Yakbar X Phuket

Yakbar X Phuket is a characterful bar in Phuket Old Town, easy to spot thanks to its bold sign and strong Thai-themed concept. Inside, it’s cozy and spotless, with plenty of photogenic corners. The seating is thoughtfully arranged so you can either settle in for a relaxed conversation or stay close to the action.

The venue’s main focus is Thai music and live entertainment. Evenings typically start with a live band, then shift into a DJ set that moves from traditional Thai sounds to modern remixes — perfect for unwinding or getting up to dance. On certain nights, there are performances inspired by characters from Thai literature; the show feels intimate and adds a memorable twist to the night. Keep in mind that the full program isn’t available every day, so you may arrive on a quieter night without a show.

The bar menu centers on creative cocktails — bright presentation, well-balanced flavors, and playful names. Food is more than a casual bar snack: it’s a proper Thai kitchen. The menu includes satisfying hot dishes, such as crispy pork (for example, fried pork belly with fish sauce), along with shareable options that work well for a group.

Service matches the vibe: the staff are friendly, help you choose drinks and find the right table, and stay attentive throughout the evening. The room is comfortably cool thanks to air conditioning, and a local cat may occasionally wander by — an extra touch that makes the place feel even more welcoming. One practical note: parking nearby can be challenging.
