Why go, and how to do it well
Dress properly or you won't get in. That's the first thing to know about this Walking Street club, because at least one would-be big spender has been turned away at the door for a sleeveless shirt. Collared shirt or a sleeved top, and you're fine. Grumble about it later if you like, plenty do.
Past that, it's a well-run club rather than a wild one. DJ-led EDM, serious lighting, a crowd that thickens as the night goes on. Doors are open from 22:00 to 04:00 every day, but nobody's dancing at ten, so aim for well after midnight. Draft beer towers are the standard group order and they suit the room, which is decorated to a higher standard than most of the strip. There's no food, so eat first. Drink prices sit at the higher end for Pattaya, and security is strict, which is largely why the night stays civilised.
I'd send groups here who want a real dancefloor without the chaos of the bars either side of it. If it's not your scene, you're thirty seconds from a dozen alternatives.

Reviews from Google
No.90 Club In The World. I had a fun night at Republic Club Pattaya on Walking Street, Pattaya. The music was energetic, the lighting was impressive, and the crowd was lively. Great place if you enjoy EDM and dancing with friends. However, security can be strict and prices are on the higher side. Overall, a good spot for party lovers.
The best club in Pattaya … I always come here 5 stars for all of staff music 🎶
"This place is beautifully decorated, yet they rejected me for wearing a sleeveless shirt when I was ready to order their most expensive bottle of whiskey a laughable, outdated policy that clashes with the modern, relaxed dress codes of trendy spots in New York, Paris, London, and Ibiza today.

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.
