The pub’s Pattaya timeline

Shenanigans Irish Pub first operated around the Marriott and Royal Garden area. In 2007 it moved across Pattaya Second Road to Unit D201 at The Avenue Pattaya, 399/9 Moo 10. That move is documented in a contemporary Pattaya Mail archive.

The verified closure

A specialist Pattaya bar chronology records that the Avenue branch closed in February 2013. That dated evidence is why this page no longer presents old hours, prices, ratings or contact details as current. The former address remains useful for understanding the pub’s history, but it is not an operating venue.

The record also documents a separate Jomtien branch that later became Hemingway’s. That lineage belongs to the Jomtien location; it does not mean Hemingway’s replaced the central branch at The Avenue.

The same chronology said the vacated Avenue unit was set to become The Acorn, described there as a family pub. Because the record states a plan rather than a verified opening, this page does not present The Acorn as a confirmed successor.

What replaced it

The verified record does not name a successor to Shenanigans at Unit D201 in The Avenue. No replacement is inferred here. The documented outcome is that the central branch closed in February 2013, while the separately located Jomtien branch followed its own later history.

Central and Jomtien were separate

The 2007 Pattaya Mail item documents the central pub’s move across Second Road into The Avenue. The later chronology records that Avenue operation closing in February 2013 and discusses the Jomtien branch on its own timeline. This is why a reference to Hemingway’s in Jomtien cannot identify the next tenant of Unit D201. The only sourced proposal for the vacated central unit is The Acorn, and the record does not confirm that it opened.

More nightlife

Craft Cottage Pattaya

Craft Cottage Pattaya is the craft-beer specialist of the LK Metro entertainment soi, just off Soi Buakhao in central Pattaya — a deliberately cosy, European-cottage-styled bar that stands out from the neon around it. The draw is the beer list: rotating craft taps plus a fridge of Thai and imported bottles and cans, poured by staff who genuinely know the stock and will steer you to something you'll like. There's a proper open-fronted bar for people-watching LK Metro's evening parade, comfortable seating inside, and a kitchen doing decent Thai and Western plates and bar snacks — it works as an early-evening dinner stop before the soi gets loud. Be ready for craft pricing: pints and cans run well above the 70-baht bar-beer norm nearby, which is standard for craft beer in Thailand but still stings some visitors. Recent reviews are more mixed than in its early years — some regulars say the tap selection has thinned since the pandemic and pours can be inconsistent on slow nights — so beer hunters should check what's actually on tap when they sit down. It opens late afternoon (listings show 16:00–17:00) and runs to around 01:00 daily. A relaxed, conversation-friendly counterpoint to LK Metro's go-gos and sports bars.

Pleng Wan

Pleng Wan is a Thai pub-and-restaurant at Welcome Town off Pattaya Klang in Central Pattaya. Wongnai describes it as a Thai-food pub/bar with live music, while AutoReserve lists the same venue at 47/91 Moo 9 and accepts reservation requests. Published contact and operating details differ between listings, so use the address as the dependable planning detail and confirm the rest before leaving.

F & B

F & B is the restaurant-and-bar element of FnB hotel on Pattaya Second Road. Booking listings describe local and international food, a coffee shop and a bar/lounge, while the imported cuisine labels should be treated as broad categories rather than a current menu.
