The Loof Bar&Co.

4.8(307 reviews)

Perched above Thanon Talang in the heart of Phuket Old Town, this rooftop bar offers a relaxed escape from the island's busier beach resort scene. The elevated setting delivers views over the historic streetscape below, with guests able to spot the night market from above — a perspective that sets it apart from most drinking spots in Phuket. The cocktail menu is a genuine draw, with signature creations alongside crowd-pleasers like Tokyo Tea and lychee mojito earning consistent praise from visitors. The atmosphere leans laid-back rather than high-energy, with comfortable seating, good music, and staff — particularly a team member named Nut, frequently mentioned by name in reviews — known for being attentive and genuinely welcoming. Live music adds to the ambience on certain evenings, making it a solid choice for a social night out without the intensity of a club setting. Good to know: Rooftop seating with old town views is limited to just two tables, so arriving early in the evening is advisable if securing that spot is a priority. The venue sits in the cultural quarter of Phuket rather than near any beach, so plan to travel by taxi or tuk-tuk. Its location among heritage shophouses, local restaurants, and galleries makes it a natural stop when exploring the old town area after dark.

We had a lovely time at Loof and was kindly served by friendly Nut who took time to chat with us. Vibes was so chill and we had such a great time here! Would recommend to anyone in Phuket looking to have some drinks and chill out. 👍🏼

Chill vibes on too of phuket old town, good drinks good people good service. We were taken care of by Nut who was very friendly to us. Limited only 2 tables if you want the view of the old town on the outside tables.

I really suggest this rooftop bar in old town Phuket…the cocktails are very good and the staff is very nice!!! The location is really intimate and the view is amazing they also have live music!! Love it xx

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.
