Now under a new name: El Toro. The place was closed down for 5 months or so and have now been opened for 4 or so months. It's history has not been encouraging. I've lived on Soi 80 ('The Nice Side' :roll: ) for 10 years now and this place has had at least 3 names and/or new owners. I have no idea whether the same owners renovated, or whether it's under new ownership. I suspect the latter.
Every owner of this space has tried hard: lots of expensive-looking renos, a few have had live music, a decent looking menu.
El Toro has a pool table (which seems to be used mostly by staff) and as I walk past so many times at different hours I rarely see a customer, or if they do have a few customers the numbers are assuredly not enough to carry on with for an overly long time unless there are Deep Pockets hanging around. At least right now.

I assume that the problem lies in the fact that they are not a Lady Bar. Soi 80 is a 90% Lady Bar place and the whole ambiance on the street says it all. One would think that a pure restaurant-with-music might well be successful if for nothing else might act as a kind of recuperation spot for 60-yr old gents looking to get out ~ for a half hour or so ~ of the hubbub and The Hunt.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
As an aside regarding Soi 80 in general: I mentioned above that we've lived on Soi 80 for 10 years. In that time frame the number of bars along the street have gone from 'about' 15-20 in 2007 to 'about' 50 now as of June 2017.
In 2007 there were lots of townhouses that were strictly live-in ... probably in the 20's or 30 range (not scientific ... just my memory guesstimate). Now ~ I counted this not long ago ~ there are 3. I'm not including the north side, there are still lots of quite large, and rich, homes there. But on the south side, almost none.
Just one more reason why I love living in Thailand ...

This place: Garden / El Toro and many other names in the past has never been successful. In short it's a cursed place.

Are there maps for other Soi? For Massage Parlours (color coded so I know which ones to avoid when I take my wife and daughter out for a spa day)?

There is a soi 94 map : viewtopic.php?f=1&t=25858&start=130

And a Bintabaht map : viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5495&start=212

Sorry, only bars and restaurants included, there are far too many massage places to list.

• Old Germany has replaced Ohma Bar
• The Garden has closed
• For You Bar has replaced Golden Bar
• MB Bar has replaced JJ Sports Bar
• Bon Appetit Pizza has replaced Cowboy Café
• Laila Food and Drink has moved from the 2nd Road to the 1st Road
• Harley Bar has replaced Miss You
• Diamond Bar has replaced The Cross Eyed Duck
• Easy Bar 2 is new
• Viking Bar has replaced Poppula Bar
• Come In Bar has replaced Pussy Cat Bar

• Ma Di Bar is new
• Airport Bar has gone

This check was done between 9 and 9:30 this morning, so maybe some signage was not visible. We need your help to identify errors and omissions. The listing will be passed to our cartographer on Sunday evening.

Laila Food and Drink has replaced Miss You Bar which still has Chopper bar Sign on the second floor. Laila is renovating and trying to get the landlord to pay the 20,000 elec bill that the previous tenants left. She still has the guesthouse in the back soi.

Chopper Bar is what I called Harley Bar. Are you saying that the entire bit is now Laila Food and Drink? The signage indicates 2 establishments, but there is also signage up for Dicks Office, which closed years ago.

All Laila's. Upstairs are four empty rooms and a bathroom on the rear landing. Chopper/Harley bar will come down shortly (Thai time)
