COOLIES CLUB
Tucked along Soi Romanee in Phuket Old Town, Coolies Club is a cocktail bar and restaurant that stands out for its imaginative interior design and carefully crafted drinks menu. Visitors consistently highlight the venue's visual creativity, with a distinctive aesthetic that makes it as much an experience to explore as it is a place to drink. A notable car display outside signals the character within, and the thoughtful design extends throughout the space.
The drinks menu leans toward creative, well-executed cocktails, with reviewers praising both quality and presentation. Food is also available, though the bar side appears to be the main draw. The service is generally described as attentive and prompt, contributing to a relaxed but lively atmosphere. The crowd tends to be a mix of tourists and locals, and the venue sits conveniently among Phuket Old Town's broader dining and nightlife options.
Pricing sits noticeably above the local average for the area, with higher-quality ingredients and smaller portions reflecting a more considered approach than typical neighbourhood bars. One practical note: customising cocktails by swapping spirits may attract a premium charge, so it is worth checking with staff before making substitutions. As opening hours are not confirmed online, contacting the venue directly before visiting is advisable.

Reviews from Google
Coolies Club is a must-visit in Phuket Old Town. The atmosphere and design are incredibly creative, with every corner feeling photo-worthy. Drinks are excellent and thoughtfully crafted, making it a great spot to relax, take photos, and enjoy one of the most unique bars in the area.
I love the vibe! The aesthetic ambience is inviting, drinks are good as well as the service staffs. We haven’t tried the food though! Cool car display outside. #iamkbonita
The place is very nice and the cocktails are super interesting, but I asked to swap one liquor for another and they charged me 450 (the price of a cocktail) when other places charge 50-100.

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.
