Okay, how about listing some drinking holes around the city some of you enjoy. Give us some beer prices and drink prices, and some reasons why you like to drink in the joint. When's the best time of day or night to go there for a drink or two (or more). Does it have AC? Fans at least? Good music playing? Live music? Sports on the TV? Good staff? Personable and friendly sociable people drinking in there? Bar snacks? Appetizers menu? Prices?
I'll start. It's been about 5 years since I hung out much around Surin town. I had favorite places to go with friends for a drink, some in the day time, some in the night time.
One I used to like was the Cafe Italia. I went there quite a bit during the afternoons. It has AC. It has, or had anyway, sexy young wait staff who were friendly and personable, flirty, and appreciated a good tip for their good service. It has music, but nothing worth mentioning as it was Thai Pop mainly (but not loud at least). It has cold beers (I'll get some prices and beer brands when I go there, possibly, later in the week for a drink and a chat with friends.) They have some outdoor tables and chairs too. They have a small bar with some decent alcohol as well (Jim Beam, Wild Turkey), and some snacks/cookies/cakes and some small Thai appetizers as well. It is situated diagonally across from where the 'old' Japanese restaurant was located, just past and across the street from the Tawan Dang rock & roll club. There's covered parking for motocykes around the side, as well as a few parking spaces for cars.
You'll likely see me in there once a week or so of an afternoon once I am done with the moving and shutting down of Starbeam's (they're taking out the glass in front today - ACs were taken out yesterday). Haven't been there in ages and hope it is still of the ambiance and quality that it was a few years back. Anyone go in there lately?
