Have You Played Beer Pong at LIABP HQ? Here’s Why You Should

October 7, 2025

There are two types of people in Ios:
Those who have played beer pong at LIABP HQ… and those who will.

Because at this point, beer pong at HQ is more than a drinking game — it’s an Ios tradition, a daily ritual, and one of the easiest ways to meet new friends before the LIABP Bar Crawl kicks off.

If you’re looking for the most social, competitive, chaotic pre-party warm-up on the island, this is it.

Why Beer Pong at HQ Is So Iconic

Beer pong hits differently in Ios.
You’re not in a house.
You’re not in a random bar.
You’re in the heart of the island’s nightlife ecosystem.

Here’s why HQ’s beer pong tables are always full:

1. Everyone plays

Backpackers, students, couples, solo travellers — everyone gets involved.

2. The games are fast and loud

Music blasting.
Crowds cheering.
Winners staying on.
Losers taking forfeits.

3. It’s the perfect pre-crawl icebreaker

You meet people instantly.
Half the crowd becomes your friends by the time the bar crawl starts.

4. It feels like a warm-up arena

HQ is where the energy builds before heading to Nio Fusion.
