Theme bars are not a new concept, and Patong certainly has its fair share of venues which attempt to present a certain theme or concept. However, none of them does it with as much style as Nicky’s Handle Bar. Where most them bars are happy to decorate in the right colors, hang a few pictures on the wall and then call themselves a theme bar, Nicky’s Handle Bar goes the whole hog, quite literally, as this is a Harley Davidson themed bar. If you are in to hogs, rock music and good fun, then Nicky’s Handle Bar is for you.

The original plan for Nicky’s Handle Bar was simply to become a biker’s bar. However, the concept proved immensely popular with not only the bikers crowd, but the general public as well, both tourists and local Thai people. This has seen the venue steadily becoming one of the best bars in Patong.

Behind the bar is a Harley Davidson themed hotel which has recently opened. Nicky’s Handle Bar also offers Harley Davidson tours for new and experienced riders alike.

The food is of good quality, standard pub food but presented well and at a good price, although this is not a gourmet restaurant and does not claim to be. What it does aim to be is a fun biker bar, with friendly service and even friendlier clientele, which it achieves.
