I found this gem of a bar about 2 years ago from the 1st day I walked in I was quickly welcomed in by the owner rolf he made me feel welcome, the prices are very reasonable and the staff are super quick once you squeeze the chicken. I have since been back multiple time and highly recommend making this a priority if your in lamai.

As a self proclaimed princess, it's worth stopping here for a drink just to use the elite bathroom 🙌🏻 fully air-conditioned, and the cleanest pub/bar facilities I've seen across Lamai!

This is a gem in Lamai. The owner and the rest of the staff are very friendly and take such good care of their guests. The owner often arranges activities like bar to bar rounds around the island, regular pool tournaments etc. Also any sport you want to see he will put on for you. The owner and his wife also has a restaurant right across the street called chaos cocktails and tapas bar. The Thai food there is simply amazing. If you’re ever in Lamai this bar is a must visit.

What a great spot for! We were welcomed so warmly and quickly got chatting with the owner after asking about snus — as you’d expect from a Scandinavian-style place. That’s how we met Lof, the owner. Naturally, as Estonians (almost Scandinavians!), we couldn’t resist a bit of friendly banter and snapped a funny photo with my friend Madis on the right (206cm) and Lof on the left. Definitely worth a visit — stop by and say hi to everyone!
