Phuket Nightlife, nightclubs, dance music, discos bars & entertainment
As the sun goes down on a paradise island it’s time for Phuket’s nightlife to ramp up! Partying here is great, we as visitors or long term residents are spoiled with a huge variety of entertainment venues. Phuket and especially Patong beach has seen some serious club and dance music scene evolve over the past years this often bringing international guest DJ’s over to spin some overseas dance vibes. Un surprisingly the clubs such as Seduction Beach Club & Disco, Breeze, Stereo Lab and Catch Beachclub get most attention for there consistent supply of music and vibrant atmospheres. Things are quite affordable down here and your sure to get max bang for your Phuket nightlife boogie baht.
Factory Bar
Factory Bar Soi Bangla in Patong opened its doors to a 20-meter bar serving cool fresh-fruit cocktails. You dance the night away to R 'n' B, Dance, House, Rock and hits from the 80s and 90s in a very trendy setting of contemporary Scandinavian industrial design.
Seduction Beach Club
Seduction was the first of a new generation of night club in Phuket. Seduction is the first club to have brought in the worlds finest international DJ’s to Phuket and after three years entertaining an international clubbers scene as well as expat community they have done exactly as they set out to do and there success has came as no surprise.
Stereo Lab
Stereo Lab in Surin beach is definitely worth checking. Nice beach club bar with lively event schedule. Names like Todd Terry. Stanton Warriors, Goldie, Joey Negro visited Stereo Lab this season and many more are booked for the coming months ahead..
Catch Beach Club
Worship the sun in ultra comfy beach loungers or watch people at the cool, oversized terrazzo bar…Night life in Phuket is often enjoyed in places like Patong, Kata and other tourist areas but if your looking for something more chilled and uber cool then head to Catch beach club at Surin beach, Phuket.
Boat Bar
Paradise Complex Patong is the centre of Phuket Islands gay nightlife scene. There is a variety of hotels, restaurants and bars in a well-developed gay social scene. This is where Boat Bar, the gay hotspot in town, opens its doors every night. It offers a wide variety of entertainment to the gay crowd after midnight.
Scruffy Murphy’s
I like to go along here when I am feeling a little homesick, sip a cold Guinness and watch the band – they never fail to get the young crowd out of their seats and doing a little jig. Beer is cheap and the atmosphere is familiar and hospitable, you forget you are in Thailand once you get inside. 12.00 – 2am
Tai Pan
Looking to get liquored are you? Tai Pan is the place to go with a bevy of beautiful ladies, live music and some of the best sounds in Patong. It can get a bit crowded especially on party nights and be careful of the girls, many are freelancing!! Good location in Soi Bangla and a live band. 9pm - late
Tiger Bar
I can’t say too much about this place as I can never remember the next morning but my flashbacks tell me I had a good time! Live music and DJs keep the vibe up tempo, you can sit at a bar and watch the street life or join in the fun on the dance floor with the tiger skin clad ladies and lots of raunchy dancing (pole included).
Rock City
If rock and metal music are your thing then you will love this live music bar, it even has its own tribute AC/DC band. This place is often packed and there is always a good crowd with a friendly atmosphere. I went here by myself one night and soon hooked up with a group of people out for a good laugh.
Molly Malone’s
Good place to relax and sip a nice cold pint if you just want to meet up with some friends for a chat or sit and watch the live band. If you don’t want to be hassled by bar girls then try here, nothing too exciting but you know what you are getting, the usual Irish themed pub - prefer Scruffy’s myself. 12 – 2am
Banana
I was turned off this club before we even got in as a friend of mine got loads of hassle from the door staff as she was Thai and wasn’t with a farang guy! Frankly I found the music really boring, techno and dance music and though I love to dance it did nothing for me. I did get free drinks vouchers with the entrance fee however. 10pm – 2am
Coyote
A bit cheesy I guess with ‘hombres’ dressed up in ponchos and sombreros, but it is right on the beach and serves delicious margaritas and if you fancy a tequila slammer there are lots of different types on offer. Cool place to hang out in the evening and it has live music.
Baya Beach Bar
This a fun place to go as there is always some kind of party in swing. Full of young girls dressed in as little as possible, the place is often too crowded. Normally I would say ‘not really my scene’ however I had a great time here dancing in a circle with a bunch of strangers!
