What do you look for in a bar

[Guess]

My missus has occasionally bought lemons at a market on the outskirts of town. Only once in a blue moon though.

If the blue moon rises again get me a kilo and see if you can get the missus to find out where the supplier is.

Back on topic,

There has been much comment on what people like in bar.

I have always used to negative approach and avoid bars that have things that I do not like. For me many of these have been mentioned already. Mainstream music (Hotel California and up to date) are a definite no no as are cheap techno like Hot Hitz Vol 4 etc. Dirty toilets (now that would be a good name for a band) are also a put off.

Another thing that is a big put off for me is people. There are some characters around town that, if I see in a bar I will not enter. Unfortunately there numbers are growing here in Hua Hin.

Does this mean that the centre of town could potentially become a no-go area for you?
Personally, if I want to enter a bar, I do. The fact that there is someone in there who I don't particularly like for whatever reason dosn't put me off.
After all, there are probably others to talk to anyway.
The only time it would affect my decision is if I didn't like the bar owner. Then there's no reason to patronise his place. Fortunately, these are very few and far between for me.

I pretty much agree with this. Since I don't really get out often anyway there are not many people in town that would put me off entering an establishment however there are one or two owners that do.

Also service is a big factor, if I get looked after I tip well, reccommend and return. If I get ignored, ripped off or rubbed up the wrong way (no pun intended ) its quite the opposite.

For me a bar is to meet people and relax. Cleanliness is imporatnt but I go for atmosphere and ambience. Music is fine in the background and can add to the atmosphere but that is not why I would go to a bar. Need to have friendly bar staff to make you feel welcome. As long as the bar is clean and the people friendly I am not too fussy really!

Music to my taste (no techno/disco), fair prices, COLD beer, friendly but not pushy girls, comfortable seating, friendly customers

[Norseman]

Totally agree with you Knocker, but in addition to that I also want a pooltable.
The atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff is my no. 1 goal.

I believe that, in some strange way, that I'm very loyal to "my" bars.
Some time ago I was a frequent visitor in the Mao Mao bar.
Then the bar closed due to renovation because of a change in the ownership, which sent me out looking for a "new" bar.
I found what I was looking for in the P&P bar, and there I go from time to time, and enjoy myself.

I am sorry Lomu, but what a strange comment.

Bars that have the sort of people that I do not like are few and far between. Maybe I should have been more expressive in my comment. What I do not like is violent, aggressive and boring people.

Boring I can deal with.

Violence and aggression I can not.

The centre of town????

Where is that then???

A good bar is where you can bring your kids, without being looked up as a bad parent when having a beer.

and a nice pool table as well important for the kids

Good to hear Steve.
With your positive attitude you'll have no problem finding a bar with the sort of attractions and atmosphere you like.
Have a great time in HH, report your observations and keep on posting .

[TrueorFalse]

Decent people and friendly people.

Most of the bars heve the same theme though, Pool and Hookers.

Any private clubs where you can have what you want when you want?

I agree this 100%.

Bar where is friendly bar staff and customer is my first motive when I choose bar where to I going. If you get good service someplace bar it's probably you back to same bar again.
