About this place The Balcony

This gay bar in Bangkok's Silom neighborhood is a relaxed spot for a drink and some people-watching. It has an outdoor patio, good for a warm evening, and karaoke if you're feeling brave. It's also known for being cheap, making it a good first stop before you head to one of the area's other bars. You'll find it on Soi Silom 14, right in the middle of Bangkok's main gay nightlife strip. It sits across from similar places, so the whole street feels like part of the scene, with plenty of action to watch as the night goes on. The vibe is friendly and easygoing, no matter if it's your first time in Bangkok or your hundredth. If you're looking to check out Bangkok's LGBTQ+ scene, this is a solid, casual option. You'll see a mix of tourists and locals, all pretty relaxed, giving you space to hang out, talk to someone new, and figure out your next move.

Tired old premises in 25 years of visiting bangkok they have never spent any money on maintenance or up keep. Example I saw piece of gum in the toilet 3 weeks later still there.

It's more about the immediate locale than this bar. It's inevitable that one would walk along the main road, under the sky train station before getting inside this lane way, where I found a few groups of big fat rats under the tree eating, playing and virtually shagging as if they were protected animals. Merchants around appeared to be pretty unconcerned. This happened 2 nights on the road for me so it must have been happening daily. With the fear of prevalent Hantavirus scare, it's pretty off putting to say the least to eat and drink in this area. I hope the merchants around should ban together to compel the local government to do something before something bad (business?) happened to this area and Bangkok generally.

Ryan and Nine and John are 3 of the nicest and friendliest bartenders I've met in a long time. Had a great time talking with them. They made very good drinks. The food was good. I highly recommend this place.
