The girl standing outside was so cute that I ended up going in. The service was friendly and very cute. I'll definitely go again!

The service was good, but because we were foreigners, we were charged 5,000 yen for two drinks (rum and Coke), which isn't very extravagant. And we know that price isn't reasonable to begin with. The bar was practically empty. We asked to sit on the sofa (there was no one there), but the bartender refused. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend this place.

The place is a shake down. Especially if you don’t speak Japanese avoid at all cost!! Seemed welcoming. Once entered there was one man sing karaoke and he spoke English. So was talking to him, and after 15 min and not even 2 drinks, he tries to trick me into buying the owner/bar tender a bottle of wine. I noticed him being weird about it. So I called him out for it. And then found out it’s 5,000 yen for 1 hr. So I told them I didn’t agree to that and I’m not staying. The owner agreed that 2,000 was enough and I left. Do yourself a favor and stay away. Not gay friendly and not a place I would ever recommend to anyone. Stay away.
