May 26, 2025 – Saturday Nights Go Live: CS Gambling Tournaments Every Week
Starting this month, every Saturday night at Johnnie Walkers Lounge NYC and Seattle, we’re launching a new in-house series: CSGO Gambling Tournaments – live, social, and just chaotic enough to be fun.
Each session mixes classic competitive rounds with a twist: skin-based prize pools, randomized drop-ins, and live wagering mechanics inspired by the csgo gambling scene. Players can join solo or as duos, and spectating is welcome from the lounge floor.
Expect:
- Rotating map pools (yes, even Office sometimes)
- In-game rewards from partnered platforms
- Live leaderboards, running commentary, and themed cocktails during finals
- No buy-ins, just show up and play – must be 21+ to enter bar area
“We’re not here to recreate the ESL Finals,” said lead event manager Ray Li. “We’re here to mix the thrill of CS with the vibe of a good bar night. And maybe win a Karambit.”
Sign-ups start every Saturday at 7PM – first match kicks off at 8:00. See you at the drop.
January 12, 2024 – Soft Launch: First Walkers Lounge Opens in NYC
After months of prep, the very first Johnnie Walkers lounge opened its doors on Bowery Street in downtown Manhattan. The space blends high-end gaming PCs, a full cocktail bar, and a relaxed atmosphere where you can play solo, squad up, or just hang out.
Visitors on opening weekend got early access to our custom drinks menu, a small Valorant bracket, and retro game night with GoldenEye 007 and Tekken 3 running on original hardware.
“We wanted a place where people could game and drink without neon overload or esports pressure,” said co-founder Ethan Roe. “More like a bar that happens to have sick rigs.”
