9 Best Sports Bars in Phuket

Aussie Bar stretches over 2 floors, with a maximum capacity of up to 250 people, making it one of the largest bars on Bangla Road. True to its name, the bar has a particular focus on all things Australian, especially beer and sports. There are no less than 4 bars, 3 pool tables and dozens of large TVs showing live sports matches. 

The owner is an avid Australian Rules Football fan, but you'll be able to watch matches on rugby, English and European soccer, as well as motorsports, golf, tennis, boxing, American Football, basketball, and ice hockey.

A popular and long-established Irish pub in Karon, Angus O’Tool's Pub has a friendly atmosphere and serves international cuisine, a wide collection of draught beverages, live music and, most importantly, live sports on 2 100-inch projector screens and 5 flat-screen TVs. 

Being Irish-owned, Angus O’Tool's Pub leans towards more European sports tastes, including the English football leagues, rugby, cricket, boxing, UFC, horseracing, and motorsports. You can also catch Australian sports matches at this Karon pub.

Peppers Sports Bar has a pretty good English pub feel, with weekly quiz nights as well as typical pub grub.

Hooters Phuket is a world-renowned American bar in Patong, where international sports matches are aired on its 12 flat-screen TVs (including 5 around the circular bar).

You can also enjoy Australian and European games from time to time. Hooters Phuket has an excellent menu of American-style bar snacks and beers on tap.
