Chit Hole Phuket Brewery

Tucked into Phuket Old Town on Takuapa Road, this craft brewpub stands out from the island's more tourist-heavy nightlife options by focusing on locally brewed beer and a genuinely laid-back atmosphere. It draws a mix of locals and visitors, particularly those with an interest in Thailand's growing craft beer scene, and has earned a strong reputation among travelers from beer-conscious regions like the Pacific Northwest of the United States. Guests can expect knowledgeable, welcoming staff who walk newcomers through the beer selection and offer tastes before committing to a full pour. Tasting options are available, making it easy to work through the range of house brews, which lean toward flavourful, hop-forward styles. A free pool table adds to the casual social energy, and the overall setting feels more like a neighborhood local than a polished bar — in the best sense. Good to know: It is worth checking ahead before visiting, especially if planning an early evening stop. The Phuket Old Town location makes it a natural fit when exploring the area's heritage streets, shophouses, and local dining. Casual dress is entirely appropriate, and the tasting flight is a practical starting point for first-time visitors.
