Bully's Pub has evolved over time from its original concept into more of a traditional pub atmosphere focused on draft beer and sports on TV. It is a large space that was recently renovated, removing a stage to add more seating. The pub draws a variety crowd and offers American-style food including Tex-Mex favorites, burgers, sandwiches and more that is prepared well. The well-trained staff keeps up with serving customers, especially on busy nights watching sporting events.

1. Bully's Pub started out as a different type of place from the one that it has gradually morphed into but now, under the leadership of co-owner Ed Thompson, it has much more of a pub atmosphere than it ever did, finally living up to its name. You'll find good draft beer, a wide-ranging menu overseen by Ed, a former five-star hotel executive chef, four pool tables, darts and plenty of sports on TV, which in Thailand means soccer ad nauseum. I shouldn't complain, however, because at least they do have American football here once a week during the season. This is a pretty good sized place and a recent renovation that repaced the band stage with booths has added even more seating capacity. That means no more live music but there's a huge library of recorded music here so that fills the void. On busy nights you'll find a large variety of customers from tourists to locals, serious pool players to people just looking for something to drink and a couple of beers. The food, by the way, is American-based with plenty of Tex-Mex stuff and standard American upscale chain-restaurant items that are usually quite well done. Try the fried fish sandwich or the fajitas, or the burgers for that matter. You'll also find onion rings, fried calamari, potato skins, nachos, quesadillas, fried shrimp and also steaks and chops among manyother items. And the food is good enough to come here just to eat. The staff are pretty well trained and service minded and they have to be because this place can get pretty busy especially if there's a big sporting event on the tube. All in all, it has a good atmosphere, good food and drinks and plenty of activities to keep you busy. Definitely worth a stop in. Sukhumvit Road, between Sois 2 & 4 02-656-4609 Open: 11 am/2 am
