Iffy Avatar-Themed Nightclub Opens In South Africa

June 26, 2012 / club, different strokes for different folks, drinking, getting your swerve on, i'd rather stay home and watch the notebook, iffy, pass, questionable, smoking AND nonsmoking areas? get out!, that looks exactly like the rollerskating rink my daycare used to take us to on fridays, who am i to judge i'm just a guy who invested his life savings in a tmnt bar that only hipsters visit. i can't survive on pbr sales alone!, why didn't you just burn all that money in a wastebasket instead?, you've got to be kidding me

Note: Video ever so slightly NSFW due to some incredibly crappy wall art of nude-boobied Na'vi chicks a little after the 1:00 mark.

This is a promo video for AVASTAR, an Avatar themed nightclub in South Africa that looks suspiciously like a rollerskating rink. The video is hosted by AVASTAR owner Mike Basson, who sounds like he got his business degree out of a cereal box. I give the club till the end of the year before its closed for good and you and I are calling Mike trying to get a deal on some used fog machines.

Hit the jump for the that looks like a terrible time.

Thanks to kiran and Patrick, who don't go to themed clubs unless they're wild west themed and you can spit in spittoons.

  • So yeah it looks cheap as hell in this ad video but if you search for some random youtube videos about the club it actually looks like it might have a good atmosphere and a lot of hotties... would probably check it out if I ever went there... Am sure there are better clubs tho..

    My fellow countrymen never cease to disappoint me. Just when I felt like South Africa sucked a little less today. Thanks GW.

  • It's a fun fair club. It's run by a guy who clearly runs a fun fair. It's the only way to explain it all - they even have art by the same crap artists that paint the rides.

    Looks like the cuisine is super fancy: http://www.avastar.co.za/image...

  • How is this related to Avatar? Because it glows like a Chernobyl worker's spleen?

  • Heezy Spaleezy

    Who is that freak and why do I feel like he's trying to sell me an underaged Russian girl?

  • Stark Botha

    Actually, this place is crawling with hot women. Mike Basson might look like he was smoking a weed-cigar but so far the place is a hit..

  • I wonder how long before he gets a cease and desist letter from James Cameron.

    I feel like I got syphilis just by watching this.
