‘The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club.’ The 1999 film Fight Club may ban the subject, but Bartender Fight gives Bangkok plenty to talk about.

Nobody is entering this ring out of anger. By night, these bartenders pour drinks, hear strangers’ stories and build community from behind the bar. At Bartender Fight, they strap on head guards and gloves, then climb into the ring for the honour of the venues they represent.

The Muay Thai spirit is central: every punch carries discipline, respect and heart. The opponents begin in opposite corners, but the final bell leaves more than a winner  – it celebrates the friendship forged in the ring.

Bartender Fight Vol.2 stages 11 matches, each lasting one three-minute round. The first bout begins at 9.30pm and the last is scheduled for 11.25pm.  The card brings together bartenders from across Asia, including Speak Low Shanghai, venues from the Asia Today group and other leading regional names. Winners pose for photographs before the after-party takes over.
