@Naret
Tucked along Soi Naresdamri in Hua Hin, @Naret is a cocktail bar and lounge that has quietly built a loyal following among both locals and visitors. The bar blends a relaxed, intimate atmosphere with a genuine dedication to drink quality — a combination that keeps guests coming back. Regulars and first-timers alike tend to leave impressed, and the space carries the kind of easy, unhurried energy that suits Hua Hin's pace well. The cocktail menu is where @Naret earns its reputation. The Negroni, in particular, draws consistent praise from guests who describe it as the standout version in town. Beyond that signature, the broader drinks programme reflects careful craft and attention to balance, making it a worthwhile stop for anyone who takes their cocktails seriously. The staff and ownership create a welcoming, friendly atmosphere that adds warmth to what is already a comfortable setting. Worth knowing: @Naret is a relatively intimate venue, so arriving early in the evening is advisable to secure a good spot, especially during peak travel periods around the holidays. As no website is currently listed, it is worth calling ahead or passing by in person to confirm opening hours before making it a dedicated stop for the night.

Visitor Reviews
Christmas in Hua Hin and we had the pleasure of a couple of sneaky drinks before the seasons official opening. (The doors were open even though the sign said ‘Opening soon… not sure when… maybe next year’). This bar has a lot of history, especially the site. (Over 100 years dating back to 1914). Hua Hin was a favourite destination of the late and very much loved King, and photos of his visits adorn not only the walls, but also in the upper room there is a museum style tribute to his Majesty. What to expect? Ambience number one. This is not the bar you rock up to in swim suit and flip flops. Dress tidy. Cocktails, Gin &Tonics, Single malt whiskey and lots of innovation from behind the bar. Expresso Martini with torched coffee beans, Homemade ginger beer Gin & Tonic, and house wine imported from France. I wanted to try more, but the night was in danger of turning into day and the antique bike was already parked in the ‘closed’ position. Another great touch. I’ll leave some photos so you can all see for yourself this little treasure of a bar with great ambience and over 100 years of history.
Absolutely one of my favorite bar in Thailand! The staff and the owner were very friendly! The atmosphere was top! I would definitely go back there !!
Very good quality drinks and atmosphere. And my friends who love Negroni, they said “ here is the best Negroni in town.”
Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
Carry Your Passport or a Copy
Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.
Know the Closing Times
Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.
Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously
Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
