Get Directions Ask Our TeamWhat The Irish Times Is
The Irish Times holds Unit 3127 on the ground floor of Jungceylon, in the mall's Sino Phuket zone. It is the only Irish owned pub on the island.
Phuket 101, which has covered Patong since 2011, calls it the place for a cold Guinness and proper pub food when Thai menus need a break. The room backs that up with a full kitchen, a long bar, and screens in every sightline.
Doors run 11am to 1am, every day of the year.
Reading the Room
Dark wood everywhere. Barrel tables with stools, a long wooden counter with checkered tile behind it, and brick walls hung with old signs and Irish sayings.
A separate dining area with banquettes handles families, and a handful of tables outside the entrance watch the mall's foot traffic go by. The pub sits indoors, air conditioned, two blocks from Bangla Road's noise.
What to Order
The rest of the card covers the classics: all day Irish breakfast with black pudding until 3pm, fish and chips, Guinness pie, Irish stew, bangers and mash. Daily specials go up on a chalkboard outside, and there is a kids menu.
Inside The Irish Times
Who Shows Up, and When
Families and shoppers by day, expats by night. The switch happens around the evening kickoffs, when the Premier League, Formula 1, cricket, golf, and MotoGP take over the screens.
Big match nights fill the room early. Phuket 101's advice is to arrive before the broadcast starts if you want a seat with a sightline.
What Regulars Say
- Tripadvisor reviewers return for the breakfast, served from 11am, and rate the fish and chips the most reliable plate in Jungceylon.
- Phuket 101 flags the Steak on Stone as the order that separates it from every other pub on the island.
- The recurring practical tip: the mall location means easy parking and air conditioning, two things Bangla Road bars cannot offer.
Who It Is For
- Anyone in Patong who needs the match, a proper pint, and a kitchen that runs to 11pm.
- Families. The dining room and kids menu make it the rare Patong pub that works before dark.
- Avoid if you came for Thai street energy. This is a faithful Dublin room inside a shopping mall, and it knows it.
Before You Go
Enter Jungceylon from Rat-U-Thit 200 Pee Road and stay on the ground floor; the pub anchors the Sino Phuket zone. Bangla Road and the beach sit five minutes away on foot.
