Green Bar and Restaurant Phuket is a cosy bar and restaurant in the Siray area, just a short two‑minute walk from Tide Hotel and about five minutes from the Westin. Set slightly uphill and surrounded by greenery, it feels especially calm in the evening, with a laid‑back, resort-like vibe that works equally well for a family dinner or a quiet date.
The menu focuses on authentic Thai cuisine with bold flavours and generous portions. Chicken dishes are a strong point (including cashew chicken and sweet‑and‑sour options), along with shrimp fried rice, wok‑fried vegetables, and sticky rice. The starters are worth trying too — homemade banana chips are a standout. Food is served quickly, prices are noticeably lower than at the nearby hotels, and portions are generally filling, although the pad thai may feel a bit on the smaller side.
The bar offers a solid selection of cocktails, including the house Green Bar Special, all mixed carefully and well balanced. In the evenings there’s often live music (guitar and vocals), kept at a volume that still allows easy conversation.
Service is warm and attentive: the staff speak good English, are happy to share local tips, and the owners go the extra mile with practical help — up to arranging transfers and boat tickets. The venue is kept clean and the kitchen looks well maintained; if you’re ordering deep‑fried dishes, it’s a good idea to confirm your preferred level of crispness.
