Location: Not far from Ocean Plaza downtown, on a small soi between Tilok Utis 1 Road and Phuket Road

Music Matters, run by a local musician. It's is actually hiding behind a small restaurant that has long ivy at front. If you do end up at Music Matters, you’ll be treated to tracks from owner Jeff’s music collection.

The bar is normally quiet and stays open until whenever people decide to go home. For a quiet drink or for somewhere to sink a few after hours, this Phuket Town bar is perfect.

Music Matters is open-air with only about a half-dozen tables. On some nights, a group of Jeff’s buddies come together and form a makeshift band. Beer here is cheap. This is pure no-frills drinking, but it’s fun and it’s rare to find a bar like this in Phuket Town.
