Don't be scared, what initially looks like the extras from a Hieronymous Bosch painting collected in a stunning kaleidoscope of human failure is actually a little gem of a bar with really good and varied food far better than the normal pub fare in most locations let alone backwoods Thailand.

In my many months on Koh Tao I happily frequented Banyan Bar...it's tucked out of the way of the main beach which is perfect, it adds to its hilarious - albeit inappropriate - atmosphere.

Sunday Roast really good. Staff lovely. Not much more to say. Read the reviews on here, went there, turned out to be spot on. Nice atmosphere and mostly locals visiting (Western and Thai).
