First opening
in 2001, Wall Street has quickly established itself as one of the premier
meeting venues for expats and visiting business travellers who wish to
network and relive a taste of ‘home’ in the midst of the Bangkok
metropolis.
With a distinct Southern Hemisphere rugby following, with a taste of the
Sub-Continent during the cricket season and a drop of Europe during the FA
Premier League and European/World Cups, Rick O’Shea, (red headed Kiwi of
Irish descent), publican extraordinaire and sports fanatic, manages a
meeting place where through ‘meaningful and unbiased’ discussion amongst
punters, world issues can be solved, sports tactics can be developed for
team managers worldwide and referees can be advised of their performance
in no uncertain terms.
General operating hours are 4pm – 1 am, however when major televised
sporting events are outside these hours, be it Rugby, Soccer, Cricket,
Motorsport, Aussie Rules, Golf etc, appropriate operating hours are open
to ensure live viewing. Wall Street provides extra live sports coverage of
events with English commentary, often not provided by the local cable
operator.
Wall Street is a major sponsor of & the clubhouse for the (in)famous Old
Bangkok Bangers Rugby Club, Thailand’s only team at the Golden Oldies
Rugby Festival in Brisbane 2003, as well as the Vintage Rugby tournament
in Limerick Ireland, September 2004. It is advisable to join the Bangers
club (1000 baht per year) to obtain discounted drink prices (after 9pm)
and freebies on the big game occasions.
Its friendly atmosphere, attentive staff, ice cold beer and great food
prepared on major sporting occasions by our resident pool shark, Aussie
Rules fanatic and culinary expert “Geoff the chef”, make Wall Street the
place to be, when the big games are on.
