Happy hour runs daily from 7 am to 7 pm, covering draft beers, house spirits, and cocktails. Singha and Heineken pour by the pint at 140 and 150 THB respectively. The kitchen covers both ends of the menu convincingly, from Tuna Tartare Viva at 360 THB and Oyster Thai Style at 499 THB through to Tenderloin Steak and Lamb Chop, both priced at 980 THB. Pad Thai and Thai curries sit alongside the Western standards.

You turn into Soi 8 from Sukhumvit Road and Viva Cafe is 40 metres on your left, occupying a corner shophouse that opens on two sides and keeps the air conditioning running throughout. The venue has been here since 2011, which by Sukhumvit reckoning makes it a genuine institution. Most of the seating faces a large central bar counter, and bar-stool rows align with the multiple HD screens covering every wall worth covering. The sports programming is the primary draw for a crowd that runs heavily toward expats from Australia, Britain, and beyond. English Premier League weekends, NRL Friday night fixtures, UFC pay-per-views, Formula 1 race weekends, cricket Tests, and MotoGP all run on the screens. The daily happy hour from 7 am to 7 pm keeps prices accessible on draft beer, house spirits, and cocktails through most of the day. Singha pints run at 140 THB, Heineken and Asahi at 150 THB each. The kitchen takes both ends of the menu seriously. The Tuna Tartare Viva at 360 THB arrives diced and dressed with sesame and avocado, sized for two to three to share. Oyster Thai Style comes at 499 THB. For something more substantial, the Tenderloin Steak and Lamb Chop are each priced at 980 THB and arrive with grilled vegetables and a choice of sauce. Mushroom Risotto at 360 THB and Yum Nua Yang at 380 THB cover the middle of the card. A Full English Breakfast served all day, Pad Thai, and chicken cashew nut round out a list that ensures no table goes hungry regardless of the hour. Outdoor tables on the soi add another option for those who want the street view while the match runs inside. Nana BTS is a two-to-three-minute walk at Exit 1 or 3. Built for game-day groups and solo early arrivals in equal measure.
