I agree. I am just wondering out loud why when people talk about "drinking in Tokyo" these are the main places that come up.

I'm guessing Kabuki-cho has to be one of the largest "red light" districts in the world........ with legal and illegal all happening up-front and side-by-side.
I too like Ueno and Asakusa a lot.

Yes, I think you are probably right. I hear Kabuki-cho has been cleaned up a bit, but it still, if you are not looking for a special massage or thousand dollars of Dom, I am sure there are plenty of places within walking distance of the hotel that are perfect.
