Sunny Bar Chalong in Phuket is the kind of place made for an easygoing night and genuine, no‑pressure conversation. It’s easy to stay longer than planned: the vibe is relaxed, and the staff are warm, friendly, and fun to chat with. Whether you come with friends or drop in on your own, the space naturally encourages conversation and helps you feel at home.

The main draw here is pool. Every Saturday they host a pool tournament that people come specifically for — it feels like a competition and a party at the same time. On tournament days they also serve free food, but keep in mind that there’s no kitchen on regular days, so it’s worth planning your evening accordingly.

The beer selection is solid: expect ice‑cold beer with a few different options, including Beerlao and IPAs. Service is steady and attentive, without any fuss.

Music sets the mood too — you can queue up your own tracks on a tablet and turn the night into a casual sing‑along. Overall, it’s lively without being loud: an easy place to unwind, have fun, and want to come back.
