Something to note about Thonglor Yokocho that I should have mentioned due to trying (but failing) not to ramble so much in my posts here and leaving out important details as a result is that the izakaya opens properly at 17.00. Prior to 17.00 the attached curry shop is open, that's also good as are the beers but my recommendation would be to get there at 17.00 when the bar opens in the arena around the curry shop. That's when the happy hour begins runs, until 19.00. It's very popular then, especially with the drinks going so cheaply at happy hour.  I hope you guys go there and have fun. You might even spot me amongst a mountain of food and drinks.   Extra points for anyone who gets lucky with the girls working there BTW, I think they're lovely. A friend of mine managed that once which won a bet between us meaning that I paid his tabs there for a while. Luckily for me he screwed up by getting overconfident and trying it with a second waitress soon after. Now he can't go back there for a while and my debt is paid.

Never been to Yokocho either and I eat in Izakayas almost daily when in Asia. I'll defo try it out, thx!

I've been a big fan of Beer Republic for a few years now and without hopefully sounding too snobbish they usually have good crowd in there both inside and outside. The live bands that play aren't the best but it still all adds up to a fun evening or somewhere to get the party started at least. Thonglor Yakocha looks great and can't believe I've not yet been there but it's a definite must try on the next visit so many thanks for the heads up.

Stayed there in September and loved the location…just booked again for late November. I always book club level and this time I am going to use the services and the pool.

Thonglor Yokocho - that's cute - Yokocho is a 'side street' in Japanese - there are a few famous Yokochos in Tokyo lined with yakitori joints like Omeido Yokocho next to Shinjuku Train station. My favourite izakayas in Bangkok - Yuna on Soi 11/1 and Kakurega Shizuku on Soi 24. Both have Thai staff who speak Japanese. The one on Soi 24 is very traditional and frequented by many Japanese expats. I don't think either have an associated blowjob bar but further down Soi 24 is the little yokocho - Soi 24/1 which is lined with massage joints where you can get a blowjob!
