The Penalty Spot sits in Khlong Toei, Bangkok. Walk ins accepted, tables near the projectors go early.
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.
Late evening for European football, with happy hour from 2pm to 8pm covering the buildup and the early kickoffs.
Bundesliga and Premier League watchers, billiards players, and anyone who wants live music after the match without changing bars.
