House Band Apple Jack

The beer and the entertainment flow freely seven nights a week at the Hua Hin Brewing Company. Situated right in the heart of the nightlife, at the Hilton Hotel, the venue hosts live local bands who perform Thai and western pop rock favourites in between DJ sets.

Although the beers are not brewed on the premises (they are brought in from Bangkok), the various tastes are unique to Hua Hin. Customers can choose between the Elephant Tusk Dark Ale, Sabai Sabai Wheat Ale, and Dancing Monkey Lager.

And if beer is not your thing, rely on prize winning bar manager Poompat Sit Chinpongpanich to mix you up a mouth watering cocktail.

The 32 year old recently won top honours for his creation Hua Hin Paradise , which consists of fresh mango, orange juice, sugar syrup, lime juice and mint leaves.

Every Friday and Saturday night the action gets a little hotter, with coyote dancers from Bangkok raising temperatures.

The Hua Hin Brewing Company is a multi level bar that provides air­conditioned comfort and an outdoor deck that is ideal for people watching.

Live sports are constantly screened, and there is a menu on hand that is designed to satisfy the heartiest appetite.
