Smoking indoors is an absolute NO. That's why this place gets 1 star.
Second-hand smoke is proven to be bad for you, yet you're in a bar full of second hand smoke that feels like it's 30 degrees because the air conditioner is not on.
Why is the air conditioner not on ALL THE TIME? The air conditioner will remove most of the smoke and keep the bar cool and fresh. I had to ask the staff to turn it on.

The self proclaimed DJ's don't add to the hip environment they're trying to create. Poorly constructed, their unfortunate 'licensed' mojitos, bad music, unfriendly staff, I'm surprised if they get...
Read moreI don't normally review place after I've been there but this was easily one of the best bar experiences I've ever had, either in the states or abroad. 300 yen for drinks and appetizers was amazing, so fun if you want to try out a variety of interesting Japanese-specific drinks or your favorite American classic. They had a movie playing on a projector on the wall (Jack Reacher, then some cool anime) which, with the DJ, created such a cool environment. Would seriously recommend to any foreigner on a budget who wants a small taste of home (the fries were delicious) plus a relaxed environment with a lot of...
