Why the cocktails get repeated praise and which bartenders matter
Multiple guests singled out the drinks as a highlight; one called them the best cocktails in Phuket and several mentioned receiving strong recommendations from staff. Reviews repeatedly named Aon and Ing, and one reviewer also recommended Malee, which creates a clear pattern: the bar experience is highly bartending-driven.

Reader-focused analysis: what this means for your visit
- If you want a relaxed, sit-and-chat evening with high-quality cocktails, this bar matches that brief — the vibe and service comments line up with that aim.
- If you prioritize bartender skill and personalised recommendations, plan to arrive when staff can give attention; reviewers praised staff who took time on cocktails, so earlier evening may help avoid rushed service.
- If you’re staying at a nearby non-resort hotel, the bar is approachable for outside guests and not strictly an in-house property-only experience.
Final verdict and concise visiting checklist
- Why go: consistently praised cocktails and warm, attentive service make this a dependable choice in Kata.
- Pack this checklist: arrive between 7:00 AM and 11:00 PM, bring a card or use NFC to pay, park in the free lot, and ask for Aon, Ing or Malee if you want the reviewers’ recommended experience.
Reviewer-driven highlights power the verdict here: small team, repeatable quality, and an easy-access location make Canopy Tree Bar a safe bet for visitors seeking cocktails and a calm evening near Kata Avista Resort and surrounding hotels.
