De Sports Bar & Grill — quick take for sports fans in Phuket
Small sports bar attached to Tour De Phuket Hotel that aims squarely at event viewing. Reviews show it can deliver a solid pub vibe with a lot of screens and a wide drinks selection, but operational gaps — mainly streaming reliability and staff turnover — create a split experience. This review pulls only from guest reports to tell you exactly what to expect and how to visit smartly.
How good is it for watching live sport?
- Multiple screens: guests report about 5–6 TVs inside plus a few covered outdoor displays.
- Streaming problems: slow internet causes live feeds to freeze every couple of minutes and sometimes different sources show the same match with minutes of delay between screens.
- Staff can change channels on request, so asking an attentive team member to sync all screens improves the experience when it happens.
Drinks and food — what customers actually recommend
- Beer and cider: reviewers praise a huge cider selection and lots of bottled beers; draft Leo was specifically cited at 120 THB.
- Cocktails and mocktails: cocktails described as decent; one mocktail effort (Pina colada) was made by a waitress who seemed unsure but produced an acceptable drink.
- Bar bites: pizzas are singled out as the most consistently praised food item, while French fries are described as adequate for a bar snack.
- Price perception: being attached to a hotel nudges prices a little higher, but several guests still called food reasonable and the overall value acceptable.
Service and staff — expectation vs reality
Guest feedback is sharply divided. Some visitors describe friendly, professional teams; others report rapid staff turnover, a decline in service quality, and employees unfamiliar with the AV setup. The inconsistency appears to be the core issue — when experienced staff are on shift the night runs smoothly, and when inexperienced staff are present customers notice gaps in basic tasks like managing streams or serving efficiently.
Practical logistics you should know
- Parking: roadside parking only and space is limited; several reviews recommend getting dropped off instead of hunting for a spot.
- Restrooms: facilities are located in the adjacent hotel lobby, not inside the bar itself.
- Layout hazards: there are pool tables near seating areas and at least one guest experienced being bumped and having balls knocked off the table.
- Environment: reviewers note the venue is new, clean, and air-conditioned, suitable for small groups or solo visitors.
When should you go — and where to sit?
- For the most reliable viewing, aim for indoor seating and arrive early to pick a seat near the main bank of TVs.
- Avoid outdoor screens during high-demand events because reviewers specifically link outdoor viewing to the worst streaming interruptions.
- Sit away from the pool area if you want uninterrupted conversation or a family-friendly spot.
Bottom line — who should visit De Sports Bar & Grill?
Worth checking out if you live nearby or want a local spot to catch races, EPL matches, or other live events, especially if you prioritize a broad beer and cider selection and hotel-adjacent convenience. If flawless live streams and highly consistent service are must-haves, temper expectations: guests report intermittent internet and staff turnover that can spoil an otherwise promising setup.
Insider checklist before you go
- Call or ask on arrival to have all screens set to the same channel
- Request indoor seating near the main TVs
- Order pizza if you want a reliably praised food option
- Plan for a drop-off or short walk rather than expecting parking
- Be prepared to be patient with staff during busy shifts and consider returning on a different night if you encounter high turnover
Average guest rating lands around four stars, which matches the mixed but mostly positive reports: good potential, notable strengths, and a few operational fixes that would lift the experience to consistently excellent.
