Buddy's Bar & Grill

Buddy's Bar & Grill has poured for Bangkok sports crowds since 2012 and now runs five rooms across the city, four along Sukhumvit and one on Silom. The Sukhumvit branches sit near Nana, Asoke, Phrom Phong and On Nut BTS stations, so one of them lands close to most hotels. That spread makes Buddy's the easy default when you want the match without a trip across town.

Coverage is the reason it ranks. The chain pulls every local satellite sports package and backs it with online streams, and its own site posts a live sports schedule for each branch. Accidental Travel Writer notes the group shows American, Australian, British, Canadian and European sport across its rooms.

The Soi 20 flagship near Asoke runs four flat screens with clear sight lines from most tables. The kitchen turns out American, Tex Mex, European and Thai plates from breakfast onward, and the room stays open until 2am for the late European window.

Buddy's belongs in any conversation about sports bars in Bangkok. Check the posted schedule, pick the branch nearest your hotel, and arrive early for a derby because the tables near the main screen go first.
