They just opened a 3rd beer bar on the street level below Trendy. Simply called 'The Pool Bar', about 300 square meters on 2 levels. Nice layout, but a good hike from Sukhumvit. They better hope the Trendy Condos fill up with mongers. Update on Soi 13. They just opened a 3rd beer bar on the street level below Trendy.

THe few spots that are larger that I looked into who told me absolutely no bars or restaurants are still vacant. Good thai capitalistic values at work. ex uk - many the ladyboys are well travelled. on nutter - your right. I totally spaced it. thx dj - I think they are basically now taking any tenant they have.

It is above the Swan Inn at the junction of Soi 4 and Soi 6. You walk into the Swan restaurant and go up the stairs. It opened last November and stays open very late if there are customers. It's a run-of-the-mill pool bar with a friendly mamasan and girls. There is an after-hours disco next to it which I assume has the same owner. When I popped my head through the disco door recently, there was music playing but not one person inside - not even any staff. Bizarre. Smitty: You walk past Oasis 1 every day.

Beer bars don't seem to fit in with the up-scale theme of Trendy. Nice pool tables in the Sports Bar, and both bars were busy when I dropped in early January. I think many Soi 1 beer bar owners didn't want to abandon their business because they had paid large key money amounts when they initially leased their Soi 1 bars.

I called a friend and suggested we meet there to check it out (about 3 months ago). As I was walking there he called me and said not to bother, as it was totally lame. He hadn't even stayed long enough to order a beer. When the Sports Bar in Trendy opened they put flyers in my building.
