly encouraged me to go in.

I think the investors Nick persuaded into putting their hard earned in caught a nasty cold on that one. Odd, given how at the bottom of the street and just over the road are some bars which are almost always busy but with a much simpler concept.

I'm not a huge fan of Nicks bars anymore. They don't seem to offer anything other than overpriced drinks.

The two at the top of the Soi have "No prostitution" signs everywhere which I take as instruction that the girls won't go with customers. If that's the case then what's the point of buying a lady drink, or going in there in the first place?.

And after a buying a girl a few drinks that you're interested in and ask her if she's interested in a short time or a long time all she has to do is point to that sign. Makes it pretty convenient for the business owner

Looks like they might just make the deadline. The latest real estate lifting for the last bar available said that management would help to fill the bars with 200 girls that'll help so they'll have a full house when they open on the first

Saw this one posted on PA from their Discord channel that had the bar names.

Edited to add: There was also a post from last Friday that Bobby Dazzler pulled out, so that's probably the reason for the red rectangle in the other floor plan.

Tiny update on Soi 21 restaurant build....

Quiet night in here tonight.....

Tree Towns HISO menu page...

I've stopped going to both Beer Hubb venues as they hit you with a service charge on top of their already high prices. The Beach Rd one is always busy though. The only time I used to go there was so I could claim my meal and beers against expenses anyway, however now they can stick it up their arse and I go to Hops instead.

Friday night ..early at The Avenue....
