About this place Rainbow BEAst

Rainbow BEAst is a small gay bar on the third floor of a building in Kanocho, the Sannomiya end of central Kobe. Like most Japanese gay bars it is a counter bar with a host behind the bar, a handful of seats and a regular crowd, and it promotes itself through Instagram rather than a website. Google reviewers rate it 4.9 from about 26 reviews. Expect a seating or table charge on top of drinks, which is normal in Japan. Hours are not on file, so check Instagram before going. Kobe's scene is small; Osaka's Doyama district is about 25 minutes away by train.

I meant to just drop in for a drink, but ended up spending a few hours here. The owner is super kind and easy to talk to, and he made sure to include me in the conversation while he was chatting with a regular. He also speaks English very well, so he acted as a translator for me and the other customer. Loved the decor and overall atmosphere ✨️ Highly recommend!!

This is the most fun and interesting gay bar in Sannomiya! It's a great place that provides a really enjoyable atmosphere! The staff are friendly and easy to talk to, so you can go without any worries even if it's your first time! The pistachios are delicious!
