On The Rocks Bar

4.6(109 reviews)$$$$

On The Rocks Bar sits within the Cape Nidhra Hotel on Phet Kasem Road and occupies an elevated position directly above the rocks at the southern end of Hua Hin Beach. The setting is the main draw — open-air seating looks out over the Gulf of Thailand, making it one of the better sunset vantage points in town. The drinks menu leans toward cocktails and wine, with food options to match rather than replace a full restaurant meal. With a 4.5 rating, service is considered attentive and the atmosphere is relaxed without dress requirements beyond resort casual. Worth visiting at least once for the view, particularly in the late afternoon.

Reviews from Google

We had our wedding lunch there which we’d been arranging with Add and their other staff. Add was extremely helpful, kind, organized. We (my new husband and I) and our guests told us how beautiful and place was as well as our table set up. The food: every course was served perfectly timed and was beautiful, fresh, and tasty. The service: we were well taken care of. We rarely had to ask for anything, as the staff could tell already and kindly did what was needed. Thanks so much to this beautiful place and their lovely staff!

What a spot! Nestles on the roof of the cape birds hotel, On The Rocks Bar has everything you’re looking for: good vibes, chill music, water views and delicious cocktails. Mr Pui shakes them expertly. Highly recommend it. If you’re on the budget, they do 2 happy hours every day!

Good breakfast , nice dinner, good view and good staff. Some dishes are too salty. Please check.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Learn the Spice Scale

Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
