Rock Hard Phuket...the Rock
Thought I'd write a little something about one of the greatest nightlife places you can find in Thailand and the World for that matter. I've travelled the World for 20 years, so I thought I'd pass along some good information.
I lived in Thailand for 10 years so I believe this information is pretty solid based on pretty experience. Rock Hard Phuket, affectionately known as "The Rock" has been in business for over 20 years in Phuket, Thailand. Nestled right in the middle of the fabulous oasis known as Patong Beach, Rock Hard has more to offer than just booze and babes. You will find the largest collection of Rock and Roll anywhere in Thailand without a doubt. This coupled with the fact their DJs are very knowledgeable separates Rock Hard from other rock n roll bars. A full catalog of music is available for you to peruse through and pick out your favorite tracks. I personally have been to just about every bar you can think of Thailand and have found Rock Hard to be the most enjoyable for many reasons. The prices at Rock Hard are very reasonable and there is always a special drink price or happy hour for increased savings and more to spend on the girls. Speaking of the girls, they are absolutely gorgeous and very affordable as well. Being in the center of town, Rock Hard is like fly paper attracting all the best tail on the Island. Probably the best thing about Rock Hard is the knowledgeable foreigners working there and the ownership. They can tell you all the "do's and don'ts" in and around Thailand and probably get you more wasted than any other place in town at a fraction of the cost. There have been many nights I could barely walk out of the place due to all the complimentary drinks constantly paraded in front of me. I always made it back to my hotel room alright because the staff is truly concerned about your well being unlike many night spots in Thailand and around the World. Visit http://www.rockhardphuket.com for details, directions and "What's New" in and around Patong Beach which is updated on a daily basis. I guarantee you will truly enjoy Rock Hard and the many things it has to offer. Last edited by cmwkings : 11-09-2005 at 02:22. Reason: Addition

I'm proud to say I do know the Owner quite well. I have for 15 years but what I stated honestly holds true for those of you that know the place. I've run a couple establishments in Thailand during my time there and frequented hundreds of them. Infommercial or not, what I wrote holds true.

A quick mention might have worked , but I think the "Hard" sell is not doing the place any favours. And , yes I am a wanker.  , and a lot of other bars have great Rock n Roll music.

No need for name calling. It doesnt do much for me, have been in there numerous times, and the place has been empty and the girls have all looked bored shitless. But that the way things are in Patong at the moment.

Hi cmwkings,
Why not to have a deal with Nicke for advertising on his forum? Many of us use to recommand some places or services when it's an answer to a question, but make a thread in this optic is not the rule. This forum is free so it's normal that you can't advertise for free.... same it wouldn't be allowed to Nicke to advertise in Rock Hard for MTB, no?

I too cant really say I enjoy hard rock.. Times I visited girls seemd bored and going through the motions.. doesnt have the quality of Dragon or the 'up for it' madness of Suzy Wongs or Crazy Girls..
Add in a 600 baht barfine and girls that seem to think they command top rates (too many easily impressed punbters due to location) when they are not better than other mentioned places just means its somewhere I walk past each night.. Nothing really wrong with it, I am sure many people have had great nights there (just not me) but think its over rated compared to other gogo's in town.. Different strokes for different folks..

i like the place. been there both last year and was there some times this time. good place with aircon.. same time as you watch beautiful honeys dancing.. if i had a place like that in my homtown.. i would be sitting there most of the party nights.
but when you are in phuket.. there is so many moore places you want to be in.. i find the favourite in soi eric. they have great hostresses.. i remember last year (first time) when we go there.. every time we got same hostress.. and now.. they wuold not put other hostress at us when we arrive.. they still remember what hostress did serv us.. so thats a plus.. remember us by face and name.. and who knows who many customers passed us by? pricey girls it can be.. but if you just want sit and have a beer or drink its no problem.. its no hussle there. i like the place and will take visit next time also. for being a gogo in patong.. i think its best qualty girls working there // tim

The Rock
In the old days The rock was the place to have fun as well as the expat staff where always to help you.. JB runs a tight ship as well as when the famous big bill was around. Now adays the place is more like a show in motion.

Rock Hard
A friend of mine owns the place.
Larry is quite a guy- always up to something- 2 wifes- one Western and one Thai- always trying to get them in bed together with varying success- hes looking to buy another joint in south america- Costa Rica was the latest. Have a look at his 'photos' page I think he has a pick of me and some friends. Drew

I'll give another vote to Hard Rock - no girls(though I do remember Ood!) but great music of your own choice and a good atmosphere.

I am a fan of Rock Hard, and since 15 years. In fact I drink there every evening, I always have a bottle Black Label waiting for me, when I am in Patong. Now I switch between MTB and Rock Hard. Even come sometimes with some RH ladies to MTB.
-Barfines and ladies are quit expensive, but it is up to you. You can also have there a drink and get a lady at another place. Nobody pushes you. I barfine a lot of RH ladies. I am friend to a lot of them, but that makes it more difficult to butterfly. If I propose, they offer answer that I am with one of them, so butterflying is a no.  -I agree it is about the best music (for me) in Patong. Some may like other places better for the music. -Tim26, I know why you like the RH , although now you start butterflying. -Nicke, I sponsored wet T-shirt contests in RH. I did that together with an American friend Marvin whose birthday was 2 days before mine, so we had our birthday party together, on his birthday as on mine all bars are closed in Thailand (King’s birthday). -Drew, I did not know Larry got 2 wives. How can he manage as his Thai wife is living with him in California (together with their son)? He had a mia noi about 2 years ago but he dumped her (I saw here last trip in Rock Hard) and she was “very” pregnant, not sure if Lary was the father, difficult to ask). But maybe you were speaking about those 2 as you mentioned trying to get them in bed together.

I went in that place several times and also went quickly out of it.
Once I took a drink there. I was alone. Girls were average, and nobody seemed to notice me, wich is very unuasual in Phuket! The first time I went there was in x-mas season a few years ago. There I really saw a stunner (but not that "sympa"). I asked her how much it would be to take her out. She asked "4000 bath" ST! She did not care at all that I found that too much!No, not such a fan of thatplace. Kind of joint, you happy with indeed in your hometown, but not in phuket. Give me the warmth and the "bon acceuil" of MT bar any time!
