Well the area around Soi Yodsak ( 6 ) certainly seems to be on the Up and Up, you have the new Night Market and North Shore Condominium project on one side and on the other side ( Soi 6 / 1 ) a new shopping centre and most important a real Car Park is being built so you can visit all your favourite haunts in Soi 6 and be certain of parking!!!.If you take a walk down Soi 6 itself you will find a number of bars have joined together to form the Soi 6 Entertainment Group offering everything from outstanding food and rooms to Buy 2 get 1 Drink free offers. The first of these bars you will come across from the beach road end is The Admiral Lord Nelson Pub, this is a new bar that also offers 9 outstanding value rooms. Downstairs you will find all things Nautical from brass fittings and fixtures, to prints of Nelson and his ship the Victory. A free pool table dominates the centre of the bar so you can enjoy your game with a nice cold pint of Draught Guinness or one of the many other drinks they have. At the Helm of this venture and always to be found at the bar is Raymond who will keep you entertained for many an hour with his yarns. Opposite the Lord Nelson is D.M.Ts - Oyys Bar, now rumour has it that if you can tell Mine Host Dave what DMT stands for a free drink is yours. Oyy and some very pleasant assistants run the bar and all things ( including the assistants ) are kept to a high standard.If you happen to call in and find a Chubby drunk Norwegian don't worry that's just Christian Dave's partner who can be found in only 2 places in Pattaya, the golf course or the bar. Further down the Soi and you come to Pattaya's favourite English Pub the Queen Victoria Inn. Now firmly established and frequented by both tourists and ex- pats alike the Queen Vic is everything you would expect of an English Pub and your escape from the fast pace of Pattaya.It boasts 21 air conditioned rooms all with cable TV, fridge, tea and coffee, safe deposit boxes some with D.V.D and balcony. The restaurant offers you all things English and Thai, a full English breakfast can be yours for only 130 Baht or if you fancy a taste of home they offer Fish and Chips ( Cod!! ), home made pie's, Imported steaks along with much, much more.The bar is without doubt the most extensive in Pattaya offering Draught Guinness, Kilkenny, Tiger, Heineken and yes Strongbow Cider, the only pub to have this in Pattaya. They also have 2 Satellite systems so whatever your sport we can probably get it. So all in all The Queen Vic is the place to meet, eat, stay and drink. Across the road from the Queen Vic you will find 3 bars in this order, The British Bulldog Bar, Dirty Den's and the Viking Bar. Any time in these bars is party time, all have charming staff, soft seats and low lights.At present they have a good deal going in that if you pick up a flyer from any of the bars in this article and produce it to the Bulldog, Dens or the Viking you can buy 2 drinks and get 1 free. So the next time you venture down Soi 6 not only will you be able to have a nice meal or book a room but get a free drink or 2 at the same time.
