A familiar name at the Central Road end
Big Daddy Bar is one of the older names around the northern end of Soi Buakhao. Pattaya Gogos says the site became Big Daddy Bar in early 2014 after Smugglers moved further down the soi. The current online identity is the bar’s Facebook page, while the listed address is 341/38 Central Pattaya Road.
What is worth checking first
The sources checked on 28 July 2026 do not provide a dependable current opening schedule, menu or drinks list. That is normal enough for a small Pattaya bar, but it means the Facebook page is the sensible first check if the visit depends on a particular time. The old history does not establish today’s hours.
Honest recommendation
Choose Big Daddy Bar as a straightforward stop when you are already walking the Central Road end of Soi Buakhao. Its long-running identity is a better reason to try it than a blind search for a specific deal. Skip it if a published menu, fixed live-sport schedule or polished cocktail-bar setting is the priority.
