About
Dao Bar is an adult-oriented bar on Boonsampan 3/1 Alley in East Pattaya’s Darkside. CheersPattaya lists it as open from 13:00 until midnight, and a visitor report from November 2025 confirms a residential-area venue with a pool table. This is a deliberately different proposition from a central Pattaya bar crawl.
When it makes sense
The published beer promotion runs from 13:00 to 17:00, and the venue lists a Tuesday Killer Pool tournament from 16:00. Those are useful reasons to make a daytime or early-evening stop, but neither should be treated as permanent. Check current opening and event details before setting out.
What to expect
The visitor report describes comfortable seating, regulars, and a quieter afternoon atmosphere. It also makes clear that this is adult nightlife. The bar is therefore a reasonable fit for adults already exploring the Darkside who want a pool table and a drink, not for a general restaurant outing.
Practical recommendation
Choose Dao Bar if the route already includes East Pattaya and a low-key afternoon pool stop is more useful than the centre’s busy strips. Skip it if transport is inconvenient or a conventional pub meal is the priority. The address and stated hours are well supported; the day-to-day offer deserves a direct check.

More planning notes

- Dao Bar is away from central Pattaya's main nightlife streets, so it works better when already on the Darkside.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Dao Bar in Pattaya?
Dao Bar is on Boonsampan 3/1 Alley in East Pattaya's Darkside area. CheersPattaya gives that address, and a November 2025 visitor describes it as being in a residential setting rather than on a central nightlife strip. It is best approached as a Darkside stop, not as a walk from Beach Road.
What are Dao Bar's opening hours?
CheersPattaya lists Dao Bar as open daily from 13:00 until midnight. The same page lists a beer promotion from 13:00 to 17:00 and a Tuesday Killer Pool tournament from 16:00. Schedules and promotions can change, so verify directly before planning around either one.
Does Dao Bar have a pool table?
Yes. CheersPattaya lists a Tuesday Killer Pool tournament, and a dated November 2025 visit report also notes a pool table. That makes it a reasonable choice for a game while already on the Darkside, though event participation and table availability should not be assumed without checking.
What sort of bar is Dao Bar?
Dao Bar is an adult-oriented bar rather than a general family pub. A 2025 visitor report describes a comfortable interior and an afternoon crowd, while CheersPattaya categorises it as a Darkside bar. Choose it for that specific nightlife format and skip it for a standard restaurant or a beach-area drink.
Is Dao Bar convenient from central Pattaya?
Dao Bar is not in the central beach or Walking Street zone: it is on Boonsampan 3/1 Alley in East Pattaya. Make it part of a Darkside itinerary, particularly if a daytime beer or pool stop suits the plan. It is less practical as a last-minute diversion from the beach.
