👍 The live band is nice. Went here on Friday night they only have happy hours until 8pm. But other bars extend happy hours to 10pm. The bar is nice inside, comfort seat, nice and cold draught beer. Service is so so. They don't hear or see you. Have to call several times. The price is ok but you can fi... People often mention music, club, floor, night, late, live, Bangkok, great, staff, good,

    3rd floor is definitely night club vibes. It's always packed...especially late at night. Super hard to dance. 2nd floor has more room to move but you'll definitely come out smelling like a cigarette. Place is packed full of foreigners...but it is open late.

    Had always good experiences, was a lot in this club spending a lot money. But today a security did not let me upstairs and wanted money. Very crazy guy and using his position. Dear manager, check your security. Big fat ugly guy on second floor security today on 28.11. at midnight 😀

    The best Bar / Club in I ever visited. What make it so awesome is their bands, we sit through both bands sessions (Saturday night) and went up to their club after the bar closed. This is the best night I had in Bangkok. The atmosphere is awesome, beer is 150 baht per bottle. Great music great people friendly staffs. Side note, there are genuine girls partying there, not full of “agenda-oriented” freelance.

    Oh man. This place was great. If you love live music like I do. Went here on recommendation of the bartender at Whisgars. I never made it past the ground floor bar. But that was all I needed. Cheap (relatively) drinks and great music. The bands were all great. You may get hassled a bit by some women looking to spend the night with you (I was) but a polite no is enough to get them to move on. I will be back tomorrow for sure!

    Penny black is one of the few late night (after hours) clubs in Bangkok. Upstairs of what looks like a small hotel on soi cowboy. It will get busy from 3am onwards after the bars close. A small hip hop club which is definitely not classy. But if you've made it this far you're probably that drunk that it wont bother you. If you're over 40 you'e going to find it loud and smokey. If find yourself ending up here a lot....get help :-)

    This my favourite place to party in Bangkok. Every time I go there I always have so much fun that it makes me want to cry. Entrance fee: There is no entrance fee (wouldn't mind if they charged it cos the place is worth it). ID :They check your passport at the door ( you can show them a copy on your phone too). Music: The DJs can read the room! They play music according to what the crowd wants so you'll dance until you get tired. The last time I went there my friends had to drag me out, that's just how much fun I was having. Service/treatment by staff: They don't discriminate against foreigners , in fact the last time I was there I was dancing in front of the DJ and he started playing big songs by African artists (he looked so proud when he saw me going crazy). I just love it there. Time : Get there at around 1:30am , that's when the vibes go up. I'm South African , I don't leave until they switch off the music or a bouncer taps me on my shoulder lol Vibes : You already know!! Planning on going back again on Songkran Well done to the owner , whoever they are !!!

    My absolute favourite club. This was the first club I went to when I moved to Bangkok and it’s still my favourite on soi cowboy. The music is always great and it’s always open late when everything else is closed. It’s always packed but such an amazing spot. If you wanna dance to good music penny black is the place to be. There is live music downstairs and on the middle first floor there is a lounge and on the 2nd floor is the club.

    A dark and dirty place full with stupid crowd which was perfectly fit for them. Boring music, small tiny dance floor and the most dangerously dirty toilets.

  • 4/5 Jean G. 11 months ago on Google
    The reviews are confusing because Penny Black is a live music bar on the first floor and a nightclub upstairs. The nightclub opens late and the live music bar closes at 2am. Some of the live bands are good, but others are mediocre. I understand that they don't get a salary from the bar, but some band members are too demanding when it comes to tips. A beer is around 150 Baht for customers. The staff may give you subtle hints if you drink too slow. But I did not feel heavy pressure. Unfortunately, Bangkok is full of deadbeat foreigners who try to leave without paying their bill. I saw several guys trying to leave without paying. So the staff may demand that you pay for your drinks when you receive them. You can buy drinks for the female staff. One drink costs 200 Baht. They are waitstaff. I don't think they are bargirls so they will usually not flirt with you. And I doubt that they are available. Too bad for Penny Black, I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for some band members begging for tip all the time. And they'll openly complain if you tip 20 Baht. And it's the female band members complaining. The males don't complain.

    This is a fun place I end up after working late, often. The service is great, live music is fantastic, alcohol is legit (which is rare in bars here which open late). There is also a club on 3rd floor and a lounge type area on 2nd. They accept cards and handle them well. Bartenders are friendly. No racism of any kind, which is refreshing for Bangkok!

    It gets packed, its dark and smokey and will most likely catch covid here as the ventilation is not that great. But it does open late and let you party on if that's what you want

    AMAZING 💯 If you love 90's , then you gonna enjoy the Dj 🔥 The Staff ?

Open later than most but higher than average drink prices. Way too smokey, it is a fire trap and there are better places for similar late night activities. One of the most popular and crazy after-hours in Bangkok as of 2018. Open until very late and not very expensive. It is not the old and highly missed Swing, but it do the trick if you wanna party longer. Don't listen to these negative reviews, they don't know what they're talking about. Heavenly penny black is the nr. 1 spot to go to after 3 am in all of bangkok. Don't go there earlier, it will be empty, but after 3am and until dawn you will find yourself in the perfect location. Legends say that if you party at penny black enough, when your days come to an end, your spirit will forever party on at this real life heaven. Penny black is one of the few late night (after hours) clubs in Bangkok. Upstairs of what looks like a small hotel on soi cowboy. It will get busy from 3am onwards after the bars close.

    Tight and very basic management of the space. The club is easily crowded and moving around becomes pushing and pulling.

  • 4/5 Dave de J. 1 year ago on Google
    Go to the 2nd floor (3th floor in Thailand) and you'll find a very packed club with both Thai and foreigners.

  • 4/5 YjPenang 4 months ago on Google
    I went by myself, but the band and dancers made it a lot of fun. The staff is friendly and likes to chat, but be careful because they might order two shots of tequila for you to pay for if you're not paying attention.

    Cool club with great vibe and very attentive staff. I will have a lot of fond memories about this place :) We went there three times during our stay at Bangkok, including new years Eve. The last time was just right before the flight back... ended up dancing to BonJovi :D did not expect that...

    My experience was great. I had been there recently three times during my Bangkok trip. The drinks were reasonably priced and there was no concept & pressure of buying lady drink. The live music was awesome and it will make you stand up & dance 💃🕺👯👯. I will highly recommend to visit here if you want good drinks and electric live music. The staff too was very professional. I will visit again in my next Bangkok trip here.

  • 4/5 Adam D. 3 months ago on Google New
    Spent two nights here and loved it. The live band are so much fun! Some great singers! They do seem to do the same set every night though. Was 125thb a beer which is good. Soon adds up though as they’re only bottles. I’m a single guy who’s not interested in the sx workers so it was a pain at first as they are like flies round sh!t, but once I explained to the staff I’m not looking for that, they were great at shooing them off. The staff will pester you for a drink as often as possible but it’s not obligatory. Will definitely go back just wish they’d mix up the sets a bit. Oh, and they take card too with no extra charge so handy if you want to keep hold of your cash.

    (Translated by Google) 1. Consist of 2nd floor pub and 3rd floor club 2. Rarely running very late in Bangkok (until 5:30) 3. Drinking alcohol is cheap and good to play 4. Small club to recommend.
