The Penalty Spot Sports and Music Pub

Bar Sports bar

😠 Showed up and just wanted to drink local whiskey and play pool. A small woman with glasses who worked there pretended that she knew me as soon as I showed up. Lots of talk just so she could ask me to buy her a drink. Ok, I went with it just to put out a good vibe. That’s on me. I know I’m a tar...

    Showed up and just wanted to drink local whiskey and play pool. A small woman with glasses who worked there pretended that she knew me as soon as I showed up. Lots of talk just so she could ask me to buy her a drink. Ok, I went with it just to put out a good vibe. That’s on me. I know I’m a target as a SWM in that area so I expect it. I played pool. Some of the patrons I met there were cool but they didn’t stick around for long. The pool table was lumpy and I could see my ball wiggle down the felt when I hit it slowly. The problem that I have is when I’m already kind enough to agree to purchase you a drink yet you still add on more to my end bill. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. I already checked my tab and summed it up before. When I said that I needed her to take the extras off she just gave me a stupid smile and said nothing. I kept it up for a while but still the same stupid smile. Anyway, I paid the bill but I won’t be going back there. My two servings of Sangsom and 2 games of pool cost me as much as 2 700ml bottles of Sangsom at 7-11. I’m living in Bangkok now and this is the only bar that has done this to me so far. Another bar with a pool table is called Blue Boar (or something like this) on soi 18. They have a pool table too and they’ve never tried to rip me off. If you want to play pool, go there. If you’re just looking for a dive bar, lots exist and I’ve never been ripped off by any of them either. Soi Cowboy (nearby) might have a worse reputation based on what I’ve heard so maybe go at least another block farther for a general dive bar. ✌🏻

    The staff was rude, pushing us to order even though our glasses were half full . BUT THE WORST THING is , the lady ( the waitress IF IT CAN BE called this way ) touched me two consecutive times, the first time she put her hand on my knee and the second time on my shoulder and I felt extremely harassed . We went there to enjoy a cold beer after a nice dinner on a Saturday night and we actually ended up feeling extremely uncomfortable and I personally felt disrespected at the highest point by such behaviors. After more than 3 years in Thailand I have never encountered this before and this was a total disgrace.

    Very nice restaurant/pub on Sukhumvit Road. The place is a German-Thai mix with a good choice of food and drinks. Prices are in the middle range. You can listen live music too. Upstairs another room is available with tables, a pool and some girls you can play together if you want. The place is easy reachable, just on Sukhumvit Road before soi 29, a few steps from Asok.

    Great place to watch football and have a few beers. They have 2 live bands that play every evening, the first band is more popular rock tunes and all Thai musicians. The second band are on around 10pm and play more pop songs and are fronted by two Filipino singers. Both bands are loud, so take care of your ears if your in front as it’s ringing ears the next day for sure. The staff are generally a friendly bunch until they get stuck on their phone screens and you’ll not get any service. Also, more often than not, the beer served warms up as the night goes on. Common mistake in bars that don’t manage their fridges very well. staff take new beers from the fridge that have just been restocked that evening. Rookie mistake or sheer laziness... you decide! Food is good and offers both Thai & European dishes.

    Was watching and enjoying football matches when suddenly at the 88th minute !!! of the game the management decided to switch to another channel. Complained to the staff but no action was taken. Don't go there if you want to be sure to watch games to the end.

    This pub is good for western people. If you are Japanese, you must be careful about bill. They overcharge you. I never recommend this pub.

    Very nice sports bar. Had come here many times in the past with colleauges and we always had a good time. This time I came with my partner to watch a Premier League match. We had come to reserve a table one hour before the match and got a nice small table. They have screens everywhere, so wherever you sit, you will be able to watch the match. We had dinner too, the spring rolls, fries and fried rice were really nice, the currywurst was ok (but I'm German so call me biased ;-) ). The waiters here are the cutest and very efficiant. They even came to ask if we want to order another round of happy hour beer and they would bring it in some time, since we still hadn't finished!

    I happened to pass by here, and the bar manager Tim invited me to sit down and grab a beer. I was drunk that night, but I was very happy. Thank you Tim for buying me Thai rum, and also thanks to the 23's waitress's kiss. Please tell her, I'll buy her a drink next time.

    Cozy bar. Very good food, including Wester dishes. Prices for beverage are a bit too high in my opinion

    Good place to enjoy alongwith friends and colleagues with iced Beer with quality music and food. Only problem is that it doesn't have Indian food options if you are an vegetarian.

  • 4/5 sagar b. 4 years ago on Google
    Its a good Pub in Sukhumvit (Bangkok) area with nice ambiance. It has nice music arrangement which will cheer your mood. You can have many wine brands available here. So you can enjoy them with a rock music. Staff was not that up to the mark(3/5 stars) (There was a delay in serving orders) Rest of the things were good.
