Whiskey & Go Go is situated within Bangkok’s renowned Nana Entertainment Plaza, boasting one of the most captivating entrances in the entire NEP. It manages to distinguish itself even amidst the backdrop of bikini-clad entertainers and the vibrant neon lights.
Another noteworthy aspect about Whiskey & Go Go is its opening in late 2020, right in the midst of the pandemic when circumstances remained quite uncertain. Remarkably, Whiskey not only weathered the challenges but has now established itself as a popular agogo venue.
Bangkok hosts numerous go-go bars, each adhering to a fairly similar model, yet with distinct variations among them. For example, Crazy House is renowned for its nude and provocative dancers, while Spanky’s is famous for its spanking performances. Whiskey & Go Go, on the other hand, has gained recognition for its extensive selection of aged whiskeys, which, interestingly, might present a unique challenge.
Whiskey in Nana Plaza
Whiskey & Go Go occupies the second floor of Nana Plaza, and its name is prominently displayed in neon right above the entrance. The door itself is an intricately designed antique wooden door, distinct from anything I have come across in venues of this nature anywhere in the world.
Upon entering the bar, the interior appears relatively unadorned. It features the customary stages and dance poles, but none of these elements are exceptionally remarkable. What truly sets the bar apart is the manner in which it is managed.
At Whiskey & Go Go, there are no mamasans responsible for the ladies on staff. Consequently, there is no one dictating where the ladies should sit or with whom. There is also no pressure for customers to purchase lady drinks. In fact, there isn’t even anyone enforcing a dress code, so, apart from the numbered badges, the ladies can wear whatever they prefer. It’s a genuinely free-spirited agogo.
The name Whiskey & Go Go is aptly chosen, with the go-go aspect being a central feature. However, the management doesn’t appear to view it as the sole focus. They have created a lounge-style environment complete with an expanded drink selection. The outcome is likely the only go-go bar in Thailand where you can order a Johnny Walker Gold Label Reserve on the rocks.
Staff, services and summary
Whiskey & Go Go has managed to recruit a good number of dancers without the aid of a mamasan. Still the ladies are rather well mannered and wearing a variety of outfits. Some go the sexy costume route while others stick to the tried and true bikini set.
Most of the ladies dancing at Whiskey appear to be in their mid twenties. There may be a couple who are closer to their mid thirties. This is not a coyote dancer sort of place at all.
More experienced gals seem more keen to work here. I’ve even seen a few well known faces from other bars at Whiskey. So I guess they have been able to recruit some star performers over from other venues. The lack of a demanding mamasan may have had something to do with this.
