About this place New Sazae (ニューサザエ)

New Sazae has been running since 1966, which makes it one of the oldest bars still open in Shinjuku Ni-chōme. It is a small second-floor room in the Ishikawa Building at 2-18-5. The music is mostly soul, funk and disco, and the crowd mixes older gay regulars, drag performers, foreigners and people moving on from bars that have closed. Time Out Tokyo and Google now list it as open on Friday and Saturday nights only, from 22:00 until 07:00, with a ¥1,000 entry that includes one drink. Most people treat it as a last stop. Bring cash, and check X @newsazae1966 before going.
