Pattaya Beertique beer garden takes over Hooters site

[reader]

From Pattaya Mail

Craft beers, which mean smaller breweries and expanding tastes, are spreading throughout the world. The latest addition, through the trade-name Beertique, is located on Pattaya’s breezy beach road in between the Tahitian Queen and Soi Post Office. Opened last month in a partnership by Pattaya businessman and investor Jessataporn Bunnag (Chang), the open frontage is proving a popular meeting ground for craft beer lovers.

It’s familiar territory for Chang. “Over thirty years ago I opened Right Spot Bar at the very same location and before it became Hooters,” he says. “But the covid pandemic later closed Hooters, so we decided to expand Beertique in Pattaya with this great location facing the sea.” Apart from draught and bottled beers from across the globe, there’s a food menu with specialty pizzas and Thai or international choices.

Chang acknowledges the customer base has changed dramatically over the years. “Right Spot mostly attracted British male vacationers on their own, but Beertique caters for today’s international travellers, often with families,” he says. “Beach Road with its neon signs is no longer a dark area after sundown and Beertique offers live music in the evenings from 8 pm.”

If I were to visit Pattaya, I'd usually head for Beertique apart from one reason - live music. If i want a beer with friends or even on my own in the hope I might chat with someone, I do not want music blaring over my shoulder. I have never understood this fascination with live music in eateries and bars.

now you understand why Foodland Patpong is such popular meeting spot for forum members - at least we can talk and hear each other ( and others can hear what we are talking about )

I didn't realise that Tahitian Queen was still going, amazing. I must have visited over several years about 40 years ago. I had a good time there on several visits, good music(not live), friendly, no hosts so neither gay nor straight, and with a great view out over the beach from a cool air conditioned interior. I will give it another try next time I am in town.
