Checked against Google on 9 September 2026
A courtyard on Soi Buakhao where the food stalls and the bars share tables, the music comes from a dozen speakers at once, and the pool game at Palm Beach Bar has been going, as far as anyone can tell, since the place opened. Every bar Google puts inside it, ranked, plus the four at the gate and the walk to us.

Tree Town from the Soi Buakhao pavement, stalls lit
8 PM
What it is
Tree Town sets up in the evening on Soi Buakhao. Small bars around a courtyard, food stalls between them, pool tables at most of the bars, staff who will talk to you, and a dozen playlists competing. Fun for an hour, wearing for three, and the right hour is the first one of the night.
Here is how to use it. Arrive at six or seven, while there is light. Eat from the stalls at a bar table. Play the killer-pool game at Palm Beach Bar, or watch it. Have one drink at Rock Station if the band is on. Then, before the twelve playlists become one headache, walk out onto Soi Buakhao, turn towards LK Metro, and let the lane deliver you to the hall on Soi Diana where the band starts at nine and the roof keeps the rain out.
We are that hall's last bar, beside the stage, and Tree Town is the warm-up we recommend to anyone asking where to start. It is not a rival. It is the first course.

Rock inside the Tree Town market with a pool table and a band that takes requests and, according to more than one reviewer, does not play the same tired set every night.

What reviewers mention most: band, musicians, song requests.
From KQ: Soi Buakhao north to Tree Town, five minutes.
The musicians that play here are amazing and don't seem to play the tired old tracks on repeat that some do in Pattaya.

At the gate
Beer Hubb's branch, which a reviewer places "right outside Treetown", and the three rock and reggae rooms within a minute of it on Soi Buakhao.
Live rock and heavy metal every night from 9 PM until 2:30 AM, in the bar's own words, with a house band, tribute nights (a Van Halen tribute in October 2025), requests for a tip, a kitchen, and a crowd that fills the room by eleven. Reviewers note there are no bar girls.
Of the 20 newest Google reviews, 17 give five stars; the newest is from July 2026.
What reviewers mention most: live music (175 reviews), house band, rock bar, friendly staff.
From KQ: Out to Soi Buakhao and turn right; three minutes.
The band is really good, you can also request a song with the donation of a small tip. The place gets really crowded as the night progresses.

Smashing place. Loved it. The vibe was impeccable. Friendly, loud rock music. Felt like home away from home. 10/10 would smash

The Tree Town branch: draught beers by the pint, a rooftop, an Indian kitchen and live music some nights, and calmer than the Beach Road original.

The original, open since 2017: reggae and ska with live singers, a Bob Marley wall, karaoke nights, and the same welcome as the LK Metro branch with a bigger room.

I really love this place. I go many times and like chilling there, always make me good mood. Relaxing atmosphere

The heavier room on Soi Buakhao: classic metal and hard rock from a band built around a guitarist reviewers name, an open front, and a sports pub with pool and air-conditioning at the back. Cash only.

It is a music club similar to the nearby Rock Factory, but has a stronger hard rock atmosphere.

When to go

Tree Town from the Soi Buakhao pavement, stalls lit
8 PM
The stalls are lit, the tables are empty, the light is still up. Eat.
The pool game starts at Palm Beach Bar. The speakers come up. The first drink.
Twelve playlists at once. Out onto Soi Buakhao, through LK Metro, and to the stage on Soi Diana. 400 m on foot, about 5 minutes from us.
Come in from Soi Buakhao at six, when the stalls at the edge of the courtyard have just lit their grills and the bars around it are still setting out stools. Tree Town is a market first: a courtyard of small open bars, food stalls on two sides, a pool table at most bars, and the sky above it, which in the cool months is the point and in April is the problem. At six you can hear yourself. By eight there are a dozen speakers going, each bar with its own, and the courtyard is a single noise with Rock Station's band underneath it from the back.
Eat first. The stalls do the Isaan food the staff eat, grilled chicken and som tam and sticky rice, and the bars are happy for you to bring a plate to a stool. Palm Beach Bar, the best-rated inside by Google, is the one with the most regulars and the pool table with a game already on. Emma's and 99 Bar 2 are the small ones with an owner behind the counter who has been there since before the trees were planted. French Kiss is the one with the name that tells you which kind of bar it is, and it is friendly about it.
Rock Station is the reason to stay past eight: a proper band in a bar the size of a living room, loud, tight, and the only live music inside the courtyard. It fills by nine. The rest of Tree Town is at its best from six to nine, and by ten the crowd that came for the food has gone and the crowd that came for the stools has arrived. That is the moment to walk out: east along Soi Buakhao, into LK Metro, sixty seconds, and out under the Las Vegas sign, where the band is on and the hall is at twenty degrees.
It is a beer bar complex that grew a market, or a market that grew bars, and nobody remembers which came first. It is open to the sky, which makes it the best-value evening in the city from November to February and a sweat from March to May. It is cheerful, in the way a courtyard with a dozen small bars competing for you is cheerful: the staff sit out front, the pool tables are the bait, and a person alone will have a conversation within a minute whether they wanted one or not.
It is not a place for a band, except Rock Station. It is not a place for a quiet drink, after seven. It is not, despite what the map suggests, a place with a roof, and this matters more than any other fact about it in the hot season. And it is not a complex you spend the whole night in, because the crowd it is built for leaves at nine and the second crowd is thinner and later.
The four bars on the street outside, which the list above ranks separately, are the ones to know if the courtyard is too much: Beer Hubb's Soi Buakhao branch for a beer list, Trench Town's second room for reggae, Matador for a guitarist and a back room with air-conditioning, and the rest of the street either side. All of them are within a hundred metres of the gate.
We are five minutes from Tree Town on foot and we send people there every night for the food. They come back to us for the band, because a courtyard with a dozen speakers and a hall with one stage are two different evenings, and the second one starts at nine. The route is at the bottom of this page. The order is eat there, sit here.
The stalls at the edge of the courtyard do the food the staff of every bar in the city eat on their break: grilled chicken and pork on skewers, som tam pounded to the heat you point at, sticky rice in a bag, a whole grilled fish with the salt crust on, and the soups that come in a bag with a rubber band. The stalls are open from about five and at their best before nine, when the grills are hot and the queue is the people who know. A plate can be carried to any stool in the courtyard, and the bars are happy about it because a person eating is a person staying.
There is also a proper restaurant or two at the edges with a menu in English and chairs with backs, for the people who want the food without the standing. And there is, across Soi Buakhao and up the street, the rest of the city's eating, which is not this page's job. Tree Town's food is Isaan and it is the best of any bar complex in Pattaya, by a distance, and the hall we are in does not compete: our plates come from across our soi, and they are a different kitchen and a different night.
Asked
Ratings, review counts and hours are Google's on 9 September 2026. Tree Town has no Google listing of its own, so the bars are the ones Google names or addresses inside it, and the count is smaller than the courtyard feels. We run the bar beside the stage at the hall five minutes away and have said so. Soi Buakhao as a whole has its own page.
How to find us
One way in, one way out. Nine bars stand between the gate and us, and each will invite you in. Keep walking.
The big Las Vegas Beer Garden sign, two minutes from LK Metro. Free entry, no ticket, no dress code.
Past Pocket Kings, Palace, the V Bar, Full House, Viva, Aces High, MGN and Black Jack. The music gets louder with every step.
A black disc ringed with bulbs, a gold crown over the K. That's the door. The toilets are just past it, which is why everyone walks by at least once.
KQ has its own pin on Google Maps, separate from the complex. Tap it and the blue dot ends at our bar, not the front gate.
