Hollywood Bar brings a little more room to play with than most of its neighbours on Soi 6.

Spread across a double-width unit, the open-fronted bar combines street-facing seating with a fully air-conditioned interior, pool tables and even Guinness on tap. Pool is a surprisingly big part of the identity here, with the weekly Bikini Killer tournament every Monday, while Hollywood also serves as the starting point for a regular Thursday crawl through Soi 6 - making it a natural meeting point for visitors looking to make a night of the street.

Despite the name, the atmosphere is more sociable than glamorous, with music kept at a level where you can still talk and a reputation for friendly management and a relaxed approach to drinks.

You might not have your name on a star, but you could almost believe you'd made it in Hollywood walking down Soi 6.
