The current status

Drunken Duck’s operation cannot be confirmed from the available evidence. Local nightlife tracking says the bar had closed by February 2023, and a separate local article published later also frames it as closed. Against that, major accommodation platforms continue to display a Drunken Duck Guesthouse at the same address.

This is a genuine source conflict. The booking pages may represent a still-operating guesthouse, stale inventory, a renamed operation or a lodging business separate from the former bar. None of those explanations is established strongly enough to present the venue as open.

What can be matched confidently

The historical identity is a bar and guesthouse at 33/87-88 Soi LK Metro, in Central Pattaya. SoiDB preserves the exact venue name and address, while the accommodation listings use the same location and a telephone number.

That consistency helps identify the place, but identity is different from operational status. Directory shells and room pages can remain online after management, branding or availability changes.

What the old page got wrong

The previous version described a cosy British gastropub known for roasts, pies and a well-kept pint. It also called the Sunday roast famous. The research record does not substantiate those menu claims, so they have been removed.

It is still reasonable to classify the historical venue as a bar-restaurant for navigation, but that label should not be read as a current service promise. No verified opening hours, current menu or event schedule is available.

If you are considering a room booking

Contact the property through the booking channel and ask for explicit confirmation that the Soi LK Metro accommodation is accepting guests on your dates. Check cancellation terms before paying. A confirmation message is more useful than a search page that merely allows dates to be entered.

For the bar, treat the local closure reports as the stronger signal unless a current operator account announces otherwise. Do not travel specifically for food, a Sunday roast or an event based on the old page.

Why this page remains

People still encounter the Drunken Duck name in old nightlife guides and current-looking hotel results. Keeping a corrected page makes the conflict visible and reduces the risk of treating a booking shell in search results as proof that the original bar is trading.

Hemingways Bar & Grill

Hemingways Bar & Grill is a modern sports bar and grill in central Pattaya, on the corner of Soi 11 (Soi Honey) and Second Road, which opened in 2022 in the former Retox building. It's a big, fully air-conditioned room built for watching sport — around 25 screens showing football and other live events — paired with a broad menu of British and Western pub-grill food and Thai dishes, from full English breakfasts through burgers, grills and shareable plates. The setting is central and easy to reach, family-friendly by day, and it draws a mix of tourists and expats who want reliable comfort food, a big beer selection and a game on the screens. It's one of three Hemingways venues around Pattaya (the others in Jomtien and East Pattaya/Lakeside), so it's worth checking you're heading to the central Soi 11 branch rather than a sister site. Being a relatively new venue, it has fewer established reviews than some long-running rivals, and it's primarily a sports-and-drinks bar, so the ambience leans toward screens and social buzz rather than a quiet dinner; prices are described as reasonable-to-normal for central Pattaya pub food. Hemingways suits visitors who want air-conditioned comfort, live sport and a wide-ranging Western menu in a central location a short walk from the beach and Beach Road.

The Sportsman

The Sportsman is one of central Pattaya's best-known British pubs — a Soi 13 fixture off Beach Road that has been pouring pints and showing live sport since 1997. It's a proper English-style sports pub: big screens across the room for football, F1, rugby and boxing, a traditional pub atmosphere, and a menu built around British comfort food and all-day breakfasts, with Thai dishes alongside. Regulars come for the famous all-day breakfast, the Sunday carvery, the Thursday-night pub quiz and the sport, backed up by daily drinks promotions — think Heineken and Guinness pints at set prices and midweek burger-and-beer deals. It rates well: around 4.4/5 on Tripadvisor across a thousand-plus reviews and a Travellers' Choice regular, which for a Pattaya pub is a strong showing built on consistency rather than gimmicks. Prices sit in the mid band — this is honest pub grub and cold beer, not fine dining — and the atmosphere is social and can get busy and loud on big match days. The honest caveats are minor and specific: some recent reviews single out the burgers as inconsistent, and like any sports pub it lives and dies by the fixture list, so it's liveliest (and fullest) when there's a big game on. The Sportsman suits visitors who want a reliable English breakfast, live football with a pint, and a familiar pub feel a short walk from the beach.

The Pool of Siam

The Pool of Siam is a French restaurant, pizzeria, bar and swimming-pool complex on Siam Country Club Road. It serves French, Thai and Italian food with homemade pizza, desserts, drinks and sports screenings. Monday is closed, and current sources disagree whether service begins at 11:30 or noon.
