The Fool Speakeasy

Tucked away at 29 Chana Charoen Road, Talat Yai, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000, Thailand, The Fool Speakeasy offers more than just another cocktail stop—it delivers an immersive, symbolic experience. The venue occupies a renovated three-storey building in Phuket Old Town. The design reinforces the speakeasy vibe: hidden entrance, ambient lighting, rich materials and a mood of quiet exclusivity. What really sets this bar apart is the tarot-card inspired concept. The menu is structured around the 22 Major Arcana of the tarot deck. Each cocktail corresponds to a card (for instance: 0 The Fool, I The Magician, II The High Priestess, etc.). The idea: you draw (or select) a card, and you’re served the drink associated with it—and along the way you partake in the symbolism behind flavours and ingredients. Drinks are crafted with care: travel-site listings show that standard cocktail price starts at ~390 Thai baht for some of the tarot-cards drinks. Non-alcoholic creations also carry the same thematic depth: the “Pentacles”, “Swords”, “Cups”, “Wands” series offer mindful ingredients and storytelling. The atmosphere is built for conversation, contemplation and craft rather than loud dance-floor excess. That said, on select nights they host guest DJs and provide deeper party energy. Service is described as friendly, professional and willing to explain the story behind each drink. The setting appeals to guests who value both design and flavour—locals, travellers and cocktail-enthusiasts alike. In short: The Fool Speakeasy is a standout in Phuket Old Town for those wanting something elevated, themed and story-driven. It’s not just “go for a drink” but “go for an experience.”
