This was a fun little venue to go see a concert in but the staff seemed a little odd. I asked the girl at the bar for a drink and it seemed like she didn't understand me or had an anxiety attack or something because she blanked out and started shaking. I don't know if it was because my Japanese was poor or what, but it was weird. Luckily the other girl at the counter helped me and was very nice. Since I got there early, there were only a few people in the venue, but I noticed this one young-looking woman who appeared to be drunk to the point of passing out in the afternoon and was making a scene. I don't know what the deal was with her. Later on, one of the other staff asked me if she could borrow an extra ¥1000 "to buy food". The whole thing was definitely strange and a little offputting. The concert was great though, the ambiance was fantastic and the drinks were cheap. A word of advice for future concert-goers: if you want tickets/refreshments make sure you talk to the girl with the long ponytail, she's super nice, can understand a lot of English and we chatted a bit about our favorite bands. She even told me she was working to help finance her own band and asked if I wanted to come check them out- they were playing at a school in a week and I would have gone to see them if I didn't have to go back home before then. Overall, a great, wallet-friendly experience with good music, even if the people working there are a bit quirky.

TIP for first-time visitors: If you are a foreigner do not make eye contact with the short-haired girl working there or she will try to beg money off of you. The other staff told me that.
