Looking at places like this
Pure Osaka
which I noticed is nomihodai, and from the sponsors seems to have energy drink/beer etc.
I wondered what other kinds of drinks these places usually have, especially girly drinks, would there be say vodka/bacardi/rum+mixer, anything like an alcopop, or even white wine?
Aside from nomihodai clubs, what are drinks like in other clubs? I found a few links to cocktail bars which look delicious, but also like a whole nights budget would be blown in two drinks!
Thanks!  |
Most of the clubs I have been to are only nomihoudai on certain nights, most of the time I find you pay a cover charge and get anywhere from like 1 to 6 "free drink" tickets (although you basically paid for them with the cover), and a decent club will make you whatever you want. Bars and restaurants that offer nomihoudai usually have a set list of drinks and the standard usually has beer, whiskey, shocho mixes, and certain cocktails, for me I only drink beer, so I cannot really tell you what I think of the cocktail quality at most places.
Also to get the nomihoudai deal at a lot of places you need 3-4 people or more, and many times it must be coupled with the selection of a certain course that everyone will pay a set price for, ranging from I usually find 2500 yen to 5000 yen at most places (which includes the price for a 2 hour nomihoudai). It can be a real steal sometimes I think (if you can drink a lot).
