Top 10 Bars In Tokyo
April 4, 2008
1.Footnik — If you like soccer hooligans – or the closest equivalent in Japan – check out Footnik, just a block or so from Ebisu station.
2.What the Dickens! — Also just a short stroll from Ebisu station. For the soccer hooligans that really miss home. Ale and cider on tap, British pub food. Some good banter.
3.New York Bar — $20 just to get in and not the place to be if you’re short on cash. But it is one of the best roof-top bars in the world, overlooking Shinjuku.
4.Bonebo – Don’t tell anybody we told you. It’s so hidden you’d think it’s meant to be kept secret. A converted recording studio, it’s somewhere inside Jingu-mae ni-chome.
5.Geronimo – 10 shots in a row gets your name on the wall. Second floor next to Rappongi station.
6.Bar Ambrose – Rappongi, in the Pyramid building. $4 drink Happy Hour, which means this is a great starting place.
7.Hobgoblin – Rappongi, pub-style, lots of ex-pats. House brew will make you spew.
8.Bar Bourbon Street – Because you miss America, don’t you? Jazz in Rappongi.
9.Bandol – Wine bar, because sometimes you want to appear sophisticated when getting shitfaced. In the Minami-Aoyama area.
10.Castillo – Lots of eye candy, Cuban cigars. What else do you need to know? In Rappongi.
