Why go, and how to do it well
Skip Patong's beach bars and their beach-bar prices. This is a pub on Yaowarad Road in Phuket Old Town, the sort of place where nobody's working the door or shouting a happy hour at you, and the crowd is a mix of locals and people staying in town rather than by the sand. Mid-range prices, casual to the point of shabby-comfortable, and it suits a solo drinker at the bar as well as it does four people settling in for the evening.
The 10am opening is the useful bit. Old Town is a walking place, and after a couple of hours of heat and Sino-Portuguese shophouses you'll want somewhere to sit down with a cold one that isn't a café. Come back after dark and it turns into an evening spot without changing character much. My advice is to treat it as one stop in a Phuket Town night out rather than the whole plan. The heritage streets and the street food around Thalang Road are five minutes away.

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.
