Word on the street
What locals are saying
The Bangkok Lounge earns its status as the most reliably chaotic good time on King Street — seven nights a week of themed karaoke (drag on Mondays, country on Wednesdays, hip-hop on Thursdays) anchored by host DJ Red, whose name comes up constantly as the reason crowds return. Eight frozen drink machines and a punch bowl called Bangkok Punch set the tone: this is a second-floor dive that knows exactly what it is, and charges accordingly. The LGBTQ-welcoming ethos and daily happy hour give it a distinct identity in a stretch of King Street otherwise dominated by sports bars and rooftop sippers.
