Bar No Name, Patong Beach — why 105 reviewers put this tiny place on their repeat list
Rated 4.8/5 from 105 reviews, this is a low-key seafront spot that consistently wins guests over with location, generous portions and value. Reviews show a clear split: most guests rave about the food and views; a small number flag seasoning errors and an occasional wrong dish. Read the details below to know exactly what to expect and how to avoid the few glitches.
Where is it and how you get there
Set at the northern end of Patong Beach, the place sits on a concrete platform built into the rocks past Diamond Cliff Resort. Guests describe going up a little hill to a post with the menu, then down rickety steps hewn out of the rocks to reach the platform. The footprint is intimate and built into the shoreline — bring steady shoes for the descent.
What the setup and atmosphere are really like
Expect nothing fancy: basic plastic chairs and tables, some even broken, a kitchen that’s essentially a shack and umbrellas over the seating. The trade-off is immediate: sand under your feet, direct sea views and a setting reviewers call superb for sunset. Families liked it because children can play on the adjacent stretch of beach.
Food and drink — the items guests actually ordered and how they judged them
- Commonly praised dishes: patang curry with shrimp and chicken in ginger, Tom Yum soup, coconut soup, fried rice with shrimp and green curry — multiple guests said these were the best they’d had in Patong and large enough that some couldn’t finish.
- Other menu items mentioned: Penang curry (one guest received green curry by mistake) and chicken satay.
- One notable complaint: a reviewer found the curry and chicken satay too salty and another reported being served the wrong curry; these appear to be isolated but real inconsistencies.
- Drink pricing reported by several guests: bottled beer 60 THB, smoothies and coffee 50–90 THB, glass of wine 150 THB, cocktails 170 THB. Guests noted the drinks are excellent value.
Service, practicalities and amenities
Staff are described as gracious, friendly and attentive, though English is not strong. A practical convenience noted by a guest is tap water available to clean up after beach time. Operating hours are daily 9:00 AM–8:00 PM. Payment supports NFC.
Contradictions worth knowing
Most reviewers consistently praise food quality and value; however one review reports both a wrong curry served and excessive salt on two dishes. That suggests the kitchen gets high marks overall but attention to specific orders and seasoning can vary — particularly when staff and language abilities create communication gaps.
Actionable tips from guest patterns
- Time your visit for late afternoon to catch the sea view and sunset — several guests singled out the setting for that reason.
- Confirm your curry type before the kitchen starts cooking to avoid the wrong dish being prepared.
- If you prefer low-salt preparation, ask staff to moderate seasoning; one reviewer’s experience indicates that’s occasionally needed.
- Use NFC payment if convenient; the bar supports it. Bring a mix of payment options if you want redundancy.
- Be careful on the access steps and leave room for kids to play on the sand while you sit — reviewers appreciated the family-friendly beach access.
Quick verdict
Bar No Name delivers a high-value, scenic Patong Beach experience: unpretentious seating, standout dishes many guests call the best in the area, and drink prices that feel fair. Expect occasional kitchen slip-ups tied to order accuracy and seasoning; a short confirmation before ordering removes most risk. If you value oceanfront views and honest food over polish, this is a must-try on the north end of Patong.
