| Item | Beer Bar | Go-Go Bar | Premium Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local beer (Chang, Leo, Singha) | ฿80–120 | ฿150–200 | ฿180–250 |
| Import beer (Heineken, Tiger, Asahi) | ฿120–160 | ฿180–250 | ฿220–300 |

💡 Price Tip
Go-go bars on the 2nd and 3rd floors of Nana Plaza are generally more expensive than beer bars on the ground floor. If you're on a budget, start at a beer bar (80-120 THB for a beer) and watch the shows from the open corridors — entry to the plaza itself is free.
Bar Fines — What They Are and How Much
A bar fine is a fee paid to the venue if you want a dancer or hostess to leave with you for the evening. It's paid to the bar, not to the individual. Bar fines are standard across all go-go bars in Thailand — this isn't a scam, it's how the industry works.
| Venue Type | Bar Fine Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard go-go bar | ฿600–1,000 | Most common range. Paid at the cashier before leaving. |
| Premium go-go bar | ฿1,000–1,500 | Popular venues with high-rated dancers. |
| Top-tier venue | ฿1,500–2,500+ | Exclusive venues, well-known performers. |
| Beer bar | ฿400–800 | Casual venues, lower prices. |
⚠️ Important
The bar fine is ONLY the venue fee. It does not include any private agreement with the individual. Always discuss expectations clearly and respectfully. The bar fine is non-negotiable at most venues — it's posted or stated upfront.
VIP Bottle Service
Bottle service is available at most go-go bars and is the premium way to experience Nana Plaza. You get a reserved table, a bottle of spirits with mixers, and dedicated service.
| Package | Price Range | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Standard bottle (whisky/vodka + mixers) | ฿3,000–5,000 | 1 bottle, mixers, reserved seating |
| Premium bottle (Johnnie Walker Black, Absolut) | ฿5,000–8,000 | 1 premium bottle, mixers, priority seating |
| Champagne package | ฿5,000–15,000 | 1-2 champagne bottles, sparklers, VIP area |
| Group package (4-6 people) | ฿8,000–20,000 | Multiple bottles, full table setup, sparklers |
💡 VIP Tip
At Spankys Bangkok, VIP bottle service starts at 5,000 THB and includes a reserved table, premium spirits, mixers, and dedicated service. Reserve via LINE (line.me/R/ti/p/@spankys) for guaranteed seating on Friday and Saturday nights.

Hidden Costs to Watch For
Most Nana Plaza venues are honest about prices, but there are a few costs that first-timers don't expect.
| Cost | Amount | How to Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| "Show" tax | ฿500–1,000 | Some venues add this if you watch a private show. Ask before agreeing. |
| ATM fee | ฿220 | Bring enough cash. ATMs at Nana charge 220 THB per withdrawal. |
| Grab (late night) | ฿200–500 | Late-night surge pricing. Budget extra for transport after midnight. |
| Rounding up | ฿50–100 | Some venues round up the bill. Check your receipt. |
| Unordered lady drinks | ฿150–250 | Only order what YOU request. If a drink appears you didn't order, dispute it politely. |
⚠️ Scam Alert
The most common overcharging at Nana Plaza: a staff member orders a lady drink on your behalf without asking. Always confirm before any drink is ordered for you. If you see an unexpected charge, politely point it out and ask to remove it. Most venues will correct it.
