“ For sleepy Nong Khai this is as close to a pub you will get I guess. There is nothing Irish about it except the name but very cold beer and a reasonable fish and chips. Agreeable staff. A bit like drinking in a warehouse though! Could do with a little bit of character ”
“ Amazing place great food, lovely owner's, who always have time for a chat, can get very busy in there, possibly the best bar in town, right on the river front, you not regret going in there for eating or drinking, top grade food, ”
“ Nice place with a friendly atmosphere. The staff was quite pleasant and helpful. There is plenty of seating. As an open air facility, you can smoke anywhere. The beers were cold and the food was good. While the cheese burger was a bit messing while eating, it was very good. As where the fries (chips). Was very surprised to see 10 shrimp for the price! Thank you for that. The place has a nice view of the Mekong and we were lucky enough to come on a day when there were fireworks over the water. ”
“ My first time at this restaurant and bar. I love the view and the burgers, garlic bread and wings. The Mekong River view at the Nongkhai Walking Street is a great place to hang out and have some food and drink. This is a great place to come when you are at Nongkhai. There’s also nice hotel nearby that you can stay. I stayed at the Rim Kong hotel. ”
“ Arrived late in Nong Khai and was looking for a place that served dinner. Got a tip about this place and they arranged food even though it was almost closing time. They serve all kinds of drinks and have a menu with both western and Thai food. Food portions were of a good size, served by friendly staff. The place faces the Mekong River and the river promenade, and parking is available in the surrounding area. ”
