Booze Bar

4.9(367 reviews)$$$$

Tucked along Khongkha Road in Krabi town proper, this casual bar punches well above its weight for a budget-friendly venue, drawing a loyal mix of travellers and locals who keep its reputation firmly intact. Its location away from the beach resort strips makes it a genuine town local rather than a tourist trap, and that authenticity appears to be a significant part of its appeal. Visitors can expect a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere suited to unwinding after a day of exploring Krabi's limestone karsts, islands, and beaches. The casual setting works equally well for solo drinkers looking to meet people, small groups settling in for the evening, or travellers simply after an affordable drink without the polished pricing of resort-area bars. The vibe leans social and laid-back rather than loud and commercial. Good to know: Booze Bar opens every day of the week at 1pm, which makes it a flexible option well beyond typical evening hours — useful for an afternoon drink before heading out or a late session after dinner elsewhere. With last orders at 2am seven nights a week, there are no awkward early closings to plan around. Since it sits in Krabi town rather than Ao Nang or the beach areas, those staying centrally can walk or take a short ride without committing to a longer journey.

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.
