Cuebar

Cuebar sits in the very heart of Phuket Old Town and works as a “two-in-one” venue: a cosy English-style pub downstairs and a rooftop terrace upstairs with views of the Clock Tower. After dark, the place really comes to life — live music sets the tone, from solo guitar to local bands, while the vibe stays easygoing and relaxed. People come here to meet friends, chat, and simply unwind with a drink.

Sports fans are well looked after, with multiple screens showing football, the Premier League, and major events like F1. If you ask, they can often switch on a specific match. There’s also a well-kept pool table, and casual games or small tournaments run from time to time, which may come with a simple “next-up” system.

The menu works equally well for bar snacks or a proper dinner. You’ll find bold-flavoured Thai favourites (Pad Thai, cashew chicken, curries) alongside classic pub comfort food — burgers, onion rings, fries, and chicken wings. Drinks range from beer and cocktails to staples like a Negroni, and prices are generally reasonable.

Service is usually attentive and friendly, with the owner actively involved in day-to-day operations. One thing to note: it’s worth checking the bill before you pay, as mix-ups or unexpected extra items can occasionally happen. Sundays during the night market — and nights with big screenings — can get very busy, so arriving early is a smart move.
