A bar owner informed me last night that rents for the larger bars are around 80,000 baht each month plus add ons. Double Shot will be re-opening soon with the new owners rejecting their initial thinking of buying BC Bar. Double Shot is in much better condition with little work to be done although the Complex did remove all the refrigerators and fittings last week. Divarium bar was closed and locked up two days ago.
The smaller bars like Sunee Intimate and Meeting Place are doing well with much lower rents and promotions at Sunee Bar with their happy hour which is very popular and well attended. Maybe the larger bars need to be more pro-active with promotions and entertainment to encourage more customers.
