Remember Windows Scoreboard? A Shanghai institution, now relegated to history. It once stood proudly as the crowning jewel of TX Mall.
Let’s dive into the memories of Windows Scoreboard. Many are good. Some date back to after 2015.
Picture this: the elevator doors opening onto a metal grate. That’s all that remains. The mall just wasn’t the right place for the grimy student dive bar. No space for playlists stuck in the past.
Gentrification took its toll. Where did the students go for hourly free tequila shots? Only Windows Garage remains. An ignominious fall since 2018 when the Windows empire even flirted with a Bund location.
Windows Scoreboard offered a rough and ready atmosphere. Like its sister bars. Big screen monitors showed the game. Cheap drinks flowed freely.
Windows Scoreboard was more than just a bar. It was a rock-music-sports haven. Pool, darts, beer pong, and foosball were all available. Great drinks were guaranteed.
The atmosphere was laid back. Relaxing. You could enjoy a hassle-free environment. Mexican snacks were a perfect complement. Think quesadillas with chicken or beef. Tacos and wraps with different kinds of meat.
Remember catching bus 26, 42, or 146? They all stopped near Windows Scoreboard. Specifically, Huaihai Road Middle Section, Huangpu.
Windows Scoreboard’s address was 527 Huaihai Middle Road. The phone number was +86-2153827757. It was open 24 hours.
People spent about 30 minutes at Windows Scoreboard. Some even visited Mao Zedong’s Former Residence afterward.
Windows Scoreboard is gone but not forgotten. A place of memories and cheap thrills. Shanghai remembers.
