Introduction
I recently visited “The Shack Bar,” a bar located in the large pool at the Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya, and I’d like to share my review.
The Shack Bar at Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya
Hard Rock Hotel Pattaya boasts a large swimming pool with slides, making it one of the more substantial hotel pools in Pattaya. Contrary to the “Hard Rock” image, it’s a very family-friendly hotel, which I’ll cover in a separate review.
Nestled within this expansive pool area is “The Shack Bar.” It features two counters and offers an unusual seating arrangement where you can enjoy drinks while partially submerged in the water. This bar was bustling with cheerful ladies and gentlemen enjoying their drinks. While it was my first time experiencing a swim-up bar, the unique atmosphere added a special touch.
The Shack Bar Menu (Photos, Prices, Review)
Happily, there’s a happy hour every day from 4 PM to 6 PM, offering buy-one-get-one deals on select cocktails and beers! This only enhanced the already delightful resort mood.
I tried several beers and cocktails. The “Shirley Hell” cocktail was particularly delicious. During happy hour, it cost 290 THB for two. If my memory serves me correctly, it’s a mix of vodka, cherry rum, ginger ale, lemon juice, and lime, topped with a cherry. It was so good that I finished each glass in about 10 minutes!
It also seemed possible to order food like pizza and pasta for delivery to your room.
Recommendation Score for The Shack Bar
Since I only had drinks, there is no score.
