Super fun! Lovely vibe, with live music, DJs, happy hour and an amazing view of the sunset. We have been a few times during our stay and there’s always lots going on. There are a few quiet corners if you don’t want to be in the hustle and bustle. Lovely staff, always smiling faces. 160 baht for two House spirits during happy hour too :)

Definitely one of the best bars in Koh Tao. We really enjoyed the nights with live music and some chilled people. Keep it up!

Had the best nights here! The NAP band is the best live band I‘ve ever seen. Also the DJ night was amazing. Definitely made my vacation there unforgettable.

Very nice location for a sundowner (2for1 margeritas from 5 to 6 pm). You shouldnt sit on the beanbags right on the beach because every dog that passes by pees on these pouches. Better go upstairs right to the bar on the right (when you come from the beach) and sit in the "front row" for sunset.

To be honest, I am not going to visit this place again EVER. Bad experience, bad service ughhh. I was there this week with a group of friends. Staffs were all busy and ignored to find us seats. We have to asked customers for empty chairs and arranged them by ourselves. That's one point. It's not the problem taking care ourselves, it's not that hard but just curious why none of your staffs care. I really wonder how you brief/train them. Or you don't?

AND as well, the guy at the bar, one of them was rude, he pretended not to here my order. I ordered three times both English and Thai, i'm pretty sure he heard me but don't give a shoot. Why? lol is this the way you treat customers?

Please as far as I know, it's not that hard to communicate with customers even you are busy OR I'm not sure if all of you are muted? NOT RECOMMENDED

Great party bar on Koh Tao but drinks prices are a bit eye watering. Loved the swing in the Sea!

Just about the worst margarita I've ever had. Being asked to pay right away was a nice cap on that.

I've been to Koh Tao many times and never came here before. I certainly wasn't missing out. It's too bad, because I love the diving outfit it's next to.

Edit to the owner's reply:

I am a "normal" person, thanks, and have never been asked to pay for each drink on Koh Tao, at least with "normal" bars.

Your poorly-trained bartender used twice the amount of ice with the normal amount of alcohol (which her coworker was certainly aware of based on the look of chagrin on his face as he put the straws in). Perhaps if the bar lead spent more time training her and less time flirting she would have done a better job.

And a reply to the owner's reply (I can keep doing this):

My complaint about being asked to pay immediately would not have been made had the drink been made properly. Twice the ice is not "more than the ideal amount." The bartender knew the drink sucked, and the bar lead knew the drink sucked. They served it anyway, and asked for immediate payment anyway (no written tab, just verbally). They knew they screwed up, and it wasn't my responsiblity to point out their error. I paid and left, so there wouldn't be a scene. I didn't want to embarrass her; it wasn't her fault she wasn't trained properly. It was the bar lead's fault that she was clearly hired for reasons other than drinkmaking skill.
