O’Haras Irish Public House in Phuket is a laid-back Irish pub on Boat Avenue — easy to drop by for a quick pint or settle in for the whole evening. Inside you’ll find a classic pub-style interior and an outdoor terrace, with plenty of seating. The vibe is lively and chatty: people strike up conversations easily and the night often turns into a shared bit of fun.

The bar’s standout is Guinness on tap, backed by a solid drinks list — draft beer, IPAs, whiskey, and cocktails. There’s a daytime happy hour, and the staff sometimes treat guests to small extras like snacks or shots. Overall, prices feel fair for the area.

It’s very much a “beer + events” kind of place. The pub regularly shows live sports (from football and rugby to motorsport and darts), hosts a popular Thursday quiz night, and also runs occasional music evenings and a Latin Night with dancing.

The menu mixes Western favourites with Thai dishes. Crowd-pleasers include pizza, nuggets with fries, wings, satay, shawarma-style wraps, and quesadillas, with a Sunday roast/carvery option for meat lovers. That said, the kitchen can be inconsistent: some dishes — especially steaks, the Guinness pie, and certain spicy items — may disappoint, and service can be slow at times. On big match days it’s best to arrive early, as it gets packed around kickoff, and it’s worth confirming closing times on-site.
