About this place MIDNIGHT CAFE gri-gri

MIDNIGHT CAFE gri-gri is a small gay bar on Yamamotodori in Kobe's Chuo Ward, a short walk uphill from Sannomiya station. Like most Japanese gay bars, it is likely a compact room built around the counter and the bartender, where conversation is the point. Details are limited, so check its website for opening days and any table charge before visiting. Some bars in Japan focus on regulars or Japanese speakers; it is polite to ask at the door if newcomers or foreign visitors are welcome.

This is a gay bar that even women can enjoy alone. I love the owner's cooking and personality. 😘💋 You can even use it as a late-night cafe. The food is great. It's so good it could be a curry restaurant open during the day!

A gay bar on Pearl Road. On April 14th (Sunday), there was a DJ booth event. Swing music was playing when I went there, and it was very pleasant.
