barsSoi Buakhao, Central Pattaya
Rock Factory
Live rock every night, a rotating band roster, and a kitchen that holds up.
Editor's pick
Why we recommend it
The most consistent live music venue in Pattaya, with a nightly band rotation, tribute acts worth planning around, and food good enough to eat before the set.
Our review
A proper rock venue rather than a bar with a band in the corner. The roster rotates through the week and the standard is high, with tribute nights that draw their own crowds. You can sit on the street and watch the world go past or take a table near the stage for the show. The menu is fuller than the category suggests and the food is genuinely good, with draught options behind the bar. Many nights the band takes requests. Opens early evening and runs to the early hours.
Highlights
- Live bands nightly with a rotating roster
- Tribute acts worth planning around
- Full kitchen, food better than expected
- Street seating or stage-side
