Madrid Bar to Close

[Mekong]

After 52 years Madrid Bar in Patpong has served its last Pizza and Closed its doors for the last time.

Many happy memories of the bar

I remember a lovely afternoon with you as we watched the market set up in amazing time an skill

I remember that as if it was yesterday. Sitting with a cold one, chewing the shit without a care in the world with the amazing show going on. Ahh happy days.

It has been reopened for awhile now. New location. I think Dang, Daughter of the original owner is running it. Not quite the same, but what is when it moves. I still remember the old place, the original “ cross readers” and “Hobos” and “Famous Drunks” of old Bangkok, Jack, Tony all of them, great crowd. Sadly almost all are gone now. For the 1-2 that are left, the new location is a bit too far to go. Still worth a visit and if you’re lucky you might see a “famous face.” Felling nostalgic today, gotta big out the old photos….

Sad really,

Sort of reminds me of when Peter relocated Woodstocks from NEP to Thong Lor 13, not the same. Not sure how Bourbon Street is fairing down Ekkamai but I assume it has suffered a similar fate.
