About

A men-only gay bar with over 20 years of history in the Shinsekai area. Located within a 5-minute walk from Tsutenkaku Tower, it serves as a perfect sightseeing base while offering a cozy, homey atmosphere frequented by locals. The interior accommodates about 20 to 30 people with counter and box seating, characterized by the lively vibe of a traditional Japanese pub. The bar is known for its open atmosphere, making it easy for first-timers and tourists to drop by. It is equipped with the latest DAM karaoke system; you can join the excitement with fellow music lovers or enjoy a quiet drink on your own with just the right amount of personal space. There are no showtimes or over-the-top performances—just a place where you can be yourself and relax. We operate on a set-fee system and offer bottle keep services. The master, a former salesman, is skilled at facilitating conversation between guests and is dedicated to providing attentive service to newcomers. It is a highly recommended spot to start your bar-hopping in Shinsekai or to gather local tips.
