July is half way through the low season in Pattaya. We use this quieter time to fix up our venues, better train our staff and try out crazy new ideas. Some ideas work, some don't, and the ones that work get rolled out across the other bars (where it makes sense).
In addition to improving our existing bars we've been progressing with our renovations at the Suki Restaurant as well as Maggie Mays Darkside. The schedule has also changed slightly and we may well open the new Maggies Darkside before the restaurant instead of the other way around like originally planned. We just love Gents Clubs too much!
There's plenty more that we have been up to as well so read on to find out more... Don't forget, you can follow our progress in real time if you are in our Discord Server "Pattaya Mongers"
What's New
All of our Gents Clubs have a draft lager available. It's usually Tiger, with the exception of Maggie Mays Pattaya which has Asahi. Now we have a third option, 3 Ways now has Peroni draft installed! Arguably one of the best draft beers available in Pattaya!
We're selling it for 199 baht per pint and 120 baht for the smaller 300ml glass but there are going to be some promotions like our Peroni beer card that make it cheaper. Look out for those later in the newsletter.
Continuing on with 3 Ways, our newest club, we are going to launch an all you can eat buffet with a Mexican theme.
The Mexican all you can eat buffet starts on Tuesday 6th August at 3 Ways and will be a weekly event, every Tuesday from 4pm until 8pm. It's 249b per person or if you spend over 699b on your bin it's free!
See the available food items on the poster below. The chilli con carne is going to be extra special and made in house, just like our other successful food promotions like the lasagne at Camel Toe and beef brisket at Catflaps.
Since we are about to operate 9 different locations in Pattaya (once Saneha and Maggie Mays Darkside open), we wanted to make sure people didn't get lost or confused as to where each venue is located, so we came up with a map!
This map is soon to framed and hung in all of our bars. Check out a preview below.
Renovations
As mentioned at the beginning of the newsletter Maggie Mays Darkside may open before our Suki restaurant. We are quite proficient at Gents Clubs now so we don't mind opening early and tweaking things as we go. Whereas with the restaurant we would like to spend more time making everything as perfect as possible before opening.
Our latest renovation videos are below.
There are some great plans for Maggie Mays on the Darkside. Naturally, it will be a Gents Club first and foremost but we have also had other ideas since we have a lot of space and also a huge community of expats.
One idea was to include a weekly auction where people can come and sell their old unwanted items or get a great deal on something somebody else no longer wants. Since we have quite a lot of secure storage, we can accept people's items during the week and then auction them off each Sunday. The details are still to be ironed out but this gives you the general idea.
Another idea, since Maggie Mays Darkside is quite an old style building, was to include a lot of antiques in the decor as well as a library of books for people to buy or borrow. We may also buy and trade books too.
These ideas are relatively short term and we'll attempt them very shortly after opening. They may persist forever if they work.
However, the longer term vision, once we have had the gents club open long enough to gain some regulars is to fence off the garden, install a huge swimming pool wrapped around an outside bar and then start running pool parties. We hope to get there step by step.
The plan for the Suki restaurant now is to finish the last bits of building work and then start working on the artistic aspects of the decor. Special lighting, murals, lasers, backdrops and stage equipment all need to be tastefully designed and applied to create a an environment that can take patrons seamlessly from dining to dancing when the lights go down and the band gets up. We want to make it beyond beautiful so that girls get addicted to coming.
New Specials
With the launch of the Peroni draft in 3 Ways we needed some specials to go along with it. Just like the Maggie Mays has a Guinness Card, 3 Ways now has a Peroni Card.
Buy 10 pints up front and get a 30 baht discount per pint. Each pint works out to 169b which is the cheapest you will find Peroni in Pattaya. That's 300 baht total discount just by getting the card!
If you don't feel like buying a beer card you can still get a cheap 169b pint of Peroni by ordering some food. With any order from our snack menu at 3 Ways you can add a pint of Peroni draft for just 169 baht. Again, saving 30 baht off the usual price.
If you have had enough Peroni at 3 Ways then Camel Toe just down the road has some great new specials on Tiger draft. Ask the staff at 3 Ways or Camel Toe about the free taxi between both clubs.
You can get a pint of Tiger draft lager for just 95 baht! (it's usually 120b a pint). Or a small 300ml glass for just 55 baht. If you're feeling hungry then get a pint of Tiger draft with a homemade beef lasagne and chips for just 199b!
Bar Crawls
We're still doing bar crawl every day of the week except Sunday. Check the full schedule here. We have now added a beer card raffle to all of the free bar crawls.
Everyone who attends the bar crawl receives a raffle ticket and when we get to Club Fate, which is always the last bar on the crawl, we draw a winner. The winner receives a Gold Beer Card which is valid at all of our Gents Clubs and allows you to get any 10 bottled beers for free. See full details below.
Videos
A couple of videos from our clubs that came out in July. Trevor from Buzzin Pattaya interviewed Dez from Club Fate and Welshboywebby showed us inside CatFlaps Gents Club in Pratumnak.
Thanks for Reading
I hope the newsletter has given you a good idea of what we have done this month and what we are planning for the future. I've just got some sample pictures in from some photoshoots we just did a couple of days ago in the bars. I'll share one from each, can you guess which is which?
The rest will be published on our Gents Clubs Facebook Page so be sure to click and like us there.
