This long-running open-air hang-out gazes over the sea just west of Rawai's pier and offers reasonably priced beers and cocktails, as well as coffee, green tea and a good selection of shakes. A mango margarita, perhaps? If you’re hungry, there are wood-fired pizzas, international mains and a lot of seafood.
