Cleo's Hideout Speakeasy

4.8(77 reviews)

Tucked away in Muang Pattaya, Cleo's Hideout Speakeasy leans into the classic speakeasy concept — a bar designed to feel like a hidden gem, rewarding those who seek it out with an intimate and characterful atmosphere that sets it apart from Pattaya's more predictable nightlife strip. Its strong reputation among visitors points to a place that takes both its drinks and its ambience seriously. Guests can expect a moody, carefully curated environment typical of the speakeasy format, where the focus is on quality cocktails and a more laid-back, conversational vibe rather than loud club energy. The bar draws a mix of expats, travellers, and locals who appreciate something a little more considered than the average Pattaya bar scene. The consistent praise from visitors suggests attentive service and a welcoming crowd. As a practical note, specific opening hours are not listed publicly, so it is worth contacting the venue directly or arriving in the early evening to confirm access. Given the speakeasy concept, the bar may have limited capacity, and showing up earlier in the night could mean a better chance of securing a good seat before it fills up.

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.
