BLACK OUT PATONG

BLACK OUT PATONG is a bar in Patong just a short walk from the beach — an easy place to drop in for a quick cocktail or settle in for a full night out. The venue is open-air with a covered seating area, so you can wait out a tropical downpour while still enjoying the breeze. Even when it gets busy, there’s enough space to stay comfortable. Inside, everything is neat and clean, with a laid-back vibe that still feels distinctly “nighttime.”

Music and DJ sets are a big part of the experience. The playlist leans international, and as the evening goes on it naturally shifts from chill background tunes to a more dance-focused mood. The bass can be quite powerful, though, so if you prefer it quieter, it’s best to sit farther from the speakers.

The drink menu is centered on cocktails. Presentation is eye-catching, flavors are usually well balanced, and the bartenders can handle classics like a dirty martini as well as house signatures (for example, the Muay Thai cocktail). Some mixes can come out on the sweet side, depending on what you order.

Food is straightforward bar fare: fries, chicken, shareable snacks, and pizza. Happy hour deals run from time to time, including buy-one-get-one offers. Service is fast and friendly, and the staff are attentive to special requests. It’s also worth double-checking the bill to make sure all items and prices match, just to avoid any confusion.
