Flann O’Brien’s Irish Pub
Fans of 20th Century Irish literature can be forgiven if they think they’ve mysteriously entered the pages of a Flann O’Brien novel when they set foot in this eponymous Irish pub in Bangkok. In fact, this is no laughing matter!
But seriously, with its cozy and inviting ambiance, this atmospheric Irish pub is pretty much the way a public house in Dublin would be described in one of O’Brien’s most engaging and thought-provoking novels. Take this evocative quote from his highly celebrated masterpiece, At Swim-Two-Birds, for example: “There is no better place than a snug corner of an Irish pub, where the hum of conversation and clink of glasses create a haven of warmth and camaraderie.”
As for the food, you can expect a hearty and delicious menu featuring classic Irish fare paired with a pint of Guinness. Think: Braised Irish Lamb Shank, Beef & Guinness Pie, Homemade Irish Lamb Stew, Bangers & Mash, and Irish Leek Soup.

O’Leary’s Irish Pub Bangkok
This cozy Irish pub is located on an alley off Sukhumvit Road (known as a “soi” in Thai), and it’s famous for its delicious meat pies. Of the four pies on the menu, I opted for the Beef Guinness Pie, which was a pretty obvious choice.
Can you guess what I washed it down with? I must say, it was absolutely delicious. Rather than pairing it with “chips” (that’s French fries to Americans), I opted for the garden salad. It made a perfect dinner.
There are flat screen TVs showing rugby, soccer, cricket, and other sports as well as darts and pool. There a small patio overlooking the soi.
The night I was there, a very talented musician was serenading the gathering. Apparently, they have live music three nights a week: Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
