Aug 17th A new gogo “The Office” has opened in Soi LK Metro. The opening night was too early to give a fair report but it has great potential.

Jun 4th The Cavern has recently opened on the former site of Sisterz. Heavily themed, perhaps it should have been called Fred Flintstone a gogo? ฿59 Tiger draft, part of the Happy/Peppermint/Beach Club group.
May 29th I’ve really been enjoying Atlantic bar recently, good looking girls, music at a sensible volume and ฿60 Tigers, what more could you want?
May 7th: Many good looking girls in Iron Club. Remember your service girl, there have been many reports of them failing to return change.
May 6th: Tahitian Queen reopens after a recent fire.
