It’s 2:30 a.m. in Bangkok (3:09 a.m. as of writing) and I’m walking out of a Kareoke bar dressed as Santa. Suddenly, next door, I see this place. They have no customers but did have a crap ton of NES, SNES N64, Wii U, PS4, Switch, and board games… $11.22 for the first hour and $4.21 for each successive a half hour…. And my friends keep asking when I’m moving back to America…
They didn’t ask me to promote this, I just want a local gamer bar to succeed.

damn it looks cool
I wonder how they will handle all the drunk tourists braking their hardware.
This looks absolutely awesome! I wish them the best of luck!
I’ve been trying get something like this going here in the States. Living in D.C. has been a bummer because everyone is so stuffy and doesn’t see the point. Plus we would have to close by 11.
This sounds like a lot of fun. My friend is marrying a woman originally from Thailand and will be traveling there sometime relatively soon. I should tag along and find this place 😆.
So, what games would be the best to play while drunk, I wonder.
Delicate electronics, projectile vomiting…what could go wrong?
Hold my beer.
I love this but I feel like that’s a big risk! I hope they have plans to mitigate theft, damage, and general disorderly conduct.
My friend was seriously wanting us to do the same, but in the UK
So we sat down and estimated expenses and risk.
You do realise that if you become popular, you may end up in serious loss. I hope the actual novelty is the loss leader and the drinks are super expemsive. There is no other way to do this for profit.
Come back in a month and informcus how much you’ve spent on repairs/replacements.
The only way I saw this being worth doing is putting the monitor in a plastic screen box, and wrap the keyboard and mouse in a plastic film. And only having to replace plastic covers is more cost efficient than replacing a whole ass computer.
What would be a good game to play while super hammered?
what a bad idea
All you can drink + thousands of dollars of vintage gaming hardware on the bar = match made in heaven.
I wonder how long it’ll be until someone dies in there and they gotta shut shop.
There’s a lot of work that needs to be done there man. It looks more like an IT shop. I do hope they find success though.
What’s this place called? Myself and my wife are going to be in Bangkok in March and would love to check this out
That’s cool, never heard anything like that from Bangcock
Wonder what it smells like in there lol
Welcome to the shit show.
No name? Or location?
Lot of people in the comments worried about vomiting apparently don’t know how to go out to a bar and just drink responsibly and have a good time
Barcades are a thing and so is Dave and Buster’s in the US. I know this isn’t exactly the same but people seem to think everyone who walks into this place will be vomiting, spilling, and stealing
Makes me wonder what I’m doing wrong on nights out lol
Good luck to ‘em!
This sounds like a bad time.
I WISH
You’re so real for this post. Respect.
Unlimited juice??
This party’s going to be off the hook!
Where is the address?! I need the address!
I feel like it would have been better to have the bar area separated from the gaming area
Outlets on the table and alcohol does not mix well. Kind of a hazard.
Expensive products and drunk people dont really mix well together, hope they wont have too much stress
That fucking dope as hell.
This is my favorite place from now on
The word “sticky” springs immediately to mind. Best of luck, though.
This is a recipe for disaster…
“This controller smells like barf”
Bro drunk people are going to smash shit.
I don’t think drinking and gaming is a great combination
This sounds like a horrible idea. In a year, I bet it’s closed, because its dumb as hell
1 puke/month is enough to make the business fail lol
ITT: people who’ve never been to bars before.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. All you can drink and all you can spill on circuit protectors. This has to be a joke right? It looks like if you gave a teenager 200k and 12 hours to set up a gaming bar.
You couldn’t pay me enough to bounce there and I’ve worked some seriously fucked up places.
All it takes is one FIFA, NBA or NFL group to come in and I’m going to be fighting for my life.
Someone is not very good at risk assessment
There is no universe where this ends well.
I feel like this would be great in America but it would have a lot of issues. Hygiene, for one. Not sure what two would be.
Seems like many people in the comment never leave their shitty home of a country to know how other civilization act.
This would not survive here unfortunately, I would drink more than $11.22 in drinks on the first 15 minutes.
all those peripherals are going to be so gross withing the first 20mins of opening. half will be broken by the 2nd hour. the bartender will get vomited on at the 4th hour. Bar shuts down by days end.
That’s gonna get spilled on
I’m sure nothing will ever get spilled
Novel idea. Not gonna make lots of money but hey at least the owner looked happy.
Sounds like an awful combination 😀
