    Fun people watching gay bar. Fun night being the only girl with the boys. The service was fast and the staff were friendly. They also service margarita jugs. :)

    One of the better gay bars to drink, people watch, and have a little dance, have plenty of space.

    Not the biggest fan... had folks outside tell us it was happy hour before 8pm. So we decided to grab one drink and cool down from the heat. We ordered beer and cranberry and vodka which were supposed to be 79 each (160 total) We tried to close out but the two bartenders were busy chit chatting away... we even tried google translating “excuse me” to grab their attention bc their English wasn’t the best. Finally someone from the other side of the bar saw us and yelled at the bartender for us... Got the bill ... but was charged 210.... extra 60baht for cranberry juice. Confused we asked why “vodka + mix” says 79 but we were charged 79 and 60 for cranberry and vodka... couldn’t understand (I know, I should try and learn Thai #dumbamerican) ... frustrated we just ended up paying and leaving. I did however like their music ... 2 stars

    Great place to eat and drink. Excellent staff who will look after you though the evening. Thai and Western food served. Try the Laos Dark Beer - my favourite!

    Great place in Silom for a drink, a dance, after a show in the nearby bars or some food. I really liked the atmosphere. Someone with a very good taste did all the (Christmas) decorations inside and outside. Good terrace to watch the people and nice AC inside. Best reached by MRT, no parking available.

    Good place to have a drink. Staff very nice and giving a good service. We have been coming here for over about 18 years and never were disappointed. If you want to meet people or just have a drink it is definitely the place to be.

    I have been there, it is amazing. I was with my long blue shirt back buttoned and it is not easy to wear this but in this area no one take care. The waiters are very friendly. I took my diner and a switch of beer/sprite installed at the terrace. The price are very correct maybe the best from the street as I took time to be attacked by waiters who deliver their welcome. I saw some people coming in the street and believing that gays will eat them. Some couple with the wife attached to the man and some opposite(who is the home boss)...and off course some one are riding the street eyes fixed on there phone screen. I went also at karaoke, I love it too. Come as you are! I will go back tonight with the fushia shirt if you recognize me...

  • 1/5 Thorsten S. 1 year ago on Google
    Used to be a good bar in the past. Staff was always polite and caring. I came here 10 years. But now I‘m done. Staff is standing all together infront of the bar and smoking. Nobody assign you a table or is attending to you. I was just standing there watching people to see if someone leaves to get a table. But then they gave it to a group with 3 because they think the will make more profit. Better support small bars down the street

    Fun bar with okay service and not bad food. Great place to sit and people watch before heading on to Soi 2. Prices do appear to be getting higher and higher but still not bad value

  • 2/5 Damon M. 6 years ago on Google
    The food is average and the customer service is not there.

  • 4/5 Fa B. 5 months ago on Google
    In context of Bangkok nightlife , know what to expect and this stands out as a café-trottoir for drinks late until 2 AM . Servers make efforts to please you and have great memories (please Tip them ) . ****Did not try the food ****

  • 3/5 Benjamin A. 5 months ago on Google
    Such inattentive service - waiters too busy in the street trying to get people in here rather than looking after the patrons already buying drinks. The bar over the road is much better, it’s called Circus.

  • 5/5 Jan F. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing place with great music. You can pay by card. The staff is helpful and easy going, you definitely feel welcome. I decided to spend my birthday evening at Balcony Pub Bar and the waiters took it seriously and prepared candles, ice cream and free birthday drink. Thank you guys for this unforgettable evening! Strongly recommended. Ying is the BEST!!!

  • 5/5 Roy P. 11 months ago on Google
    We went here 19 years ago and wanted to renew old memories. We are not a gay couple and it did not offend us that it is listed as gay, as it was very clean tidy and friendly.

  • 4/5 L.Patrick K. 1 year ago on Google
    I really like the Balcony bar . Great affordable foods and great music. The two bartenders there ,Mark and Nuey work hard and are very pleasant to customers but there's a new wannabe bartender there that's very rude to customers. I think the management needs to reconsider his position there . Put him upstairsnot behind the bar. He escalates tensions and arguments.

  • 5/5 Max C. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been many times and was impressed with the way of their staff look after the customers. The staff were so kind, friendly and easy to talk with beside, the atmosphere was great especially inside. The bartender was also very kind, nice and they were good at conversation. I enjoyed the food especially the spring rolls and the drinks so much that was so good and delicious. That was a good experience! I’ll come here again.

  • 5/5 ติ่มซําของเจ้า �. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a place to sit and chill but if you want to dance to can. The price is good. The singer sings live. There are many foods to choose. But if we want to sing, there is karaoke on the second floor. There are a lot of people during the weekend. Good service staff, friendly, everyone and can speak English.

  • 4/5 Peet N. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was there about 3 times, mostly I use a happy hour when I have 1 liter of Mojito or mai Tai. After drinking the first liter I thought it was foolish, after drinking half the second liter I found that it probably does not fool, but it was a bit late ...., plus it was still 30 degrees. even in the evening (Original) Byl jsem tam asi 3x, většinou využívám happy hour, kdy si dávám 1 litr Mojito nebo mai Tai. Po vypití prvního litru jsem si říkal, že to šidí, po vypití poloviny druhého litru jsem zjistil, že to asi tak moc nešidí, ale to už bylo trochu pozdě...., navíc pořád bylo 30 st. i večer

    Find Ying as your server he’s so pleasant and nice. Would recommend!

  • 2/5 Paulo D. 5 years ago on Google
    Terrible service. Offensive waiter who made assumptions about my boyfriend and demanded orders for drinks. I do not recommend this bar. The bar opposite to it, telephone, has much better service. HOWEVER, the manager was very friendly and apologized for the whole experience.

  • 4/5 Dejan D. 5 years ago on Google
    Cute little bar with seats facing on the street so you get to watch everyone who passes around. Drinks and service is good. Servers are friendly

  • 5/5 Traci I. 6 years ago on Google

  • 2/5 Massini 1 year ago on Google
    Sad to see the grande dame of gaybars in Bangkok declining from month to month

  • 1/5 patrick s. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Expensive and long wait to be served. The menu is no longer presented. The main thing is that the drinks go over the table and into the cash register. (Original) Teuer und lange warten bis man bedient wird. Die Speiskarte bekommt man nicht mehr vorgelegt. Hauptsache die Drinks gehen über den Tisch und in die Kasse.

  • 5/5 Phil B. 4 years ago on Google
    Always buzzing gay bar. Highlight of Bangkok's nightlife. People watching haven. Opposite side of the road to Telephone Bar.

  • 4/5 Gaétan L. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Pleasant atmosphere for a happy hour. Friendly, helpful and cheerful staff. Food very good. (Original) Atmosphère agréable pour un 5 à7. Personnel sympathique, serviable et souriant. Bouffe très bien.

    (Translated by Google) Saturday night was more fun with more multinationals. (Original) 土曜日の夜は多国籍の方がたくさんでとても楽しかった。

  • 4/5 Naviru S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is not bad, prices are reasonable and happy hour is until 20:30 pm. The service is quite correct, the music pleasant, and the services are acceptable. In short, a good place to drink, or even snack. (Original) El local no está mal, los precios son razonables y el happy hour es hasta las 20:30 pm. El servicio es bastante correcto, la música agradable, y los servicios son aceptables. En definitiva un buen lugar en el que tomar algo, o incluso picar.

  • 5/5 Kurt W. 4 years ago on Google
    Been here for 3 days in a row. Nice music. Reasonable price.

  • 1/5 Thomas S. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Nice bar, but there are guests who take advantage of the good nature of the cellar. Drink and do not pay. In my case, I should pay for drinks from the other guests. That annoyed me a lot. The staff was not correct to me so I give the bar only a star. Never again the bar. Then rather in due telephone bar next to where everything runs off correctly. (Original) Schöne Bar, aber es gibt Gäste die die gutmütigkeit der Keller ausnutzen. Trinken und nicht bezahlen. In meinen Fall sollte ich von den anderen Gästen die Getränke bezahlen. Das hat mich sehr geärgert. Das Personal war nicht korrekt zu mir sodass ich der Bar nur einen Stern gebe. Nie wieder die Bar. Dann lieber in due telephone Bar neben an wo alles korrekt abläuft.

  • 4/5 HHBenfica 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Cheap bar in the "gay" street of Bangkok. No obvious moneyboys. A typical "see and be seen" hotspot with a nice atmosphere and reasonably usable cocktails. Here you can go well even as a couple. P.S. In terms of another review. We did not see any cockroaches, but would rather classify them as typical of the country (heat, general hygiene), as long as they do not end up in the drinks. Also in the middle of Berlin I have already seen rats in the outdoor area of ​​restaurants. (Original) Günstige Bar in der "schwulen" Straße von Bangkok. Keine offensichtlichen Moneyboys. Ein typischer "sehen und gesehen werden" Hotspot mit netter Atmosphäre und halbwegs brauchbaren Cocktails. Hier kann man auch als Paar gut hingehen. P.s. In Bezug auf eine andere Bewertung. Kakerlaken haben wir zwar keine gesehen, aber würden es eher als landestypisch (Hitze, generelle Hygiene) einordnen, so lange die nicht in den Drinks landen. Auch mitten in Berlin habe ich schon Ratten im Außenbereich von Lokalen gesehen.

    Good service

  • 5/5 Keisuke M. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) A bar that is always crowded among Silom Soi 4. There is a live weekend and there is a karaoke room on the second floor. It is completely gay area, but it is safe to come alone. Happy hour is there. (Original) Silom Soi 4の中でも いつも混んでるバー。 週末はライブあり、二階はカラオケルームもある。 完全にゲイエリアだが、1人で来ても安全。 ハッピーアワーあり。

  • 3/5 Christophe L. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Yes without more. Cocktails very diluted. An institution but a pity that quality is not at the rendezvous. (Original) Oui sans plus. Cocktails très dilués. Une institution mais dommage que la qualité ne soit pas au rendez-vous.

  • 2/5 Jacob C. 5 years ago on Google
    There is no DJ for the karaoke, it was unorganized and no one was serving drinks up there, go across the street.

  • 1/5 Peter S. 5 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) If you like sitting on the terrace with cockroaches then it's ok. Otherwise not recommended. (Original) Wenn Du es magst, mit Kakerlaken auf der Terrasse zu sitzen, dann ist es ok. Ansonsten nicht zu empfehlen.

  • 5/5 arnaud b. 5 years ago on Google
    Funny bar :)

  • 4/5 Henry W. 5 years ago on Google
    Joyful gay pub full of happy slightly mature foreign tourists and Thai men. There is an earlier group who come to eat and relax around 8.00-10.00pm. And others who come later mostly to drink and socalise. Some stay on until closing but many move onto other venues in the area.
