Quick snapshot: Cuebar — what the numbers and locals say
Cuebar is a Phuket Old Town bar with a 4.4/5 aggregate rating from 335 reviews and sits at a moderate price level. Reviewers consistently highlight a social, evening-focused crowd; the place opens from 5:00 PM and closes at midnight most days, with Monday closed.
What reviewers consistently praise
- Owner presence and welcome: several visitors single out the owner, Mr Wood, as a positive influence on the atmosphere.
- Friendly, accommodating staff across multiple visits — many reviewers noted attentive service that makes the place feel like a local favourite.
- Strong social vibe: guests report meeting new people easily and calling Cuebar their favourite or the best night out in Old Town.
Food and drink notes extracted from visits
- Burgers receive explicit praise for quality.
- Onion rings are described as a standout side.
- There is a rooftop BBQ offering mentioned by guests.
- One reviewer reports finding some of the cheapest beer prices in the area, citing 90 baht for a beer.
- As a spending benchmark, a pair of visits totalled 1,400 baht for one guest.
Entertainment and layout details visitors mention
Live music runs for a couple of hours on the nights several reviewers attended, creating a programmed evening rather than a background soundtrack. The downstairs pool table is a focal point for interaction, operated with a winner-stays-on dynamic that encourages pick-up games and group play.
Service contradictions you should know about
Guest reports split on hospitality. Multiple reviews praise staff attentiveness, but one recent visit described a specific escalation: a ball stuck after inserting a 20 baht coin required asking staff for a key, and the interaction turned aggressive with one female staff member while a male bartender/server salvaged the experience. That reviewer reported a fine first visit and a poor second visit, signaling inconsistent service rather than uniformly bad staff.
Practical access and policy details
- Payment: credit and debit cards are accepted, and NFC payments are supported.
- Pets are not permitted inside.
- The entrance is not wheelchair accessible, so plan accordingly if mobility access is required.
Who benefits most from a visit — and one tactical tip
- Best fit: people who want an active evening with live music, social mingling, and casual games; groups and solo travellers who enjoy joining others for pool tend to get the most out of the place.
- Tactical tip: treat Cuebar as an evening-only outing. If you plan to play or catch the live set, expect the main activity window to fall after opening hours rather than midday.
Bottom line — honest recommendation
Cuebar is a social hub with solid food, budget-friendly beer, live music nights, and an interactive pool scene that draws regulars and visitors alike. The main downside is variable staff behaviour reported by at least one guest; the mix of glowing and critical accounts suggests good odds of a great night but a non-zero chance of an awkward service interaction. If you value atmosphere, late-afternoon to late-evening energy, and easy socializing, give Cuebar a try — just be prepared to judge the service on the night you arrive.
