The address translates to 58/16, 58/17 Surawong Rd.

Hope it's not one of those " boys for girls " bars patronized only by locals.

We need to find some spies to go and check, all mine dissipated at the moment

It doesn't look like it's "boys for girls" given the references to "Man Only" and "Dark Room Available" on some of the posters on Facebook for previous events. Our collective radar seems to have failed to notice this place to date(thanks to OP for picking up on this) and spies definitely needed to attend!

The Skybar, located opposite Nature Boy, has a male only, late night bar in addition to a restaurant and karaoke. It's located a short distance from Silom Soi 7.

It's popular with guys from Myanmar guys who work in Silom area.

Google maps is showing the location of HIM.bkk as being just off Thaniya Road, close to the Sala Daeng BTS station, on Silom Soi 7.  

The above map does indeed show the correct location of Silom Soi 7, near the Chong Nonsi BTS station, but this is Thailand, and things are not always simple or make sense.  

Consistent with the countless mysteries of Bangkok, there are two short sois on Google maps, both named Silom Soi 7, on opposite sides of Silom Road.  In English, both sois are marked Silom 7 Alley.

There are a number of Google reviews of HIM.bkk, dating from as far back as one year.  There are photos and videos viewable on Google reviews.  Looking at the videos and reviews, the bar looks like a Korean-themed hangout for young Thais.

That is the point.  As stated in a previous post, the sois shown on the two maps above are both marked as Silom 7 Alley (Silom soi 7) on Google maps.

The business provided an address that is not easy to understand, leading to the confusion of the location of the bar.  

The map I posted above shows the location of HIM.bkk, just off Thaniya Road.
