Yes, Grumpy sold up and now runs the Green Onion Hua Hin. Grumpy's is now called Sen. No longe a sports bar. You're lucky if you can see one TV with sports on.

The BBQ there didn't impress and we were disappointed. Dry, bland and too salty. There's a reason why customers didn't line up for that small place, even if they had some interesting beers. However, reading the FB page it looks like it changed ownership in January? If so, I hope they can turn the place around. After the last fiasco, I can't convince anyone to eat there with me. Although, now that they have added Thai food, maybe I can bribe one of my friends to go next time we are in HH town. |

Alwyas found the food at Crossbar and then Grumpy's OK, so I'm guessing some of the menu would be similar. The Thai stuff was OK too. Used to take the kids to Crossbar then Grumpy's on Saturday night for dinner with the Mrs, while I watched football, and there was enough to keep everyone happy. Mrs and the kids would go home - often with Thai takeaway for Sunday lunch too - so I could watch more football and continue drinking  |

My ploblem isnt going into the city, its coming back, flip flop wearing taxi drivers who refuse to use their meter and quote outrageous prices,lazy bastids would rather sleep all day and rip off some mug for 1000 baht to go to the airport than get off their sorry ass and work for a living. I used to book a flop house in the city if going on the p**s, these cant be assed, nothing there for me these days, somchai and his fleet of taxis blocking off lower suk, I avoided them and got the bts to Pra Khanong or On Nut then got a taxi home, these days I just go on the p**s elsewhere. |

Fletch, you wouldnt recognise the place now, its had what I believe they call "a makeover" in the hospitality industry, never mind, sells beer at prices that wont hurt your pocket. I went to the opening. Not been back since though. Seemed OK - just no longer a sports bar. I used to like following several games/events at once on different screens. Now could only see one from most seats.
Sen, the lady who runs/owns it is Vietnamese, with a foreign husband (UK if I recall). They said they were targeting more Thais. As you say they'd also put prices down.
Live band also put me off.
Might drop by again some time. Give us a shout if you're in  |

Not been drinking in BKK for a while. Last time when Smokie was here.
Any suggestions for Sri Nakarin? |

I despise going into the city. Coming back is always the worst. Coming back is so bad I think about it when I am on my way, and it ruins my entire trip. I go into the city once every month or so if I have to. I am curious about the Sri Nakarin joints too, that area I do enjoy. |

^^^ , the only thing you need to know is, it says beer buffet, 299 baht, tues wed and thurs. As you know sri nakarin is a long road, I am more familair with the Bang Kapi end, not out in the boonies where you live end, . Flip is a nightclub I enjoy, again, a sexpat free zone. I tend to follow the acts and concerts that are advertised as oppossed to sticking to a few select bars clubs etc, the soi behind Ram hospital is another Thai area of bars I enjoy. |
