Rider bar — Restaurant in Ko Samui

One of the absolute gems of Samui!

This bar is more than just a place to grab a drink, it’s an experience. The owner is a fantastic woman with incredible energy, warm, welcoming, and the kind of person who makes you feel like you’ve just walked into a friend’s home. She’s approachable, friendly, and treats every guest like part of the family.

The atmosphere is awesome, especially if you're into Harley Davidson culture, the walls are decked out with memorabilia that gives the place a unique, laid-back vibe. There's no food menu, but the drink selection is great and very reasonably priced. And if you happen to be there on the right night, one of the regulars might whip up something delicious for everyone, and trust me, he's an amazing cook!

The regular crowd here is just as friendly and welcoming as the owner, great people with lots of stories, laughs, and insider tips about Samui. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a returning for another, you'll feel right at home here. Can’t recommend it enough. Cheers to good vibes and...

Folks, if you're looking for a place on Koh Samui with a true rock 'n' roll spirit, then you absolutely have to go to Rider Bar! It's not just a bar, it's a whole vibe! You immediately feel that proper biker atmosphere – freedom, the open road, and good old rock. What grabs you right away, of course, is the music. You can totally go up and ask them to play your favorite track from YouTube, and that's awesome! No tired old playlists, only what really rocks. The prices, by the way, are a pleasant surprise – everything is very affordable, so you can relax and not worry about the bill. And they also have an incredibly cool barmaid working there! Not only does she mix amazing cocktails, but it's also a pleasure to chat with her – always positive, she creates such a soulful atmosphere that you don't want to leave. All in all, if you love rock, bikes, and just good human interaction over a tasty drink – Rider Bar is a must-visit. I wholeheartedly...

Became our local whilst in the area, met a few people who live in area and regularly visiting. So friendly and relaxed. The owner, Gai (I think that's how you spell it), is a beautiful soul and so welcoming, made you feel so welcome and like family. She is certainly doing her husband (RIP) very proud. I will miss Gai, her mum (so cute), her crazy cats, and...
