About this place PAWPADS

PAWPADS is a furry-themed gay bar on the 3rd floor of a building at Shinjuku 2-12-16, in the middle of Ni-chōme. It opened in November 2023, and the paw-print branding runs through the decor, but Travel Gay notes that non-furry regulars and first-timers are welcome. There is counter and booth seating and an English menu, which makes it easier than most Ni-chōme bars for visitors. Expect a cover of around ¥2,000. The entrance is up a staircase and easy to miss. Google reviewers rate it 4.9, and it fills up on weekends.

I went on my last night of my Japan trip, they had a birthday event going on and didn't welcome foreigners. They should at least post that on their socials. If you're a foreigner, try to avoid event nights or they might not be able to "accomodate" you.

★★★★☆

it's a neat little furry bar that is worthwhile to experience if you are in the area there is a cover fee as a heads up but the staff is nice and the drinks are fairly priced

This is my first time here! The shop has a great atmosphere and it's fun to see stickers from so many different artists! The staff are also very friendly, and I'd love to come back again!
