Phuket Bar Guide

30+ bars across Phuket's drinking neighbourhoods, curated by editors who know the island.

Phuket bars run from Patong neon megaclubs to Old Town shophouse speakeasies. Bangla Road in Patong is Asia's loudest stretch of neon nightlife. Across the island, Phuket Town's heritage Sino-Portuguese shophouses hold polished modern cocktail rooms. The drinks lean coconut, kaffir lime, and rum. Catch Beach Club has held a Thailand 50 Best beach-bar position for years.

Five neighbourhoods cluster the action. Patong is the neon-megaclub spine. Old Town holds the heritage shophouse cocktail rooms. Kata wraps the polished beach-club district. Kamala covers the boutique resort bars. Cherng Talay holds the new luxury-villa-area bars.

Cocktails run THB 250 to THB 450 ($7 to $13). Tipping is rounding up. Most bars run to 2am, Patong bars to 4am.
