Foo Bar, the new arcade bar offering a mix of new arcade games, retro arcade games and cocktails, describes its atmosphere as being “sarcastically bougie,” and says that it sets itself apart from other venues by not having “sticky floors or watered-down drinks.”
Included within the venue’s grand opening celebrations was a Halloween costume contest, where it awarded the funniest costume a prize of US$500. The winner attended the opening as a lamp.
The venue also includes a selection of pinball tables, featuring Jurassic Park, Stranger Things, Venom and John Wick.
“Need a break from responsibilities? Step inside Foo Bar – where retro classics meet today’s hits, cocktails actually slap and the vibes never drop,” Foo Bar said in a social media post.
