Do people even go to Sharkies anymore? Last time I went (a few months ago, been there once in the past 2 years) the crowd was comprised of 65% western females (of which 57% were expats, the remainder tourists) and 35% middle-aged musicians. No more grizzled old prowlers which made the place an interesting people-watching venue. Oh, and onion rings are no longer on the menu so I've got no reason to go there anymore. Forgot to check if they still had the fish tacos though... Hmmmmm. Anyone?

That is right a very popular name. They said their Cambod was a tall,handsome gentleman and um well equipped. Obviously mistaken identity. What confirmed it was when, they said their Cambod left a big tip. Knew then immediately it couldnt be our Cambod.

Nice one.
I had the fish tacos just a couple of weeks ago so I am sure they are still available today

last time I went here some 60 year old rockers played cover songs and a few weirdos danced in front of them and then after their set the singer kept yelling "WOODSTOCK LIVES" over and over
I don't think I'll go back

Stick to Justin Bieber, K-Pop and Pontoon, wanker. As for the other dork, if your idea of social company is Pattaya trash and other assorted braindead sexpats, Walkabout and Martini are still on offer.
Sharky has moved in the right direction and if it wasn't commercially viable, they would have gone back to basics.

I heard they are making a mint nowadays out of the geriatric punker crowd. Well good luck to them I say.

I'd say Sharky's is on the right track, mostly because they've actually actively rebranded themselves. It's just that the place used to have a few rough edges, which I liked. I could go sit there, eat some decent food, people-watch and occasionally listen to some unpretentious live music. Felt like a real bar in the way it was set up and operated. Now it's also really busy which makes me avoid it further (I hate crowds), though business is obviously going quite well.
Freebird is one bar I've always wondered about. I'm a regular patron there but I find them a bit perplexing. Who exactly is their target clientele now? They seem to want to be an Applebee's of sorts, fun for the whole family (and they say so). But then they also have this sort of "Military Mess" thing going on with all those badges and pictures up on the far wall. But it's too clean cut to be a mess and though you see Marines from the embassy now and then, it can't pretend to be that type of place. I mean you can't be both Applebee's and a Tavern-type mess. So one section has gallery-type pictures (towards the entrance) while the back has a whole bunch of military memorabilia. But I think they've been around long enough (and have a good location and good connections with the Embassy) that it doesn't really matter what they do, they can keep sailing on as it's a good bar overall.They've also done a good job at attracting western women (as Sharky's has recently) with specials as I would say women make up approximately 40-60% of the customers on any given night.

I feel they have changed tracks completely. Had fun there, so no complaints.
Another plus. Better to have them in only a few venues around town, as opposed to spread out all the place. Less stops to make.Felgerkarb wrote:..., and freelancers still around...not like before but he'll, other venues for that.
