Wizard Brewery

Wizard Brewery is Pattaya's most ambitious craft beer venue — a full on-premise microbrewery and restaurant tucked into Soi 14 off Pattaya 2nd Road, producing all of its beers in-house. The house tap list runs to 14 or more rotating selections, from hefe weissbier and pilsner to IPAs, pale ales, and seasonal brews that you won't find anywhere else in the city. The theatrical wizard-themed interior and live music programme give the place real energy, particularly at weekends when it draws a strong local and expat crowd.

The food menu is broad and eclectic — Thai, Italian, pizza, and the crowd-pleasing pork knuckle that nearly every table seems to order. Wizard's beers are also distributed in Bangkok and available in cans at bottle shops across Thailand, but the brewpub experience here is the reason to make the trip: fresh pours straight from the source in a venue that clearly has both craft quality and a good time firmly in mind.
