Ultra Bar Samui

4.6(59 reviews)

Tucked along Soi Reggae in Bo Put on Koh Samui's northern coast, Ultra Bar Samui is a casual bar and sports venue that draws visitors with a laid-back atmosphere, football screenings, billiards, and a varied drinks menu. The venue leans into a pub-meets-nightclub vibe, with an eclectic decor described by visitors as featuring interesting patches and memorabilia throughout. Cocktails and cold beers are the drinks of choice, and the bar has built a following among travellers looking for a relaxed spot to watch sport and socialise. Visitor experiences at Ultra Bar Samui are mixed and worth noting before you go. Many guests praise the friendly bar owner and welcoming atmosphere, while a number of female visitors have raised serious concerns about drinks being brought to their table without consent and questionable billing practices. Women travelling in groups should be aware of these accounts and exercise caution. Practically speaking, Ultra Bar Samui is located on the beach road in Bo Put, making it easy to find and convenient to other bars and restaurants in the area. Opening hours are not listed online, so it is worth checking locally before making it a planned stop for the evening. Given its sports bar profile, the venue is likely busiest on match nights.

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.
