A small gay bar outside the Complex
Bamboo’s Gay Bar sits at 410/35 Thappraya Road, closer to the Dongtan Beach side of Jomtien than to the enclosed lanes of Jomtien Complex. It is a compact, open-front drinking bar rather than a cabaret, dance club or polished cocktail room. The practical appeal is an easy seat, ordinary bottled beer and music at a level recent visitors found comfortable enough for conversation.
Current Restaurant Guru hours are 10:00 to midnight every day. Travel Gay and some older directory data show later closing, so midnight is the safer planning point; call +66 38 232 315 if you intend to arrive late. The long daytime schedule makes it more useful for a post-beach drink than many venues that wait until early evening to open.
A real price signal, not a full menu
A recent visitor reports THB 80 for a bottle of Chang, one of the clearest current drink examples in this part of the batch. Restaurant Guru also places ordinary spending in a broad low band, but there is no complete itemised menu. Beer, wine, cocktails and spirits are listed, and dine-in service appears in current profiles. Do not assume that means a full kitchen is always running; ask what food is available before relying on lunch or dinner.
The room is best approached as a straightforward neighborhood bar. There is no supported craft-beer list, elaborate cocktail programme or dependable live-entertainment calendar. Older aggregators mention pool, karaoke and darts, but the present evidence is not strong enough to promise those on a particular visit.
Friendly regulars, with mixed service accounts
Several recent comments praise the owner, staff, relaxed music and location near the beach. The negative accounts are specific: some visitors felt pressured to buy staff drinks, encountered sarcasm after refusing or found the room unengaging on a quiet night. Those experiences conflict rather than forming one universal verdict. Set expectations at the start, decline unwanted orders clearly and check the bill before leaving.
Choose the bar for a low-cost afternoon beer, a casual stop after Dongtan or an easy conversation in a gay-friendly setting. Skip it if you want a large crowd, scheduled show or service style insulated from companion-drink requests. The current THB 80 example and long hours make it practical; the small room and variable staff interaction keep it from being a guaranteed destination night.
