Play.Lounge e-Games Bar @ Damansara Uptown, PJ

Have you ever wanted to buy a PS4 or Nintendo Switch so badly but just couldn't afford one? Here's the good news for you. Recently I found this e-Games bar, Play.Lounge where you can just play all the games you want without burning a hole in the wallet.

Located in the bustling neighbourhood of Damansara Uptown, Play.Lounge is Malaysia's first and only e-Games bar that brings both casual and professional gamers together for drinks, good food, and a wide range of e-Games such as Call of Duty, Need For Speed, over 645 arcade games and many more!

The location of Play.Lounge may be a little tricky for those who are not familiar with Damansara Uptown area. It is located along the row right opposite Texas Chicken, and you'll spot Play.Lounge's signage if you see Miru Dessert shop. 

Look at the wall paintings, so cool right? As Play.Lounge is situated on the first floor, all you need is to climb a flight of stairs to arrive at the gamers' heaven. 

There are several screens for you to play PS4 and Nintendo Switch with your friend. The best part is, you can play all you want with no minimum spending. Well, what's better than sipping on a cocktail or beer while gaming?

You can bring your friends along to play, or just play with the guests here. Making new friends is fun!

Calling all fans of arcade! Tucked at the corner of Play.Lounge, there are 2 arcade game machines where you can play up to 645 console games, without having to pay for any arcade coins! 

If you prefer drinking games instead, try the Beerpong with your friends!

And gigantic wooden Jenga too!

(Red) Deus Ex on the Beach @ RM25

Vodka peach schnapps, orange juice, cranberry juice

(Yellow) Galaga @ RM25

Tequila, triple sec, lime, sugar

House cocktails are aplenty here, each and every one is named after a game element. How quirky is that! Just tell the waitstaff your preference for alcohol and they will recommend one for you :)

Play.Lounge not only offers attractive packages for drinks but also a wide variety of cheap eats as well. I mean, where else can you get bar snack at only 10 ringgit?

Yoshi's Omelette @ RM10

We had the omelette filled with chicken bits as our starter -- something simple, savoury and great to pair with beer. 

Cyberboost Mixed Sausage Fry @ RM10

If you prefer a fiery kick, the hot and spicy sausage platter is for you!

Be warned, this can get you hooked once you start munching on the sausage.

Chicken Karate Chop @ RM16

When it comes to the main course, the western fare here is again, very affordable. My honey mustard grilled chicken chop is quite juicy although the greasiness can be slightly reduced. Served with a side of coleslaw and fries, you can pick your sauce among BBQ, black pepper or mushroom sauce too.

Aerith's Aglio E Olio (Prawns) @ RM20

Next up is the aglio olio served in a very generous portion. You may want to share it with your dining mates and avoid over-ordering. Slightly spicy, it exudes a lovely aroma of garlic, onions, herbs and spies.

Goopy Carbonara (Chicken) @ RM16

Play.Lounge is also a family-friendly place where you can bring your kid here to play the games while enjoying the comfort food here. The creamy pasta loaded with chicken breast strips may be a safer option for children who prefer something simple yet filling. 

Oh did I forget to mention that the beer packages here are super affordable too?
But if you prefer craft beers instead, try the Penang Craft Beer by Bay Bridge Brewery from the U.S!

Verdict:

Overall, Play.Lounge is a wallet-friendly place for unlimited games, cheap beers / cocktails, and well-portioned food. Ideal for hosting fun events / gatherings here too.
