“Hassle-free spot to enjoy sports- awesome staff and owner”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2012 NEW

I wasn't on holiday in Karon/Kata, I lived there for about 1 year. Tired of the beer/girly bars I was pleasantly suprised when I found Duke's. A sports fan or not, you can go there and always have a good time. My one outstanding comment has to be this: I was talking w/ the bartender (Pinky) and Mark about hard... More

“It's a very simple bar with a lot of TV screens.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2012

They do not have a kitchen. They order the food from some restaurants in the neighbourhood. Watching a F1 race for 90 mintes on a hard barstool? No thank you. But their staff is friendly. More

“Good fun bar - worth a visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2011

We've been to this bar during the day and there is a great friendly atmosphere. It is owned by an American couple but the Thai bar staff speak good English and are helpful and up for a good conversation if you are! You get free popcorn everytime you go to this bar which was a big plus point with my... More

Absolutely love Duke's!!! Almost every night of my trip, I was at Duke's where I felt so comfortable and met some awesome people: the owners, Mark and Karen, the regulars, the gals behind the bar and everyone in between. If you're looking for a normal bar to have an ICE cold beer (or a cocktail or two), watch sports and... More

Mark and the Girls at Dukes are by far the best hosts in Phuket, From the first visit you are made to feel welcome and nothing is too much trouble be it a food request ( great Thai food ) or finding any sport you may want to watch. No visit to Kata should be made without calling in to... More

Went here intending to get a few drinks before going elsewhere for dinner, but ended up staying for a meal. The food was good- we both got Thai dishes, and very cheap compared with other places in Kata. 60 TB per meal. Portions were smallish compared to other restaurants, but overall can't complain. More

Our food service partner offers a tasty and very affordable meal; it's hard to pass up their Phad Thai or daily made Spring Rolls. Their food is a great complement to our ice cold beer, free popcorn, and excellent sports coverage. Thanks for joining us in Kata. More
