Archetypical Thai version of an English pub, with a good central bar for sitting and vast bench at one end to accommodate the bar over flow. The other end has a music stage where a band performs every night. The menu is extensive with a good mix of Thai food, pasta, steaks and traditional pub meals. The wine list owes a great deal to the owners other interest, the upmarket Witches in the city centre. However I do not see a great demand for 5,000 Baht bottles of wine after a few pints of Guinness or Kilkenny!
The spring rolls I had were listed as spinach and cheese spring rolls and that is what they were: I was not sure it really worked but somebody was trying! My lamb burger was, I thought, a little over spicy but otherwise fine. A sign outside says the best burgers in Bangkok are served in the WT: a big claim in a city awash with fast food! My companion had Thai (Issan) food which was very well presented and I was assured first rate. Not haute cuisine but a good honest fun eatery.
