Romantic Bar Hua Hin

This has got to be one of the friendliest bars in the world. The beer is ice cold, the music is great and the girls are not only beautiful but really good fun. Much of the credit for this must go to the owner who is one of the nicest, helpful and generous people I have ever met. My next visit to Hua Hin cannot come quick enough and the first beer I have will be in this bar. Probably the last as well. Get yourself there for a fun night and tell them I sent you.

Nat Bar Hua Hin

Nat bar is a corner establishment situated opposite the Genie pub. It is run by Nat and Thomas who is a most convivial German host. The bar being on a corner and having no walls on two of its sides helps it achive an open and welcoming atmosphere. There is a pool table, darts and various bar games to help you relax. There is also a TV showing football every night. The bar stocks all the usual beers and spirits as well as selling a few well chosen imported German largers.
What I think gives this bar the edge over most others is the quality of the oblutions. Sanitary ware to exceed all but the most decerning toilet goer. Clean and accesorised the toilet exudes the fragrance of a freshly plucked flower, it is worth visiting this bar just to spend a baht!

Celtic Bar Hua Hin

It's been 12 months since I was last visiting Hua Hin. On my first visit I was enticed into the Celtic Bar simply because it seemed quieter than most and had an available pool table. The bar girls certainly don't get in your face unlike other bars, so you're left to have a quiet drink if that's what you want. However, it seems a little run-down and in need of refurbishment. I recently saw a post that it may now be under new management, I know the previous owner was looking for a buyer the last time I was there. So there is a risk that the information given here is out of date. There is a widescreen TV behind the bar and another at the rear of the premises. There are a dozen of so high bar stools and I also remember an orange (yes, ORANGE) leather sofa. The beer prices were reasonable, about 50 baht for a bottle if I remember correctly, but they may have increased by now. The music varies widely but the staff are always willing to play anything you like if you ask. The girls themselves are polite but good fun and enjoy their games of pool!
Certainly worth a visit....assuming things haven't changed in the last year!

I was enticed by the fact that it was the Celtic bar and I was extremely surprised and gladdened by the various Celtic memorabilia on show - some nights the girls dress up in the hoops! Only thing is, no visible evidence of it being a real Celtic bar -no videos of games, Setanta satelite so no live coverage of games. Don't know who owns the bar but if they are serious about it being a Celtic bar they will have to go up a gear - real potential for a meeting point for boys and girls.

Prices extremely reasonable; large Beer Chang for about 60 Baht or so, free pool table and no problems. A larger sized bar with good service and easy going atmosphere - the girls certainly don't get in your face.

Octopussy Bar Hua Hin

If you are looking for a place that stands out from the crowd and dares to be different then look no more you have arrived. All the red neon outside not only lights the street but the whole building as well, inside the uv lighting makes for a warm atmosphere with a hint of "this is the place my mother told me never to go". With all the staff dressed up in their uniforms this place just oozes fun. Probably the oldest and coldest beer fridge in Hua Hin you'll need a cold one to stop the steam coming out of your shirt. Six televisions will keep you up to date with all the sport and news you will ever need, two american pool tables mean you won't have to wait long for a game, the juke box has tunes from the 50's right up to date. If you want some sun with your beer head out the back to the garden and chill. If you stop by for a visit don't forget to ask about swing low swing high!!!

Johnny Walkers Bar Hua Hin

Rounding the corner from The Ship I could already hear James Brown getting down and funky before I reached the bar. The low-lights and disco flavour set the atmosphere just right for DJ Dr Dave's first night spinning the tunes at the JW's June Hipshaker. Johnnie himself was making busy on the BBQ cooking up delicious ribs and chicken for everyone. The soulful groove of sixties beats, motown, R&B and smooth soul filled the air, skillfully mixed by Dave who said "if you're bored of hearing Hotel California, cheesy pop music about ketchup and other seriously dubious tunes then this is for you". The night was a great success, a top atmosphere with cold beer, BBQ and a funky beat. The June Hipshaker will be held again on the 25 th am I'm not going to miss it!

The Ship Bar Hua Hin

After the recent renovations that took longer than expected a beer in The Ship was long over due. With a nice selection of brews, a functioning jukebox again and a few cuties in the bar this place is worth a visit. It is also a hangout for local students so is usually quite busy with a buzzing atmosphere. Owner Eddie told us "I'm putting in a dance floor as soon as I no longer have to use a step ladder to get upstairs" before turning up the Irish folk music. Very nice décor and comfortable seating that so many bars in town lack was refreshing. Be sure to pop by for a cold one.
