Well, when a business is pretty vocal claiming "success" and suddenly goes silent, its usually not a good sign..... No dirty laundry IMO, just information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 If I was in Pattaya I would visit Scooters, looks like the type of place I could take my wife and have a comfortable evening even though there are ladies working there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very comfortable place with music that I like and I guess many others must as well because they use the same Era Music in all of their locations. The times I've been in I've been made to feel welcome. I'm sure you would too I wouldn't hesitate to take a a serious girlfriend or a wife there it's that kind of place.

Had been going to Pattaya 10 years before i ever went down that soi,and that was only because i stumbled across the Secrets forum while looking for a room in the WS area. Joined the forum and ended up using the bar and hotel. Unless you know its there or get someone who likes to investigate lots of side soi's,you ain't gonna get a great deal of passing foot traffic. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, I only knew of the Rockhouse due to discovering Pattaya Live during an online search for something nay years ago. The same for many. The forums were business tools, and they worked. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with me,the Rockhouse was just another beer bar by Champagne,a regular bar of mine since forever,and i might of popped in their once or twice for an odd beer.Only started using it more after joining the forum.

Tailspin Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 i hope it survives, I like the bar, and always stay in the hotel. The location is great as my favourite places to visit are in WS I'm keen to know what is going to happen.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see how some would not like the location but the location is secondary for me and the type of crowds the bar should be pulling in. There are many bars, clubs in Pattaya that are off the beaten track (certainly away from most tourist trails) yet they still do good trade, it is therefore the product that will attract the patronage and this is what I believe Scooters is relying on as they have success with their other ventures. For me I visited quite a lot when I was married to my first wife, it was somewhere we always visited usually as our last haunt before going home. I don't think the location is that bad unless, of course, Walking Street and it's vicinity is beyond the area where some would find themselves. I wish it well as it has the product I like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Yesitisdakid Posted June 9, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2019 As someone who was involved from the very beginning there is no question absolutely none that the Forum drove that business and without that forum it would have not succeeded those May argue but that's the plain fact. Ben was very smart getting the Forum off the ground 1 year before the bar ever came to be opened. We had Secrets meetings at other bars around town during the building the excitement was building to see just what this new bar would be. All of that because of the forum plain and simple. I think the location it's a poor one nothing else on that Soi to speak of. To this day I have guys that I talk to that come to town and tell me they couldn't get to the hotel and throw their bags down quick enough and get into Secrets when they arrived here. It wasn't for everybody but back in the day it was the place. I never forget opening night we open the doors at 8 people came through the doors like we were giving hundred dollar bills away. I had customers tell me they came they were there for 30 minutes and couldn't get a drink because it was just too swamped. Far more than I would have ever expected and I'm guessing anybody else. I'm real happy to have been a part of it. 9 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barsie Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Word from staff is- some have been paid bits- some have been told they will be getting paid 2 months in arrears so already owed a months wages, so working for free. Bars been dead for maybe 3 years now- it would take a genius to turn it around. Paul and James couldn't get out of their quick enough when they realised their mistake. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that they had a terrific social media team....I must admit to not doing Twitter and the likes, but I don't see anything on the social media that I do use, accept for a banner here, soon ignored... @Scooter Man has gone rather quiet on this forum, and I don't think ever made an appearance on the one initially set up for the bar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
