Bar Botan is set within Veranda Phuket and operates as a seaside bar-restaurant. It’s easy to sink into a plush armchair and spend the evening in a calm, intimate atmosphere: the surroundings are quiet, the air is fresh, and the main highlight is the sweeping panoramic view of the ocean and sunsets that defines the entire experience.
The menu focuses on drinks and well-presented food that’s served neatly and looks striking on the table. Cocktails are mixed with confidence and a clear sense of balance, ranging from light and refreshing to stronger, tarter profiles. The Singapore Sling, Whisky Sour, and mojito are particularly good picks, and they pair nicely with snacks like crispy taro sticks. Late in the evening, there’s a happy hour from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm, and overall pricing remains reasonable.
Another standout is the attentive service: the staff quickly pick up on what you’re looking for, make thoughtful drink recommendations, help you take great photos, and can even offer mosquito repellent if needed. All in all, Bar Botan works equally well for a sunset date or a slow, unhurried wind-down after a day in Phuket — no rush, great cocktails, and a view that’s worth coming back for.
