This pub has just enough chaos to make it feel like a full night out. It’s loud, constantly moving, and full of vibes. The typical Los Angeles night out gets a serious arcade-style upgrade here in Koreatown, and once you’ve experienced it, a regular pub feels almost too chill in comparison.
The twist that makes it
At Chi Chi, every table is outfitted with a built-in tablet. You can scroll through the digital menu to order massive platters of crispy french fries and onion rings, or use the messaging feature to chat with groups across the bar.
The real appeal, however, lies in the head-to-head games. You can challenge one another to games ranging from digital rock, paper, scissors to a surprisingly intense pancake stacking match that will test your focus more than you’d ever expect after a few drinks. The stakes couldn’t be more satisfying: win the game, and your opponents pay for your drinks. It’s the kind of setup that turns a casual Tuesday into a rivalry.
Physical games are scattered throughout the venue as well. There are even claw machines and a photo booth that provide plenty of distraction away from the screens. Even waiting for a table manages to feel like part of the experience. The outdoor patio doubles as a full pre-game arena, complete with outdoor heaters, beer pong tables, and full beverage service — so by the time you step inside, you’re already warmed up, loosened up, and ready to take on the competition.
To handle the massive crowds, the space is split across three distinct floors. Down on the first and second levels, DJs keep the energy high. Those looking for a slightly quieter space can head up to the third floor, which dials back the noise and includes private rooms for events. Doesn’t it sound like paradise? Head to Chi Chi on your next night out!
