About this place Kusuo

Kusuo is a small bar on the third floor of the Sunflower Building at Shinjuku 2-17-1, in the middle of Shinjuku Ni-chome, Tokyo's gay district. Our data lists it as gay-friendly rather than a dedicated gay bar; many Ni-chome bars set their own rules on who they cater to, so the crowd may be more specific than that label suggests. Like most of the neighbourhood, it is a tiny upstairs room seating a handful of people, where a seat charge on top of drinks is normal. Google reviewers give it 4.2 from 68 reviews. There is no website; call (03-3354-5050) or ask locally about hours.

Its a nice gay karaoke bar. We came there during pride weekend. It was very joyful, packed with groups of friends. Very interesting experience for foreigners. The staff were welcoming. We weren't too interested by the locals as they were grouped already, so didnt have too many interactions unfortunately. 1500 yen obligatory for the 1st dring.

A long-established gay bar. Women are welcome. Transparent accounting. The bar is large, so it's great for groups. The staff are muscular. They're also kind to straight guys like me.

As a long-time gay man, this was a place I'd always dreamed of visiting. The staff were very kind to me, even though I was a beginner. It was a wonderful experience. I'd like to go back with a gay friend next time. Thank you for coming again.
