In Pictures: Friday Night At Shenanigans
For the second visit in a row finding a seat at Bangkok’s newest Irish bar Shenanigans on Friday night wasn’t going to be easy as the outside terrace was full and the inside heaving when I arrived just before 9pm.
As I was meeting friends I was going to have to park myself with a couple of Thai ladies who’d stopped in to join the dozens of other expats, tourists and locals for some end of week beers – and yes, my new table mates were on the Guinness and Hoegaarden.
The photo above wasn’t what the ladies were drinking, they were on proper pints and not this crazy concoction.
A quick hello to the owners and a complimentary pint of Magners later my buddy James appeared with a whisky who was soon followed by a couple of the usual suspects.
More drinks ordered and the cameras were out and my main man was offski – there’s no stopping this guy.
A ten minute power outage delayed the start of the Rolling Stones cover band The Midnight Ramblers but when they got going it was party time.
Despite being packed, the staff were doing a grand job of keeping everyone fed and watered, all with a smile too.
I’d have quite happily stayed put but I had work that needed to be done so I headed off a couple of hours and a few drinks later singing some classic Stones song that was stuck in my head.
If you haven’t tried Shenanigans yet, you should.

Booze 21 – An Odd Little Bar On Asoke
Booze 21 is located on the same side of Asoke as Terminal 21 opposite the entrance to Soi Cowboy.
It’s an odd little bar sat all alone offering cheap beer and bad music.
Who it is aimed at is anyone’s guess.
