Angus O'Tool's Irish Pub, Restaurant, Guesthouse

On Patak Road in Karon, about a 10-minute walk from the sand, Angus O’Tool’s delivers the classic Irish pub fix: proper fry-ups, steak-and-Guinness pie, fish & chips, and cold draughts. Big screens carry live Premier League and rugby with sound, and the air-con dining room is a welcome break from Phuket heat. The vibe skews expat-meets-holidaymaker—friendly staff, quick plates, and no Karon price shock. Rooms upstairs make it an easy base if you plan to watch the late match and roll straight to bed. Come for breakfast, stick around for kickoff, and end with bangers & mash before lights out.
