A night out with friends

One night that suits everyone.

For a group of friends in Pattaya, pick places where everyone finds something: Tree Town’s bars and stages, a beach club that takes bookings, such as Pullman’s (book Monday to Thursday), or a sports bar with 20 to 30 screens. Check ages: the drinking age is 20, and venues set their own door rules. Keep one bill, and get home by Grab, which has vans (checked 1 October 2026).

Places that suit everyone

Tree Town, off Soi Buakhao, is a covered arcade of small bars, food stalls and live stages: Pattaya.Guide describes it as working for a group that wants to sit down and move between bars without leaving. For a group split between the match and the music, Soi Buakhao has Pattaya Sports Bar, with more than 30 screens, and Rock Factory, with a band every night, on the same road.

Book the day

Daybeds for the group at The Beach Club at Pullman need booking from Monday to Thursday; at the weekend it is first come, first served. LAY Beach Club on the main beach takes bookings online.

Ages at the door

Not every group is all over 20, and three different rules apply. The legal drinking age is 20 (Thailand.go.th, May 2026). Venues licensed under the Entertainment Place Act must not admit anyone under 20. And each venue sets its own door policy: Hard Rock Cafe is 20 and over only after 22:00, and Sina takes guests from 14 with a parent or guardian until 18:00. Plan the night so nobody is left at a door; more on dress codes and entry.

Sina is reached only by boat, and its own FAQ says the transfer is not recommended for guests aged 70 or over, expectant mothers, or anyone with injuries, reduced mobility or disabilities that make boarding difficult; ask Sina on LINE, @sinabeachclub, before you book (checked 2 October 2026).

One bill

Keep the bill on one card or one person, and check it before paying; see what drinks cost. Hotel bars add 10% service and 7% VAT.

Getting everyone home

Grab has SUVs and vans for groups. Agree a meeting point before the night starts, in case phones die. See getting home.
