90’s

90’s in Phuket feels like a laid-back hangout with a “friends-at-home” vibe. It’s the kind of place where you easily end up staying the whole evening because everything revolves around music and conversation. The setting is casual and relaxed, though it can get hot and stuffy inside — especially when it’s busy.

The real centerpiece here is the live music. Several bands may play in one night, and the vocals and stage energy make it feel like an intimate, small-venue concert. The setlist varies — from familiar tunes to songs that can be harder to connect with if you don’t speak the language — but the overall mood stays warm and welcoming.

Food is straightforward and filling. Fish and shrimp dishes are a strong choice, along with BBQ and burgers. You’ll also find quick, wok-fried instant noodles with seafood.Bar prices in Kathu are reasonable — among the most affordable in the area. Drinks lean heavily toward beer, and the overall selection may feel a bit limited.

Service is usually attentive. Smoking is allowed indoors, including e-cigarettes, so smoke is noticeable. Restroom facilities aren’t ideal either: the waiting area may be close to smokers, which takes away from the comfort.
