( 0 7627 0936; Hat Bang Thao; dishes 290-1290B; 6pm-1am)
One of the hippest spots on Phuket
where the 'infamous' come to sip cocktails, listen to breezy jazz and eat an excellent
meal. Siam Supper Club's menu is predominantly Western with gourmet pizzas, seafood
cioppino
(Italian-style seafood stew) and hearty mains such as truffle-honey roast chick-
en and Australian grass-fed rib eye.
PUB
BB's Pub
( 08 1787 5354; Moo 1, Laguna Phuket entrance; noon-1am)
The rickety 'ye olde codger's think-
ing bar' is reason enough for a round or two at this ageing Laguna standby. The pub grub
is decent. It has a pool table and a dartboard, and live music on Friday nights.
