Landmark Bar Patong on Nanai Road is a small, lively spot for anyone who wants a relaxed drink, good conversation, and a game of pool without the usual hustle. The staff quickly remember regulars and their preferences, and the atmosphere is built on a friendly team and attention to detail.
Service is the main priority here. The beer is genuinely served ice-cold — often in a cooler sleeve — and drinks are brought to your table neatly, complete with a coaster. Prices stay reasonable, and the team is attentive without being pushy: no pressure to keep ordering and no expectation to buy drinks for the staff. A lady-drink setup is available, but only if you choose.
It’s also a great place for groups and meeting new people. The music is easy to enjoy, it’s simple to strike up a conversation, and pool is free. The table is usually busy, and the room has a fun, social energy.
One more reason to stop by is Monday evenings: around 7:00 PM they host a BBQ and treat guests — sometimes with burgers, sometimes Thai dishes. If you’re hungry, you can also order food in from a nearby restaurant to go with your drinks.
Now and then the bar may close a bit earlier toward the end of the night, so it’s best to come in sooner — especially if you’re planning to stay for a while.
