I've heard stories of other people encountering similar stuff in apparently innocent random pubs.

Sounds like a standard snack bar to me.

Yep, in hindsight should have asked but it just didn't strike that we would have to, it was just a little pub, nothing special to suggest there would be an entry fee.

It's not very unusual in Japan. In fact it's completely commonplace ( at least it was up in Hokkaido) and is certainly not sneakyness. Your being unaware of this completely normal practice doesn't make it sneaky!
