Why go, and how to do it well
Situated on the bustling Bangla Road strip in Patong, this live music bar draws a mixed crowd of tourists and locals with what repeat visitors describe as some of the most energetic band performances in the area. The house band is a consistent highlight, known for strong crowd interaction and a high-energy set that keeps the atmosphere lively well into the night.
The venue operates as a straightforward bar with live performance as its centrepiece, making it better suited to those seeking entertainment and atmosphere over a quiet drink. The open-air setup means limited air-conditioning, so expect a warm environment on busy nights. Visitors should also be aware that card payments may attract an additional surcharge, and it is worth clarifying exactly what you are ordering when selecting bottles or premium drinks, as some reviewers have raised concerns about substituted products being served.

Probably the most energetic & fun band in Patong/Phuket. Anyone know what's the name of this band? The Star Live Music & Bar is so entertaining, but the only downside is lack of air-conditioning which I believed to keep the running cost down so that they can offer reasonable drinks. I read many reviews that if they don't continue to order drinks, they need to vacate the table or place - which to me it makes perfect sense since people are doing business and entertainment is not free. If don't feel like spending, stay in your hotel or don't travel. 😂
The best live band in Bangla Road, Patong. This band full of energy, good interaction with us, atmosphere at the top notch. Btw, whose know what the band name?
Terrible!! First of all the waitress was beside my table waiting me to order even I asked her to give me some time she didn’t leave. Then I asked to pay 4 drinks in my card (10% more what is already a lot!!!) but I would order 2 drinks later. She brought me the same drinks at the same time after I paid. How I’m supposed to drink some cocktail when is warm!??? The answer is always: we can’t do anything. They don’t understand what you say and then they blame you for the mistake.

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.
