Where to Watch the Game in Phuket?
Finding a good sports bar in Phuket isn’t hard. Finding the right one for your sport is trickier. We’ve been watching games across the island for years, from Premier League Saturday afternoons to UFC early mornings. Some bars have 60 screens. Others have two but get the atmosphere just right.
This list covers bars from Patong to Rawai, with honest details on screens, beer prices, and which sports they actually prioritise. Because nothing’s worse than showing up for the Arsenal match and finding AFL on every TV.
Aussie Bar Patong
| Location: Patong Beach |
Sixty-plus screens across two floors. You won’t miss any action here, and when multiple games run simultaneously, they’ve got you covered. The venue prioritises Australian sports, but the Premier League and Champions League get proper attention on the big screens.
Beer starts at 90 Baht for local brands. Food runs the standard pub fare, chicken parmi, meat pies, fish and chips, around 240 to 370 Baht. They open at 9 am, which catches afternoon Premier League kick-offs easily.
The atmosphere gets loud. Pool tables keep things busy between matches. Staff aren’t pushy, which makes a difference on Bangla Road where aggressive selling is common. Capacity is large enough that you’ll find a seat for most matches, though major finals pack out.
Location: Patong Beach
Best for: Multiple simultaneous matches, large groups
Address: 9/1 Bangla Rd, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150
Hours: 9 am – late
Beer: 90 Baht local, 100 Baht imported
Irish Bar Patong
| Location: Patong Beach |
This is Liverpool territory, and it doesn’t pretend otherwise.
Every goal from the Reds earns you free shots, the walls are covered in Anfield memorabilia, and the Kop atmosphere comes alive during every big match. The screens are genuinely large, the broadcast delay is zero, and the UK commentary blasts through crystal-clear. Opening at 2 PM means you’ll catch every evening kick-off comfortably. Half-time pies are homemade, keeping it proper Kopite style.
It’s partisan and proud of it. Wear a Manchester United shirt? Expect friendly abuse — but all football fans are welcome, with all Premier League matches shown. Champions League nights get electric, with the bar alive until 5 AM — perfect for late European fixtures.
Enjoy a Boss Night for the footy here, with Jamie Webster & Andy Hodgson blasting it out before & after games. We also have the Premier League Trophy and 6-Times Winners European Cup on display — perfect for photos to remember your night with us.
This is your Home Away From Home for all Kopites, your Anfield South, and your Kop away from Home.

Football shares attention with live Irish music most evenings. Audio for matches can be secondary when the band is playing. Guinness runs premium pricing, around 200-250 Baht. Local beers are 90-110 Baht.
The Sunday roast carvery is the main draw. Multiple roast meats, Yorkshire pudding, all the trimmings. If you want football with a proper meal in comfortable surroundings, this works. Just don’t expect a dedicated sports bar atmosphere.

Located on Sainamyen Road near Irish Bar Patong, it’s a short walk from Bangla Road but feels removed from the chaos. The atmosphere is friendly and no-nonsense. Recent reviews praise the coverage breadth and straightforward service.

The Yorkshire Patong
The biggest LED screen in Phuket sits poolside here, operating until 6 pm for daytime matches. Inside, multiple screens cover evening fixtures. They open at 8 am, earlier than most Patong sports bars, making it ideal for breakfast before afternoon games.
The venue is restaurant-first, sports bar second. Food quality is higher than typical pub grub. Full English breakfast, proper fish and chips, steaks. Kitchen closes at 9:30 pm, but the bar stays open. Featured games get sound priority.
You can request specific matches if screen space allows. The atmosphere is more formal than a dedicated sports bar, suited to families or anyone wanting a proper meal with their football.

Address: 169/16 Soi Sansabai, Rat-U-Thit 200 Pee Rd, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150

Horn Pub Sports Bar
La Liga gets proper attention here alongside Premier League. The owner Paul is a genuine sports fan, particularly passionate about combat sports but knowledgeable about football too. Staff accommodate channel requests during quieter periods.
The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. LGBTQ+ inclusive with friendly service and no hassle. Mix of backpackers, tourists, and local expats creates a social environment. Buy-one-get-one beer deals appear frequently.
Located near the OTOP market area, it’s minutes from Bangla Road but feels different. Opens at 2 pm and runs until 3 am. Good option for Spanish football fans who struggle to find venues that care about anything beyond Premier League.
Location: Patong Beach

Hours: 2 pm – 3 am

Legends Sports Bar
Australian-owned bar tucked away on Soi Eden, opposite the Ibis Hotel. About 150 metres from Patong Beach, it’s quieter than Bangla Road venues. Happy hour runs 5 to 7 pm daily. The Friday Chase-the-Ace competition adds something different.
Premier League coverage is reliable, though Australian sports take priority during AFL and NRL season. Pool table and dart board fill gaps between matches. The crowd is mostly expats and regulars who’ve found their local.
Food focuses on burgers and pies. The atmosphere is a relaxed pub rather than a sports bar. Opens at 9 am, so afternoon games are covered. Good option if you’re staying in the Soi Eden area and want somewhere close without the Bangla Road circus.
Location: Patong Beach
Best for: Quieter alternative, expat crowd
Address: 15/8 Soi Eden, Chaloemphrakiat Rd, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150
Hours: 9 am – midnight
Beer: 100-180 Baht
Rosco’s Restaurant & Sports Bar
The hidden gem for budget-conscious football fans. Beer runs 80-90 Baht, cheaper than anywhere else on this list. Home-cooked food includes proper pies, stews, and fish and chips. Located on a back road near the Novotel, away from tourist areas.
The crowd is local expats who’ve discovered the value. AFL and NRL get coverage alongside football. It’s not fancy, no giant screens or surround sound, but the atmosphere is authentic, and the prices are right.
You’ll need to know where you’re going. It’s not a place you’ll stumble across. But if saving money matters and you don’t need the Bangla Road experience, Rosco’s delivers.
Location: Patong Beach
Best for: Budget viewing, authentic local atmosphere
Address: Back road near Novotel, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150
Hours: Daily
Beer: 80-90 Baht

Barfunk Phuket
Upscale sports bar with giant HD screens and proper surround sound. The happy hour deal is excellent, 80 Baht beers until 8 pm, which covers most early evening kick-offs perfectly. After 8 pm, prices jump to 180-250 Baht.
The atmosphere is lounge-meets-sports-bar. Staff are professional and not pushy, a welcome change from typical Bangla Road venues. Table reservations are available for big matches with minimum spends ranging from 1,500 to 15,000 Baht depending on table size.
Premier League, Champions League, and Europa League all get coverage. The air-conditioned lounge area is comfortable for long matches. If you want guaranteed seating for a final or derby, book ahead. Walk-ins work fine for regular fixtures.
Location: Patong Beach
Best for: Upscale atmosphere, guaranteed seating for big matches
Address: 11 Bangla Rd, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150
Hours: 10 am – 4 am
Beer: 80 Baht happy hour, 180-250 Baht regular
The Beatles Sports Bar
Despite the name, this is football headquarters. Three 65-inch screens with panoramic viewing angles, full surround sound with UK commentary, and a neutral stance that welcomes supporters of every club. They call themselves the home of Premier League football in Patong, and recent visitors agree.
The bar opened in the OTOP market area, about a 10-minute walk from Bangla Road. Serie A gets proper coverage here too, not just token late-night screenings. Staff get consistently good reviews, with regulars mentioning Matty, Lou, May, and Ying by name.
Free shots when the featured team scores adds to the atmosphere. The crowd is mixed, tourists and expats who want to watch football without tribal allegiances getting in the way. Opens at 2 pm and runs until 4 am.
Location: Patong Beach
Best for: Neutral fans, Serie A, all Premier League matches
Address: OTOP Markets, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150
Hours: 2 pm – 4 am
Beer: Standard Patong pricing
Around Phuket Island
The Clubhouse Sports Bar Rawai
Down in Rawai, The Clubhouse has quietly built the south’s best sports setup. Twenty-plus quality screens, hundreds of channels, and they’ll open at 8 am for UFC prelims. The investment in equipment shows.
MotoGP and F1 fans appreciate the motorsport coverage here. The bar takes these events seriously, not just as filler between football matches. Pool tables and occasional live music add variety when nothing major is showing.
Service can slip during packed UFC nights, that’s the honest feedback. Arrive when doors open for big fights. The food covers both Western pub style and Thai options, nothing remarkable, but solid enough.
For anyone staying in Rawai or Chalong, this saves the trek to Patong. The atmosphere is comfortable rather than rowdy, attracting local expats who’ve found their regular spot.
Location: Rawai Beach
Best for: UFC, Formula 1, MotoGP, multi-screen sports
Address: 78 Soi Naya, Wiset Rd, Rawai, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83130
Hours: Opens 8 am for major UFC events
Peppers English Pub Bang Tao
Peppers has become an institution near Laguna. One giant screen plus five or six smaller TVs cover the Premier League, F1, UFC, cricket, and rugby. The Sunday roast pulls crowds who aren’t even watching sport.
They open at 7 am for UFC prelims, which shows commitment. The steak and ale pie outsells everything else on the menu. Wednesday pub quiz nights and Saturday live music add to the community feel.
Prices run slightly higher than in Patong; you’re paying for the Laguna area. But the atmosphere is family-friendly by day and packed with expats during evening matches. Staff get consistently good reviews, though occasional attitude complaints surface.
Book ahead for major games. This is the default spot for Bang Tao residents, and they know it.
Location: Bang Tao Beach
Best for: Premier League, UFC early mornings, family dining with sports
Address: 382/10-11 Moo 1, Srisoonthorn Rd, Cherngtalay, Thalang District, Phuket 83110
Hours: 9 am – 1 am (7 am for UFC)
Coffee Cycle Chalong
Here’s the hidden gem. Coffee Cycle opens at 6:30 am, earlier than anywhere else in Phuket. That catches the earliest UK kick-offs and UFC prelims before other bars even unlock their doors. The real draw is pricing. All bottles, Leo, Chang, and Tiger, run 60 Baht until 7 pm. That’s cheaper than most happy hours elsewhere. The big breakfast costs 270 Baht and includes everything. Burgers are 220 Baht. These are proper budget-friendly prices.
Four screens in an air-conditioned space won’t impress anyone coming from Aussie Bar’s 60-screen setup. But the atmosphere is relaxed, family-oriented, and completely free of bar girls. The crowd is local expats who’ve discovered the value.
If you’re staying in Chalong and want to watch early games without the Patong circus, this is your spot.
Location: Chalong
Best for: Early morning Premier League, budget-conscious sports fans
Address: Click Plaza, 43/85 Sunrise Rd, Moo 5, Rawai, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83130
Hours: 6:30 am – 8 pm (Sundays until 4 pm)
Walkabout Sports Bar Karon
Karon’s best sports option has 11 screens, including a 75-inch main display. The bar caters equally to NRL and AFL supporters without bias, which keeps everyone happy during the Australian football season. Tiger draft goes for 60 Baht in a proper chilled schooner glass. That’s excellent value. The food menu is limited to burgers and fries when the cook’s around, but quality stays consistent.
The atmosphere is a friendly neighbourhood pub rather than a tourist sports bar. A pool table and a dart board fill the gaps between matches. For anyone staying in Karon or Kata, this saves the taxi to Patong. All Premier League games show live. The venue is smaller than Patong’s alternatives, so arrive early for big matches.
Location: Karon Beach
Best for: Australian sports, Premier League, friendly pub atmosphere
Address: Karon Beach, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83100
Hours: Daily
Hooters Phuket
The American chain brings its familiar formula to Patong. Multiple large screens, strong UFC and NFL coverage, and those wings everyone either loves or dismisses. On Wednesday, all-you-can-eat wings for 449 Baht is genuinely good value.
Opening at noon means you’ll miss the earliest European games. The Sports Cave’s private area works for group bookings. The atmosphere is lively, family-friendly by day, louder at night.
Burgers run 499 to 619 Baht, higher than local spots. Local beers cost 100 to 150 Baht. You’re paying Hooters prices, which reflects the brand and location near Radisson RED.
American sports fans will feel at home here. NBA, NFL, and UFC get priority treatment. The service matches what you’d expect from the chain, consistent if formulaic.
Location: Patong Beach
Best for: UFC, American sports, wings
Address: 48 Ruam Jai Rd, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150
Hours: 12 pm – 2 am
Legends Sports Bar Patong
Legends is 150 metres from Patong Beach, running a happy hour from 5 to 7 pm daily. The beer bucket deal at 390 Baht all day offers solid value. BBQ ribs and fish tacos headline the food menu. The bar opens at 9 am, covering afternoon games comfortably. For UFC that runs past closing time, they show replays from 10 am Sunday. Not ideal for hardcore fans who want it live, but practical.
Coverage spans AFL, rugby, football, NBA, NHL, F1, EPL, and cricket. The Friday “Chase-the-Ace” competition from 4 to 7 pm adds something different. Pool tables and dart boards fill the space.
The atmosphere is relaxed but energetic. It’s a reliable choice without being spectacular.
Location: Patong Beach
Best for: Multi-sport fans, happy hour value
Address: 15/8 Chaloemphrakiat Rd, Soi Eden, Pa Tong, Kathu District, Phuket 83150
Hours: 9 am – 1 am
Kamala Beergarden
Kamala’s most popular expat hangout combines multiple screens with strong rugby and AFL coverage. Beer costs 100 Baht standard for Chang, Heineken, Singha, or Asahi. The Sunday roast draws regulars regardless of what’s showing.
The atmosphere feels welcoming rather than intense. Live bands, pool tournaments, and themed nights add variety beyond sports. Baja-style tacos and BBQ spare ribs lead the food menu.
This works best for expats and visitors staying in Kamala who want sports without travelling to Patong. The crowd knows each other. New faces get included rather than ignored.
Rugby fans particularly appreciate the coverage here. Six Nations and international matches get proper attention. It’s not the biggest setup, but the community feel compensates.
Location: Kamala Beach
Best for: Rugby, AFL, expat community atmosphere
Address: Kamala Beach, Kathu District, Phuket 83150
Hours: Daily
Cue Bar Phuket Town
Phuket Town’s only serious sports option splits across two levels. The ground floor has large HD screens, air conditioning, and a pool table. The rooftop bar offers Old Town views with Thai music and a completely different vibe.
Opening at 5 pm means daytime games aren’t happening here. Football, rugby, and motorsports get primary coverage. Spicy chicken wings and beef sliders suit the bar atmosphere.
The location gives you something different. Instead of beach-area tourists, you’ll find a more local crowd. After the match, you’re in Old Town with proper restaurants and bars within walking distance.
It won’t suit everyone. Limited hours anda smaller setup count against it. But for anyone staying in Phuket Town, it beats the 45-minute drive to Patong.
Location: Phuket Town
Best for: Phuket Town visitors, unique rooftop experience
Address: 94 Phangnga Rd, Talat Yai, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000
Hours: 5 pm – midnight (closed Mondays)
