Fro m The BangkokAtoZ
Texas Lone Staar Bar and Restaurant [Washington Square]. The second bar, on your left, as you continue into the Square, away from the front gate. This
double-shophouse bar is the most cowboy-oriented of all the Square bars, and as cowboy as virtually any cowboy-themed bar in Bangkok. Owned and run by “Generous” George –
himself a veritable institution, having been in the bar business in Bangkok since he arrived in Thailand early during the Vietnam War years. The
Lone Staar – that’s NOT misspelled! – offers some of the very best American food in Bangkok; particularly good are its chicken-fried steaks
and deep-fried chicken, along with the USDA steaks on offer. Free lunch at 3:00 P.M. every Saturday afternoon (a long-time tradition of George’s)
for alcohol drinkers. Cowboy music, darts, a very friendly staff, this is the place to go for those wanting to escape into a setting that one would expect
in a West Texas saloon. Massive square bar, some wooden booths. Darts, television, music. (We have to admit a bias: “Doctor” Dennis eats
here almost every day he’s in town; “Mekhong” Kurt lives above here; and “Speedo” Keith both lives upstairs and is night manager. So, all three
creators of this web site have connections here!) Offers rooms for both short-term and long-term rental. 6:00 A.M.- about 1:00 A.M.
