Poseidon Pub is a well-known entertainment venue in Praram 9 (Rama 9), another downtown hood in Bangkok. But with business affected by COVID-19 with it having to be temporarily closed, it has now resurrected itself with a twist to survive amid this world crisis.


This pub now serves food instead


Massage parlours and night venues were temporarily closed since the State of Emergency and a curfew were put in place. The good news is that some businesses can resume as per normal, such as restaurants and cafes. However, entertainment venues are still seen as a hotspot for potential transmissions and have many safety measures put into place.

Known before for its karaoke booths and dance floor, Poseidon Pub has now transformed itself into a restaurant with a delivery service to boot, to serve Bangkokians during this time.
