What is Golden Guy?

You're in the middle of the desert. You come across an unlikely scene: an alleyway straight out of Tokyo that's full of tiny bars, each able to serve just a few patrons, each with its own unique theme.

Conversation

There's a few spots at the bar, but there's a conversation, a topic, and a place for you to join in.

Entertainment

Each bar has a unique design, a unique drink and a theme to keep your eyes, ears and heart entertained.

Community
