More Than a Bar — A Phuket State of Mind

Groov was born from a simple conviction: that the south of Phuket deserved more than another beachfront tourist trap. Nestled in the heart of Rawai, Phuket, our gastrobar opened its doors as a place where locals and travelers could meet over exceptional food, handcrafted cocktails, and music that actually moves you.

We built Groov around three obsessions — quality, creativity, and atmosphere. Every detail, from the art-inspired décor to the curated DJ sets, was designed to make you forget what time it is. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, closing a deal, or just discovering the best places to eat in Phuket for the first time, this is your table.

We are not just a restaurant in Rawai — we are a community. A living, breathing space where every evening writes a new story. Come be part of it.

Plates That Tell a Story

At Groov, food is not an afterthought — it is the whole point. Our menu is a love letter to bold flavors, drawing from global culinary traditions and grounding them in the freshest local Thai ingredients. Every dish is crafted to surprise, satisfy, and linger.

Meat lovers come to us from across the island for our premium cuts. The Wagyu Hanger, Black Angus Rib Eye, and slow-braised Lamb Shank have earned Groov a reputation as one of the top steak restaurants in Phuket. But our menu stretches far beyond the grill — from Red Tuna Tataki and Scallop Risotto to handmade pastas, artisanal pizzettas, and local Thai classics like Pad Kra Pao and Beef Massaman Curry.

Whatever you order, one thing is constant: only the finest ingredients, prepared with the kind of precision that turns dinner in Rawai into a memory you carry home.

Every Sip, a Signature

ocktails at Groov are not poured — they are composed. Our mixologists treat every glass as a canvas, blending premium spirits with tropical fruits, fresh herbs, and unexpected flavor pairings that you won't find anywhere else on the island.

Discover signature creations like Ring My Bael — hibiscus vodka, apple, elderflower and ginger ale — or the smoky depth of Smoke the Espadin. Prefer classics? Our Margaritas, Mojitos, and Porn Star Martinis are executed with the same precision and care as our originals, making Groov the go-to cocktail bar in Phuket for those who know the difference.

Paired with our food menu or enjoyed solo at the bar, every sip is designed to be the best part of your evening. Come for the food, stay for the drinks — or the other way around. We don't judge.

Art, Music & Good People — That's the Groov

Walk into Groov and the atmosphere does the talking. Art-inspired décor, warm tropical lighting, and a layout designed for both intimate dinners and lively celebrations — this is a space that adapts to your night, not the other way around.

From 8 PM to midnight, our resident DJs take the energy up a notch, turning Groov into one of the most vibrant nightlife spots in Rawai. Whether you're on a romantic date night in Phuket, marking a milestone birthday, or simply unwinding with friends after a day on the water, the mood here always feels exactly right.
