Open and closed and open and closed again, 100-Bit Barcade has been weathering the Covid-19 pandemic storm but is now happy to once again be open to patrons who like a little Mario Kart and Mortal Kombat with their buzz.

Revamped and reopened, the Talat Noi must-play pub— located below the famed Foojohn jazz club—is officially open starting tonight. “COVID has been hard enough...now [you can] finally embrace your inner fun in Bangkok's only barcade,” owner Romain Dupuy says, adding that the big change in the current setup is that the arcades are the center of the business.

From a few arcade machines on the wall, patrons can now sit and drink while the game is projected on the wall as well as engage in a friendly punch-em-up at adjoining machines. 

Romain tells BK Magazine that the space will evolve into the daytime gaming business and the Retro game machines will become the core of 100-Bit; he also says both food and DJs will be returning soon. 

The drinks are fittingly named after video games. You’ve got the Tonic Sonic, Nintendo Tango, and X-Buster, but the Mario Sour is a real treat, a mix of strawberry, lime, and whiskey. All cocktails and Suntree beer are B200and Leo beers run B100.
