Why go, and how to do it well
Situated on Chaofah Road in the Pak Nam district of Krabi town, Open Bar & Restaurant offers a relaxed spot that bridges the gap between daytime dining and evening drinks. Its location in the quieter, more local-feeling Pak Nam area makes it a decent alternative to the more tourist-heavy strips, attracting a laid-back crowd looking for a casual place to settle in.
The venue operates as both a bar and a restaurant, giving visitors the flexibility to stop in for a meal earlier in the day or wind down with drinks as the evening progresses. The long daily hours — 9am to midnight, seven days a week — mean it suits a range of schedules, whether you are after a late breakfast, a mid-afternoon refreshment, or a nightcap after exploring the area.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
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.
Arrange Your Ride Home
Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
