A "theatre restaurant"? We can enjoy a meal while a naked boy waves his lunch in our face?

I gather some Soi 4 bar owners are proposing a “lipstick on a pig exercise”, offering rapid tests that unvaxxed customers can pay for prior to entering the Soi. As it takes, I understand, up to half an hour for the result that’s 30 minutes for someone to spread COVID before they get their results - or is there to be a “waiting pen”? Since a vaccination is only of benefit to the person who’s been vaccinated by reducing their risk of severe illness, but of lesser benefit to any of their companions, I suspect this is really just a PR exercise by the bar owners than something of substantial benefit to the punters.

The safest place to eat and drink - if you must go - is the outdoor seating at any of the bars. Don’t venture inside except for the lavatory.

A friend tells me that in his opinion it’s less “gay” than “gay-friendly” (code for “old queens should avoid”)

Circus is busy every night with 80% Gay and Lesbian customers. I don't know how it could be any more Gay Friendly. Some people seem stuck in the past and simply don't like change.

And there you have it - lesbians! Women of any stripe have no place in a gay bar. Gay bars are for men who love cock

If U read through the original post it is noted that as part of the sale of Telephone Bar the seller kept the right to use the name Telephone which makes one think perhaps he will use that name for a new bar.

Telephone Pub Co. Ltd had no lease on the building. The lease was held by another holding company. As such the legal process for winding up Telephone Pub co. ltd. could take years. No point waiting for that outcome. Holding company simply provided a new sub lease to Pride. Pride in exchange for paying the debits of the Holding company took major shareholder status in the holding company.

As such legally the name "Telephone Pub" is not available. The only way to save the venue and reopen this location was with a rebrand.

Get with the times - it's for the gays so at the very least it would have to be "i"phone bar ! :-) Or if aiming it at younger thai boys I guess it would have ben been (I need a) NEW phone Bar ! :-) Actually perhaps there's a new business angle, older faring brought along to the bar by their young Thai friends so they can get them their new phones to save a trip to Tuk Com ! lol
