Alamas Cafe

We walked into the bar to check out the atmosphere, music, and see if they had a free table. We hadn’t been inside for more than 5 seconds before we were approached by a waiter who handed us a menu. Since we hadn’t decided yet my friend politely declined for the time being. The man called what I supposed to be the manager, who then stood between us and the door as he demanded we buy two drinks. I was genuinely concerned. He insisted on being aggressive verbally and physically blocked the door the whole time. We hadnt used the bathrooms or sat down at all, simply were checking the bar out to decide whether to stay there for a while or not, yet he would not let us leave. We were both baffled. I am appalled that a place that should be a gathering for a community showed this level of aggression towards two visitors. If it was racism or some assumption I am disgusted by the crude approach taken rather than communicating their concerns. Never in my life have I met a staff this rude and never, in Tokyo or outside, has any bar shown this level of arrogance in blatantly harassing a customer. I rarely write negative reviews but I felt the need to in response to how we were treated.

The staff are friendly, you can charge your phone, and the atmosphere is great! I recommend it!

The staff were very friendly, which was great. It's a cafe-bar in the middle of 2-chome that's open from midday.

It's great that it has a casual atmosphere, you can smoke, and there's a good variety of drinks!

Yoshida Pito and Yuya were so cute.

It was really easy to get in. There was a funny staff member with cherry blossoms wrapped around her hair. I wonder what kind of person she is.

The staff are friendly and cheerful, and the food is absolutely delicious!

The food was delicious, the staff were friendly, and I had a wonderful time! ✨️I'd love to visit again when I come to Tokyo♡

Recommended even for beginners who might think Shinjuku Ni-chome is intimidating! You can drop in early, and there are DJ events on Friday and Saturday nights, making it a fun place to be. I've always loved their fried chicken! 💕

The atmosphere is casual, the staff are friendly, and the drinks and food are excellent. 😋🫚 The prices are also relatively reasonable.
