Aussie Bar anchors 9 Bangla Road, the first landmark off the beach end of Patong's main strip. Two floors, four bars, three pool tables, and a stated capacity of 250.
Phuket 101 calls it the island's iconic sports bar, and the official claim of oldest sports pub on Phuket has gone unchallenged.
Every code gets a screen: AFL, NRL, EPL, rugby union, boxing, NFL. If it kicks off at 3am Thailand time, the room is open for it.
A big open front facing Bangla Road with the serious screens deeper inside and the pool tables upstairs.
Hotels.com Go Guides rates it the obvious first stop for sport in Patong, and the street view seats double as the strip's best people watching post.
Australian tourists and expats by reflex, plus every other nationality that needs a screen on Bangla Road.
Daytime is calm: breakfast beers, pool, and reruns. The volume builds with the evening fixtures and peaks when the strip outside does.
The beach end of Bangla Road, two minutes from the sand. Tuk tuks know it by name.
