THE STANDING DEALS
THE BACKYARD BAR
Sixty-baht local beers and house spirits with no cutoff hour, free pool table — and killer pool Thursdays.
VICKY'S SECRET
One price on customer drinks — a flat 100 baht in a Walking Street-side show bar. No menu mathematics.
SOI BUAKHAO PLOTS
The open-air bar plots run the city's lowest baseline — draft 60–90 baht all night, happy hours dipping to 55. The cheapest zone in town, full stop.
TIKI BAR
Rotating daily drink promos, free pool and chilled tunes on the Honey–Buakhao corner.
JACKASS BAR
The former Jenni Bar runs happy-hour-first pricing as its whole identity.

THE WINDOWS, BY THE CLOCK
14:00
THE DAY SHIFT OPENS
On the Darkside, Kiss X runs buy-one-get-one beer 14:00–17:00. In town, Bar Se7en on Soi 7 holds beers at 70–80 baht — until 18:00 only.
18:00
THE 18–20 WAVE
The classic window opens across town: AK Lounge does 60-baht local beers and whisky, Panorama Pub runs its terrace happy hour over BoyzTown. Two hours. Use them.
19:00
THE SHOWBAR HOUR
Pin-Up's happy-hour draft runs 19:00–20:00 — the flagship show room at beer-bar prices for exactly sixty minutes.
20:00
THE 20:00 CLIFF
The big cutoff: Kubla's 49-baht draft and 55-baht bottles end, Lush's 60-baht beers end. Kubla pivots to beer buckets from 259. On LK, Showgirls opens its 65-baht draft promo, 20:00–22:00.
22:00
THE CLUB WINDOW
Insomnia — free entry, biggest room on the strip — cuts drinks 50% from 22:00 to midnight. The best-value two hours on Walking Street.
00:00
FULL PRICE TERRITORY
Windows shut everywhere. From here the math is zone-based: Buakhao's 60–90 draft baseline holds all night, Walking Street club beers run 180–280, and Paradise on LK keeps house spirits friendly.
// HOW TO PLAY IT
DEAL RULES
№ 01
The 20:00 cliff is real
Most windows die at 20:00 sharp. Front-load the cheap hours — start at 18:00, not 21:00, and the same night costs half.
№ 02
Deals mean local, not import
Happy-hour pricing is on local bottles, draft and house spirits. Imports and cocktails usually sit at full price — ask which menu the deal covers.
№ 03
Hostess drinks run their own menu
Drinks you buy for staff are a separate, higher menu everywhere — that's the business model, not a scam. Check the price before you wave the order in.
№ 04
Free pool is part of the math
Backyard, Shooters and Tiki all run free tables — a 60-baht beer plus a free table beats a 60-baht beer alone. Friday at AK Lounge, the pizza is free too (20:00–23:00).

What time is happy hour in Pattaya?
