Scooter's Bar Soi Buakhao

The soul-and-scooter stop on Soi Buakhao

Scooter’s Bar Soi Buakhao is an open, informal drinking bar with a much clearer identity than the average roadside beer stop. Mod graphics and scooter memorabilia set the look; soul, Northern Soul, ska and Motown shape the soundtrack.

That music is the best reason to visit. It suits travellers who want recognisable records and conversation rather than a dance club, sports wall or hostess-led evening. The room is casual enough for one drink, while the central Soi Buakhao position makes it easy to include in a longer bar walk.

Pattaya has more than one venue using the Scooter’s name. This guide covers the branch at WVJP+49M on Soi Buakhao. The brand maintains a second Pattaya branch, reinforcing the need to check the meeting point before settling in there for the whole evening. If arranging a ride or meeting friends, send the address rather than the brand alone.

What the evening beer offer covers

Current venue material advertises bottled beer from THB 65, starting at 19:30 and continuing until closing. That is a useful real price, but it is not a promise that every brand costs the same. Imported bottles, spirits, mixers and special products may be higher, so read the board before ordering.

Heineken 0.0 is also promoted, giving non-drinkers a clear alternative. A full itemised menu is not public. Food is not documented well enough to plan a meal here; eat first if dinner matters.

The venue is commonly described as opening from around midday and running late, but there is no reliable official schedule for every day. Call +66 64 523 0415 before an early-afternoon stop or a very late journey. The evening promotion confirms service after 19:30 more clearly than it confirms a precise closing hour.

A bar chosen for its soundtrack

Come for the music theme, modest evening bottle promotion and easy central location. The open-front format works well for people-watching, though it also means road noise and heat are part of the experience. This is recorded music rather than a guaranteed live performance schedule.

Visitors who need cocktails with published recipes, a serious food menu or precise all-week hours should choose somewhere with more formal information. For a relaxed beer accompanied by soul and ska, however, the branch has a distinctive reason to stop rather than merely duplicating the surrounding bars.
