New Buffalo Bar

About

New Buffalo Bar is a small South Pattaya expat bar associated with the long-standing “Buffalo Bar” name on Soi Vinai, off Pattaya’s Third Road near Pattaya City Hospital. In its day it was a straightforward air-conditioned beer bar — karaoke, cheap drinks, a mainly foreign regular crowd — rather than a club or live-music venue.

Status

We can’t confirm it currently trades under this name. The signals conflict: listings are old and barely visited, some reviews say it’s become very quiet, older posts mention the premises being up for lease, and the same address now also shows up under a different, Mexican-themed name (“3Bz Burritoz Casa De Buffalo Bar”). Taken together, that points to a site that may have changed hands or format. This record therefore treats the venue as unverified. If you want to visit, check its latest Facebook posts or call ahead first.

Details

• Historical address: 46/30 Moo 9, Soi Vinai, Pattaya Third Road, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung, Chon Buri 20150
• Type: Small expat beer bar (historically karaoke and cheap drinks)
• Status: Unconfirmed — verify before visiting

SoiDB classified the older Buffalo Bar record as a nightclub with a coyote subtype and last updated that entry on 1 August 2010. That old classification conflicts with later beer-bar descriptions, so it is preserved as historical evidence rather than a current category.

The same archive gives the Thai name บัฟฟาโล บาร์ and the exact historical address as 46/30 Moo 9, Soi Vinai, Pattaya Third Road. It shows both the record’s creation and update on 1 August 2010 and supplies neither hours nor a telephone number. Those fields support the old identity and location, not present-day operation.

Good to know

This is an inland bar district, not a beachfront one, and it’s within easy reach of Soi Buakhao — so if New Buffalo Bar turns out to be closed or changed, there are dozens of established expat bars a short walk away for a relaxed drink.
