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.

Great bar / restaurant, I’m surprised it isn’t packed The drinks were excellent, service was quick and the vibe was very cool Highly recommend for anyone in Phuket, particularly if you’re visiting the old town you should swing by
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

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.
