BRB in Chalong keeps six craft beers on tap, a mix of local and international brews, and lets you taste them before you choose. The fridge holds cans from around the world, and the owner and bartenders know the stock well enough to guide you. You are welcome to bring your own food or have it delivered, and a complimentary snack comes with your order.
“If you like stout, must come and try their draft beer!!”
Chit Hole is the Phuket Old Town taproom of Chit Beer, and the house beer is brewed in tanks inside the bar where you can watch it being made. Founder Wichit "Chit" Saiklao, an army colonel, released his first beer, a London porter, from Koh Kret island in the Chao Phraya River in 2012 and was fined eight times for brewing before lobbying for the 2023 loosening of Thailand's liquor law. The taps pour hop-forward house beers such as the NAIPA and Floral Paradise IPA next to beers from other Thai craft breweries, and the pool table and popcorn are free.
“The service is genuinely warm, attentive, and caring.”

How the points work
We read every independent published best-of list we can find for the question. Each list gives 10 points for first place, 9 for second, down to 1 for tenth, and 5 points to each place on a list with no order. Points are added up. A business must be in the top 10 of at least two lists to be ranked. Rankings are never sold. Full method.
Award badges
Each business in the top 3 can show its Phuket Ranked award on its own website, free of charge. Ask and we will send the badge and add it for you.
