The vibe
Hemingways Bar & Grill is a modern sports bar and grill in the middle of central Pattaya — on the corner of Soi 11 (Soi Honey) and Second Road, in what used to be the Retox building. Opened in 2022, it’s a big, fully air-conditioned room built around the screens, drawing a mix of tourists and expats who want live sport, cold beer and familiar food without the heat.
What it’s known for
Sport and a broad Western menu. Around 25 screens show football and other live events, and the kitchen covers a lot of ground: British and Western grill dishes, burgers, full breakfasts and Thai food, backed by a wide beer selection. It’s family-friendly by day and turns livelier in the evenings and on match days.
Good to know
There are three Hemingways around Pattaya — this is the central Soi 11 branch, with sisters in Jomtien and East Pattaya, so double-check your destination. As a newer venue it has fewer established reviews than some long-running rivals, and it’s first and foremost a sports-and-drinks bar, so come for the screens and the buzz rather than a quiet dinner. Prices are reasonable for central Pattaya pub food. Menus and hours change, so confirm before you go.
Recorded facts, FAQs & qualifications
Full overview
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.
