Our Take on The Penalty Spot
The Penalty Spot has held its corner of Sukhumvit Road between Soi 27 and Soi 29 since 2008, four minutes on foot from Asoke BTS and Sukhumvit MRT. The pub's own site counts three large projector screens and ten widescreen HD televisions across two floors, which puts it among the better equipped match rooms in the district.
The atmosphere runs English pub, with billiards upstairs and a crowd that mixes German and British expats. One of the owners is German, so the Bundesliga gets equal billing with the Premier League and the kitchen backs it with schnitzel and sausages alongside Thai plates.
The rhythm of the night is set. Doors open at 2pm with happy hour through 8pm, a live band plays from 7pm, and a second band takes the late shift at 10pm once the early fixtures wrap.
Within the spread of sports bars in Bangkok, The Penalty Spot earns its slot as the multi screen room south of Asoke. Take the projector floor for the match and drift to the music after the final whistle.
What to Order
What Regulars Say
- The pub's own pages emphasize the two floor screen count: three projectors and ten HD widescreens.
- Tripadvisor reviewers describe it plainly as a sports bar that delivers the fixture, with billiards while you wait.
- Regulars time arrivals around the 7pm and 10pm live sets, since the music shares the room with the sport.
