A great late night drinking spot located on Mae Luan Road right next to the Sino Inn Phuket is this place, a no name (ตำนัว to give it it's Thai name) shack with rustic decor. Frequented mainly by Thai's but with the occasional westerner dropping by, this is the place to experience the real Thailand. Too many westerners in this country never really understand local culture and this place just acts as a metaphor ! The thumping pubs and clubs of the seaside resorts are not local style, here is where regular Thais hang out and so should you.
With outdoor seating, an extensive cocktail menu plus great live acoustic music this place ticks all my boxes. For a meal I don't recommend it but if you want to unwind in Phuket town you can't go far wrong. The staff here are really friendly and accommodating with a decent grasp of English, the Table service is refreshingly decent without being pushy. The snacks are quick, tasty and a nice mix of western and Thai (french fries to 'Moo-Manao'). By all accounts the cocktails are some of the best in town with an extensive menu and the beers are cold and cheap. It gets busy after 9 pm so you'll need to get there before if you want your choice of where to sit. This is the sort of place I'll miss the most whenever I'm back in England, go with a couple of friends and talk, drink then talk some more.
