I went to one snack bar with 2 Japanese guys and another foreigner. We walked in and it was dead. We asked the price. It was 2000 yen entry and 800 a beer. It was late, so we agreed. After about an hour we got up to go, and got a giant bill. We said "Hey, you said 2000 yen a head and 800 yen a beer. 4 guys, plus 8 beers doesn't add up to 25,000." "Yeah, but we weren't busy, and you were talking to all our girls." and some other baloney. We refused to pay those prices, and told them to call the police. We were only paying what we were told the price was.
Next time we were in the building there was a "Japanese Only" sign on the door.
