post<\/a> on the platform.\u00a0<\/p>\nShe\u2019s uploaded two follow-up videos of herself and friends watching the livestream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And judging by the views, she\u2019s not alone.<\/p>\n
This week, TikTokkers got a front-row seat to the chaos at the Elbo Room, with creator @courtneykcolombo captioning her clip of the bar\u2019s lively patrons: \u201cTo our friends hanging out at @ElboRoom tonight.. thanks for the 2 minute show [\u2026]\u201d<\/p>\n
The comments section quickly exploded: \u201cThis is the best\/worst idea of ALL. TIME,\u201d one fan declared, while another gushed, \u201celbo room live streams are top tier entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some got philosophical: \u201cThis is the equivalent to when kids watch other kids play with toys on YouTube.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Others dreamed bigger: \u201cImagine if this was a reality show lol and they had them in bars all over the world hahaha.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
And for those too old or tired to hit the town, the verdict was clear: \u201cI love watching these! I\u2019d rather stay home and watch this than go to the actual bar,\u201d and \u201cYes!!!! I am 37 now with kids and am in bed by 9 lmao. I live through these people now.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s unknown if the bar notifies its customers that they\u2019re being filmed. <\/p>\n
The Post has reached out to the Elbo Room for comment and to answer the question on everyone\u2019s mind \u2014 why do they do this? <\/p>\n
And it turns out this Florida joint isn\u2019t the only watering hole getting a livestream glow-up \u2014 fans chimed in with tips from around the globe:<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019ve had these in bars in the Keys for like 20 years and same but the people are wild!!! You should look some up too! Make a whole universe for yourself,\u201d one viewer wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cDirty Harry\u2019s in Key West does this too,\u201d added another, while someone else shared, \u201cThere is a bar in Key West called Sloppy Joes that does this and there is a website for \u2018Sloppy Joes Bingo\u2019 which is a crowd watching bingo game created by the \u2018Regulation Podcast\u2019 crew.\u201d<\/p>\n
The trend stretches far beyond Florida. \u201cI do this with a bar in Charlotte and one in the Midwest. The Midwest one is funny,\u201d a commenter noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Across the pond, another TikTok user said, \u201cThere\u2019s a bar called Woodys in Liverpool who go live every night.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\nApparently, watching strangers stumble through bars isn\u2019t just a Florida flex \u2014 fans say it\u2019s a global pastime, from Key West to Liverpool to even Thailand. maeching \u2013 stock.adobe.com<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAnd for those really craving a global spectacle? \u201chahah I do this with Thailand live cams lol.\u201d<\/p>\n
And if watching humans stumble through bars isn\u2019t enough, people are also going full wildlife mode<\/a> when it comes to livestreams, as The Post previously reported. <\/p>\nEarlier this spring, millions went wild for Sweden\u2019s moose-see TV \u2014 a livestream of the country\u2019s largest land mammals on the move.<\/p>\n
Dubbed \u201creality TV at its finest,\u201d The Great Moose Migration returned April 15, a full week early thanks to an unusually warm spring that jumpstarted the annual inland trek. <\/p>\n
Known locally as \u201cDen stora \u00e4lgvandringen,\u201d the broadcast has been called hypnotic, meditative \u2014 and oddly addictive. <\/p>\n
Last year, nearly 9 million viewers tuned in, and the moose mania shows no signs of slowing down.<\/p>\n
So, whether it\u2019s humans stumbling through bars or moose on the move, who needs Netflix when the world\u2019s chaos is streaming<\/a> live 24\/7?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
