Full Review

Retox Bar runs a sports-bar concept on Soi Buakhao with multiple large-screen TVs mounted across the walls, pool tables occupying the back section, and a bar that keeps cold beer flowing at Soi Buakhao prices. The name is refreshingly honest: this is the place you visit to undo whatever health-conscious decisions you made during daylight hours. The layout is open and social, with counter seating for solo visitors and table areas for groups gathering around a match.

The sports focus gives Retox a clear identity on Soi Buakhao. Premier League football draws the biggest crowds, but UFC events, boxing, cricket, and rugby all pull their audiences depending on the schedule. Between sporting events, the pool tables and the social atmosphere keep the evening moving. Drinks are cheap and served cold. The staff know the sports schedule and have the right channel ready before you ask.

Retox competes directly with What's Up Bar for the activity-focused Soi Buakhao crowd. What's Up has the prominent corner location and the pool tables. Retox counters with bigger screens, better sports coverage, and a layout specifically designed for watching events with a beer. For visitors who want to watch a live match in a social setting without Bangkok prices, Retox is Soi Buakhao's strongest option.

Check the sports calendar and plan around major events. The crowd energy transforms when a significant match is showing, with the bar filling to capacity for big Premier League fixtures. Pool tables stay busy between events. Evenings and weekends are the peak hours when the regular community assembles.

The Neighborhood

Retox Bar sits on Soi Buakhao's main strip, offering a sports-bar option on a street otherwise dominated by generic beer bars. The venue draws from the soi's expat community and visiting sports fans.
