Gadfly Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 A go go bar, or even a hostess bar, that serves good wine (maybe a revolving selection), serves light snacks (maybe sushi?), plays jazz, is comfortable and clean, and the girls are available and young? Soi 33 seems like a likely venue for such a place, but I haven't seen anything there that really provides all of this. Is there such a place? Would it work? Or is this just not workable for the type of crowds that go go and hostess bars profit from? I know I would be a regular visitor to such a place and would pay a premimum for these features, but I also know my tastes aren't always consistent with market norms. On the other hand, I am not the only 50ish guy in the bars. Any suggestions or thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I like the idea of a Soi 33 type bar which specializes in wines but would also have a selection of spirits and bottled beers. It could also be the first bar to serve scones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddy Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 I have been to upscale bars like that in Tokyo, very expensive. I myself would go to a bar like that in BKK and I am sure enough people would to keep it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.. Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Lookie Lookie on 33 has a decent wine selection (or maybe that was just for a wine tasting they did. Aussie wines then (Aussie owner). Christie's has a full wine cellar (one of those refrigerator thingies), but do not know what they stock. Big Shotz has a fine (and ever changing, for better or worse) spirits collection. But none of them play jazz. How about Piano or Violin on Ekkamai?

I very much doubt it. Also who's going to go into a wine bar if it's got a stupid name like Lookie Lookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.. Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Cuz the Pussy Pussy is fine looking? Who cares if the staff know about wine? Go in as an informed consumer or an adventurous soul (sole?). The better question is if the staff can give a good blow job! Cheers, SD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 SD, SD, SD. I'm at you. Wine bars are meant to be sophisticated places where you can enjoy good wine and intelligent conversation. Not seedy vice dens where the staff will suck you off for the price of a couple of glasses of cheap red. P.S. Do you know any that do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samak Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 i really love decent wines, but i would never drink one in a hostess bar and certainly not in a gogo. i also like to listen to operas, but i would never ask a DJ in a gogo to play La Traviata! the fact that the staff does not know anything about wine does not matter. i have hardly seen any staff in even a rather decent restaurant in LOS, who has much idea about wines!
