Super Pussy
Super Pussy has traded on its provocative name for decades, making it one of the most photographed signs on Patpong 1. The bar occupies a ground-floor space with an old-fashioned interior that hasn't seen a major renovation in years. Seating for around 30 customers wraps around a small stage where shows run nightly. The venue is probably Patpong's most famous name among tourists who've read about the area before visiting, and the bar benefits from that recognition. The shows are the main draw, featuring performances that range from standard go-go dancing to the more theatrical acts that Patpong was historically known for. Quality varies significantly from night to night and depends on which performers are working. The bar draws a lot of walk-in curiosity seekers who stay for one drink, take in the scene, and move on. Regular customers are fewer here than at other Patpong bars. Prices are average for the strip.

Insider Tip
Don't confuse this with the upstairs show scam venues. Super Pussy is a legitimate ground-floor bar with standard pricing. Shows start after 21:00 and the quality depends on the night. One drink is enough to get the experience.
Full Review
Super Pussy is more a piece of Patpong history than a great bar. The name alone draws tourists through the door, and the neon sign out front is probably the most photographed on the entire strip. Inside, the reality is more modest than the name suggests.
The bar is small and dated. A compact stage hosts shows that run the spectrum from standard go-go dancing to the more unusual acts Patpong built its reputation on. On a good night with experienced performers, the shows are entertaining in a uniquely Patpong way. On a bad night, it feels tired.
Prices are standard for Patpong 1. Beer at 160 THB, lady drinks at 180 THB, and a bar fine of 800 THB. The bills have been correct on my visits, and the staff are straightforward. There's no aggressive upselling, partly because the bar doesn't need it; the name brings customers through the door without effort.
Most visitors stay for one drink and a show, then move on. That's probably the right approach. Super Pussy is a box to check on a Patpong tour rather than a destination to build an evening around. But it's a legitimate venue with honest pricing, which matters on a street where scams are common.
