The Living Room, Koh Lipe

4.7(118 reviews)$$$$

Situated on the heart of Walking Street, The Living Room is one of Koh Lipe's go-to spots for evening drinks and a relaxed atmosphere. The bar draws a mix of travellers and island regulars looking for a comfortable place to wind down after a day on the water, with a setting that lives up to its name — casual, sociable, and easy to settle into. Guests can expect a mid-range drinks menu in a laid-back bar environment typical of Koh Lipe's island vibe. The Walking Street location puts it within easy reach of the island's other dining and nightlife options, making it a natural stop on an evening out. The bar opens at 2pm daily, which means it works equally well for an afternoon drink as it does for a late night — last orders run until 1am across all seven days of the week. For those planning a visit, no reservations are required and the venue is accessible on foot from most accommodation on the island. Walking Street itself can get busy during peak season, roughly November through April, so arriving earlier in the evening is a good way to secure a comfortable spot before the crowds build. Visitors can check updates and current offerings through the bar's Facebook page before heading out.

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.
