Bunga 90 a full-throttle, 1990s immersive playground to open in Covent Garden

Drury Lane site formerly known as Bunga Bunga will reopen as Bunga 90, a multi-sensory celebration of the decade that gave us dial-up, dial tones, and dialled-up fashion.

Following a full redesign, the venue will blend retro cocktails, pizza, karaoke, arcade games, and offbeat surprises,  all wrapped in wall-to-wall 90s nostalgia from 18 September. 

The experience starts at street level, with the façade transformed into a throwback video rental store stocked with VHS tapes, SEGA Megadrives, and looping movie trailers. Step through the ‘Adults Only’ curtain and into the PEPSI Time Machine, where a glitching VCR whisks guests into a 90s Anglo-American home, a teen bedroom plastered with posters, and finally the main bar, anchored by a towering wall of old-school TVs streaming music videos and cult ads.

Highlights include a giant arcade claw machine that mixes your cocktail (choose Bombay Sapphire gin, Bacardi rum, or Grey Goose vodka), a rare Jurassic Park pinball table, vintage arcade cabinets, and even London’s smallest “M25-style” warehouse rave, hidden in the toilets, complete with UV lights, smoke bursts, and glow sticks.

Drinks lean on reimagined 90s classics (Cosmos, Appletinis, Watermelon Margaritas, all £9) plus cocktails served in 90s icon vessels – think Britney, Will Smith, or a Nokia 3310 (£13).

The food menu keeps Bunga’s pizza heritage but dials up the indulgence with 20-inch American-style pizzas, nachos, garlic twists, and ‘chicken in a basket’.

Karaoke remains central, with two private rooms (90 mins for £99), open mic systems in the video store and toilets, and a central stage in the main bar for performances in front of up to 300 people.

Every Saturday, a Bottomless 90s Brunch (£45pp) serves cocktails or beer, starters, and giant pizzas for two, soundtracked by a live 90s covers band.
