Why go, and how to do it well
Tucked away on the second floor of Fisherman's Village in Bo Put, this cocktail bar has carved out a serious reputation among cocktail enthusiasts visiting Koh Samui. The bar is led by hands-on ownership, with host and owner Pok known for personally walking guests through the menu and the thinking behind each drink. Nothing here is designed to be ordinary — the focus is firmly on experimental, ingredient-driven cocktails where unusual flavor combinations are the entire point.
Visitors can expect a polished yet relaxed atmosphere that sits comfortably apart from the louder, more commercial nightlife found elsewhere on the island. The cocktail menu leans creative and sophisticated, drawing on carefully considered ingredients that reward curious drinkers willing to try something outside the usual. Repeat visits are common, which speaks to the consistency of both the drinks and the hospitality. The venue is better suited to those who want to savor and explore rather than drink quickly and move on.

Reviews from Google
Pok was an amazing host and owner. He went over the drinks in great detail and let us know that nothing here is ordinary but rather has a creative twist which makes this bar, more of an experimental cocktail bar. We were also offered a complimentary shot, which made the birthday celebration even more special. He also provided us with a complimentary snack (bbq corn snacks) and they were phenomenal as well. We had the Slow Espresso Martini, Bee's Knees, and shared the Miami Vice as a dessert cocktail. Overall, would highly recommend Garnish Bar.
I had an amazing time at Garnish Bar! Their cocktails are top quality — every drink is crafted with creativity and made from unique ingredients that bring out incredible flavors. The taste is truly wonderful and full of surprises. The place itself has such a great vibe; it’s inspiring and fun to be there. I learned so much about new flavors and mixology, and now I just can’t wait to go back and try every drink on the menu!
Such a cool space, with even cooler drinks. Flavour combinations were so unique but worked so well with eachother. They’re not just bartenders there, they’re also scientists. Good vibes, good chips, great drinks. Worth your money.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
Know the Closing Times
Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.
Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously
Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
Arrange Your Ride Home
Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
