Tilac

don’t come here. went there with my boyfriend to pregame for a night of bar hopping and was groped and fondled. i repeatedly told the girl “no” and she pretended to not understand. she showed us pictures of dead mother and daughter (odd). then she and another girl proceeded to run our bill up ordering themselves shots and drinks off our tab. the original girl and the new girl both kept encouraging us to drink more and more.. which i understand to an extent. they are trained to get as much money for the bar as possible, but it just felt so predatory considering they kept trying touch us or get us to kiss them. when we closed out the manager gave us back our change then got upset when we didn’t want to tip after literally being harassed by her employees… i’m never coming back. my night was absolutely ruined here.

I walked into Tilac expecting a fun night and maybe a cold drink. Instead, i got an unexpected live performance called "The Advanced Mathematics of Lady Drinks." A woman came over acting like we were old friends reunited after years apart. Very warm. Very charming. Very efficient. Within minutes, i realized this was not romance, this was a well-organized financial operation. We agreed on one drink price, but somehow the bill went to university level accounting. A 200 baht drink turned into 400 baht by what i can only assume was magic, creative writing, or a backstage promotion i was not informed about. Then another drink appeared on the bill like a surprise guest star, despite never properly arriving at the table. So basically, i came for nightlife and got a crash course in illusion, negotiation, and fiction. The place itself has energy, lights, and all the usual bar atmosphere. But if the billing system is more entertaining than the actual night, that is not a good sign. Recommended only if you enjoy: confusing drink prices, uninvited bill upgrades, and feeling like the punchline of someone else's joke. I left with less money, less trust, and a stronger relationship with checking the bill line by line. 1 star for the neon. 0 stars for the honesty.
