This became our "neighborhood bar" while we stayed in Shinjuku. Great atmosphere, great music, great drinks, and great people. Be sure to visit and say hi to our guy Chris!

Such an amazing place. Been here almost every night and brought my family and friends during my trip and every one working there was super nice and friendly. Especially Chris! Definitely make this bar a priority to stop by.

One of my favorite bars in Tokyo! It’s very cozy and cute. Drinks are strong and cheap. Jungle is the my favorite staff member. I don’t speak Japanese but she always makes me feel so welcome!

A bottle of Yamazaki 18-year-old was listed for 250,000 yen! I didn't check if it was a bottle or a glass (lol). That shop is always crowded! The staff provided excellent hospitality and service!
