Very nice place and sound system, went there for CSS concert and it was great. BUT, the drink line is waaaaay too big, there should be a better way to accomodate the ammount of people that fits there without having such big lines. More importantly, there was a guy SCREAMING near the back part of the audience, between the audience and the bar line that was REALLY ANNOYING.

Located in the heart of Shibuya off a side street near some restaurants and bars, this is a very convenient location to see a show and do things before and...
Read moreWent there to see pop idols concert - there were 5 groups in total, we went maybe 40 minutes before the end, so saw only two groups. The music was standard brain-bashing techno, voiced over by scantily clad teen girls. 99% of the crowd were males. But if you know your Japanese culture, this is not at all surprising. Anyway, it was still an interesting experience in person, but we might have been ripped off, as we were asked to pay 9k yen, for two tickets and 2 free drinks, though there was a written note in Japanese that said 600 yen. Anyway, if the cost was indeed 4500 yen per person, in my view it’s not worth it even for...
