3 Zapp Bar is located next door to Zapp Noodle Thai Restaurant, with an open passage between the two businesses.  They will offer a bar with American foods that will be provided online, featuring eOrderSTL, DoorDash, GrubHub, and Uber Eats.  Their liquor license is currently pending with the city of O'Fallon, and once it passes with the city, they will apply to the state.  The plan is to have alcohol for sale before Thanksgiving.  Once approved for alcohol sales, Zapp Noodle Thai Restaurant will be serving alcohol as well under the same license.  Read the Public Announcement about the process published on August 26, 2025.

So, you will be able to dine in the best Thai restaurant serving your favorite Thai cuisine, accompanied by your favorite drink.  Adding alcohol to the menu is a significant change for Zapp Noodle Thai Restaurant, as it has never previously offered alcoholic beverages on its menu.  It will change the perspective of this award-winning restaurant.

The long-term plan is to offer slot machines; however, the city of O'Fallon, IL, requires a facility to be open with an active liquor license for one year before it will consider allowing slot machines in the facility.  Therefore, for the first year, it is alcohol, food, and legal games to entertain the customers.  Additionally, there will be Happy Hour specials, occasional live music, and fun events to attract and engage the guests.

Both Injan and Wanlapa have significant experience and own successful Thai restaurants with award-winning ratings and reviews.  Creating this partnership will be a success with these two restaurant owners joining forces to serve the community.  The knowledge and skill they have acquired over the years of operating successful Thai restaurants will no doubt have a significant influence and impact on the success of this new venture, ensuring its success.  They know how to create a safe and fun atmosphere with great food and entertainment supervised by themselves.

The business structure is that both businesses will operate under Zapp Thai Restaurant, LLC.  Zapp Noodle Thai Restaurant and 3 Zapp Bar are divisions (d.b.a.'s) of Zapp Thai Restaurant LLC.  It is structured for ease of management and to minimize miscellaneous expenses associated with opening a new business.

St. Louis Restaurant Review will continue to keep you updated on the latest news regarding this story.  This establishment requires strong community support to achieve its goal of being approved for slot machines, which is an ideal location for such entertainment.  After being approved for alcohol sales, they must wait for one year before they can apply for their gaming license.
