What used to be Bunga Bunga in Covent Garden has reopened its doors as Bunga 90 – an immersive celebration of the 1990s – and you have to experience it for yourself. The Drury Lane venue has been reimagined as a multi-sensory playground, offering retro cocktails and draft beers whilst, of course, keeping Bunga’s signature karaoke and pizza.
What to expect at Bunga 90
Setting the 90s tone, the ground-floor façade is styled as a nostalgic video rental store with a kaleidoscope of 90s references; shelves lined with VHS tapes, a PlayStation 1 and cardboard cutouts of the era. As the scent of popcorn fills the air guests are invited to step through the PEPSI Time Machine. Inserting the Bunga 90 film VHS commences the transportation to the 90s pulling visitors into a whirlwind journey back to the decade that defined a generation
On exiting the video store, guests are submerged in darkness, with just a neon arrow guiding the way before stepping into a recreated 1990s Anglo-American home with family holiday snaps, stone cladding and the unmistakable drone of dial-up. Passing through a teenager’s bedroom filled with fairy lights and teen idol posters guests then reach the vibrant, neon-filled bar, the beating heart of the venue. Here, a wall of old-school TVs plays a non-stop loop of 90s music videos, movie scenes and iconic adverts. The area is separated into zones, with areas dedicated to 90s music, WWF (before it was changed to WWE) and toys of the decade.
What drinks can you expect at Bunga 90?
One of Bunga 90’s show-stopping centrepieces is a fully functioning arcade claw machine repurposed for cocktail creation. Guests take control via a joystick and assemble their own custom “Claw Cocktail”, with skilful players picking up a toy on the way, made with Bombay Sapphire gin, Bacardi rum or Grey Goose vodka.
A selection of cocktails will also be served in the shapes of 90s icons, all priced at £13 including:
Britney B*itch from Britney Spears’ head
The Botanist gin, Italicus bergamot liqueur, lychee, raspberry, lime, and Franklin & Sons Rose Lemonade
Fresh Prince served in Will Smith’s head
Patrón Silver tequila, Aperol, cactus; pimento & prickly pear liqueur, hibiscus, lime and Ting Grapefruit
The drinks list also features reinvented 90s classics including Cosmos, Watermelon Margaritas and Appletinis, all priced at £9.
How about the food?
The food menu dials up the indulgence with fully loaded Americana creations. A generous selection of snacks, served in baskets, including deep-fried pizza dough strips in garlic butter and Buttermilk chicken strips with lemon & garlic aioli.
Pizzas, available in 12 (£15) and 20 inches (£25), are available with a myriad of toppings from Pepperoni Hot, Meat Feast with Sausage, chicken, pepperoni & smoked bacon on a tomato sauce base with mozzarella and the vegetarian and vegan Vegetable Supreme featuring a tomato sauce base with cherry tomatoes, onion, peppers, sweetcorn & mushrooms, topped with mozzarella & basil
And things to do?
Every hour, the toilets transform into London’s smallest ‘M25 style’ warehouse rave, created in partnership with Southern Comfort and Tequila Rose. Think UV lights, smoke and a blast of high octane 90s dance anthems. Elsewhere in the venue, guests can try their hand at a rare Jurassic Park pinball machine, vintage arcade cabinets, and jumbo 90s handheld games.
Karaoke at Bunga 90
Karaoke remains central to the Bunga 90 experience, including in the main bar, whereby those brave enough can perform live in front of 200 strong crowd. The venue features two further private karaoke rooms and two open systems, in the video store and toilet lobby, offering wannabe popstars the opportunity to serenade fellow guests as they fix themselves in the mirror. With everything from Eternal to Aerosmith and Blur to one-hit wonders, the playlist is packed with nostalgia.
The private karaoke rooms are available for up to 10 guests for 90-minute sessions, priced at £99.
Is there Bottomless brunch at Bunga 90?
Yes! Every Saturday, Bunga 90 will be holding a bottomless 90s brunch to a soundtrack of the decade. Guests will receive bottomless jugs of cocktails or beer alongside a 20-inch pizza for every two people. Running weekly from 12pm until 4pm, the brunch will be priced at £45 per person.

Oh Bunga 90, what a trip down memory lane! Forget the PEPSI Time Machine, my VHS player still says ERROR 99. The claw machine cocktails sound dangerously close to my actual budget for the week, though the Fresh Prince one might be an exception. Who needs a bottomless brunch when you can have a bottomless nostalgia dive? And singing to Eternal in the main bar? More like Eternally Awkward, right? Still, sounds like a wild ride through the 90s that even my dial-up modem would enjoy!
This article is pure nostalgia heaven! Who knew a 90s-themed bar could be this wild? From Britney Spear’s head cocktails to warehouse raves in the toilets, it’s a laugh riot. The bottomless brunch sounds like a perfect way to relive the decade—popstar dreams and pizza, here I come! Now, where’s my joystick?
What a fantastic trip down memory lane! Bunga 90 sounds like pure, unadulterated 90s bliss – a kaleidoscope of VHS tapes, dial-up screeches, and the iconic Britney B*itch cocktail! Honestly, who needs a time machine when youve got a joystick and retro cocktails? The bottomless brunch sounds like the ultimate 90s indulgence, though I suspect getting the toilet rave out of my head will be the challenge. Natasha hits the nail on the head – it’s definitely an immersive experience, though I wonder if the toilets can handle the sheer volume of high-energy dance moves! A must-visit for anyone who ever wore baggy jeans or craved a Pizza Hut® Big Foot pizza. Highly recommended!
