Magic Bar - Soi Gonzo

[Ur Hunny]

I found a great beer bar on Soi Gonzo. Its called Magic Bar and is the first bar on the right when you enter the soi. I have enjoyed a couple of great nights here, and I will be going back for more. You will have no worries about getting ripped off or your bin padded, and I have been treated very well here. Its located in a great spot to start your night off. Friendly staff, and very reasonable drink prices. I highly recommend this bar.

Gonzo...isn't that a muppet...been years since I stepped into that soi....and I'm sure it will be years more before I do again....seems dead boring and unappealing to me

Unlike the mongering paradise of Kamala eh??

Fancy a few days in AC Nells, going next week.. windy season.. no punters.. even we will look hansum!!

 

[Reyna08]

funny you should say that...I have been into Patong for nightlife once since living in Kamala and I have no desire to do so soon with the exception of catching up with Nicke and a few mates in MTB....I have no interest in promoting Kamala as the answer to all things Phuket but I'm pretty happy here.....still plenty more bars and girls for me to explore here as yet...and believe it or not I find the nightlife here more lively,engaging and less desperate than in Patong

err and that's a no to PI too Dennis....if I can't be bothered to make it into "town" I can't imagine jumping on a plane...555

Know exactly what you are saying Nels, during my flitrtation with Kamala I probably went into town 6 times.

Had a gf there, true, but my mongering ( a very small amount:happy:} centered around a couple of bars there.

Glad your comfortable mate, welcome to the world of doing nowt!!

 

[Artemisc]

Are you the owner?

 

[danielblarg]

Sounds awesome! :

 

[eir]

Tell me about it! I've seen you TWICE since you moved here!! :wink2:

 

[Aye Jae]

I gotta say in all honesty Kamala is a damn good night out. Of course it isn't going to appeal to all tastes,granted, but it has everything you want for a good night out. Don't forget a good night out is about who you are with and not where you are,usually, so what with a good crowd, cheap beers, none pushy BG's and a generally relaxed atmosphere i'm quite happy by-passing Patong to get to Kamala any night........... found myself a great digs too !!!!! cheers Nels :thumbsup:

 

[Helpfull?]

unless there is new ownership from 2 years ago at magic would never step foot in there. i think it was 80-90 baht for sangsom. thinking i was getting a sangsom and coke. which i did get but after 3-4 drinks i found out the coke was an additional 40 baht per drink.

I quite like the "Lock-in Ability" of Kamalalalala as well.

You know, you are with a gang of lads, 2 o'clock has come and gone, 3 o'clock was a blur and you are just getting a bit of a taste for it!

You've found an extra thousand baht note screwed up in the corner of your shorts (or Trooooozers!) and you think Sod it, get it spent, the landlord can wait and that girly you have been holding your hand over your left eye to focus on is now brushing her hip against your thigh and you catch the eye of the bored looking one behnd the bar and order a 'Malibu and diet coke' for the lady. Sod the expense.

Her hands are down the back of your shorts now (Or Trooooozers) and the conversation has turned to something interesting and the landlord has pulled the shutters down and put a good music CD on of 70's classics that you now think you know all the words too!

Wind in the na naaaa, on the wotsit.....OOOOOOOH Viiiiieeennnaaaaaa! etc!

Then you buy another Malibu and Fanta and she is now sat on your lap and the Police patrol shine a light at the shutters and drive slowly away to the noodle stall and you find someone has plonked another bottle of Tiger in front of you and she is tickling your ear!

"Bizmillah Noooooooo I'll never let you gooooo Noooooooooo Behelzibub has a nama dooby by way for mee eee for meeeeeeeeeeeee!!! etc

Sung at full volume in to the pretty ones ear and she smiles as she hasn't a clue what you are singing but is possibly thinking of packing her over-night bag by now! Your check bin on the bar looks like a big white papery cabbage and you shrug your shoulders at it and think "waaaaaaaaa waaaaa whaddeverrrrr" Blah!

It's getting light and you've run up a bit of a slate but you can worry about that next week and you are being lead by the hand by some cutie in her high heels back to yours, you are thinking 'Who is she?' and Kamalalala is just waking up.

The joggers are jogging, the bottle collecting lady is bottling and the 7-11 girl has just fallen off the counter and into a sleepy coma next to the big sausage machine as you rummage in your pocket for your keys, can't find them and let the girly have a rummage instead.

You tell her it's 'that' key, but there is only one key on the keyring! You hide all your valuables while she watches and then fall on the bed. She snuggles up next to you and before you know it............

It's 3PM and time to do the polite thing.........Go brush your teeth before a quick bonk followed by a cup of coffee, a quick smoke and maybe another 'slower' bonk this time before the footy on the telly.

She pootles off with her money that you sneak out of your 'special' hiding place that you showed her last night while she showers. She mentions she thinks you are "Good Singer" as she clops off back to whichever bar it was.

Pick up the old mobile and ring everyone to ask if you were a bit of a twonk last night and everyone is polite and says no! They ask if they were and you obviously say no as well. Everyone agrees it was a good night.

Not had many 'lock-ins' around the Bangla or Nanai, not saying it doesn't happen and have no doubt it does.....But I do like the ones in and around the bars of Kamalalalalala.

 

[Nathan S]

yeah...what he said....I think...555

when you are sat in Riders nightclub at 4.30am with about 5 other falangs and about 40 gals who you have all spoken to gotten to know a little and have flirted with who have finished their shift at the various bars around town and are on the look out but are too proud or too shy even to come over and make it obvious.....well a wink's as good as a nod to a blind bat......and generally I;m not seeing that well by then....555

 

[Becky Curta]

I like the just popping out for a couple of swifties whilst waiting for my ruby at the Klong, bumping into a few friends and agreeing that yeah a couple for the road would go down nicely. Meeting a few more friends and thinking yeah I've not been into Vienna Bar for ages and be nice to see xyz again. To 'yesh okay, I'll jest hab the wern moor' but no way am I going onto Riders!!!

Waking in the morning with a Riders teeshirt and absolutely no memory of who, what etc you did in the last hour of your quick night out!!!

 

[Bret H]

Ah yes! Riders! Appropriately named one thinks!

They don't lock you in, just put the local thug on the door to keep the Police out.

 

[jonathan st.thomas]

errrrm.......sorry about that mate.....I'll do my best to rectify that real soon

 

[Madeleine Z]

"Lock-in's"...55555:

Great little piece there Denpah.

Brought in memories of a couple a' "lock-in's" I experienced in Hua Hin. Shutters pulled down and all normal and loud sanuk. Then the police roll by...music turned down and lights dimmed, then soon back to full throttle.

Makes you feel like a kid again, you know, gett'n away with it. 5555 :

(Never done one in Patong, never spent a night in Kamalalalala...now on my list)

 

[Wicked Awsome]

What size is it? Swap you for my 'The Pub' t-shirt in a medium which must have given them a laugh when I put that on in the bar!

Vaguely seem to remember it raining...........that must have been it!

Some of the best nights are the ones following the words......."Not been to Sabai Sabai for a while!.....Want another one?"

That was you singing in my post by the way.........not me.

 

[Purple Drank Forever]

My treat young man......Think I've got a spare 1K note stashed away somewhere!

They have a Elvis CD at Apple Tree and lock-in's a plenty!

Life is good! 55555i

 

[MaDaM]

Didn't this used to be a Ladyboy Bar?

 

[Raphael]

I was there last night. Great evening, cheap beer & nice friendly girls. Definately worth a look.
