About this place Bar elan

Bar elan is a small bar in a ground-floor unit in Ebisu-nishi, a few minutes' walk from Ebisu Station in Tokyo's Shibuya ward. It is listed as gay-friendly, not as a gay bar, and we have no confirmed details on its drinks, hours or crowd. Google reviewers give it about 4.9, but from only around 35 reviews. Ebisu bars like this tend to be small counter bars with a handful of seats, so arrive early or go in pairs at most. For Tokyo's gay bar district, head to Shinjuku Ni-chome, about 15 minutes away on the JR Yamanote line.

This bar has a very desolate atmosphere, and unfortunately, the quality of the drinks isn't very good either. Many of the reviews seem to be written by employees or friends and don't seem to reflect the actual situation. The table charge is also too high. Also, this isn't a gay bar, it's just that the bartenders might be gay. I hope it will improve in the future.

This is the gay bar in Ebisu! The staff are so beautiful they look like they stepped right out of an anime, making the drinks go down even more easily! Their facial attractiveness is far superior to any other gay bar. They have a wide variety of drinks and food! My recommendation is the banh mi! The fried chicken is so delicious and popular that you need to be careful not to let other customers snatch it away! Please keep an eye on it until you've finished eating!
