Allright, どうもありがとう!

So how is that place? Big/Small? Prices? (I realise you said it was good, but still =) )

well, come to think of it....it's not a bar, its an izakaya.
it got two floors, not very small but not extremely big either. punk staff (as in the fashion/music style). fairly cheap i reckon, at least cheap for someone working. it won't ruin u.

Ait, thanks for the info, but I don't think I'll bother then as I wasn't really looking for izakaya's :) But thanks nonetheless for your help!

Sheesha Bar in ropongi is my favorite, my friend Hiro works there.
Its down the street from gaspanic. on Floor 7.

has a private kareoki room also.

if your looking for Cheap in tokyo then you've gone to the wrong place lol.

if its cheap its usually empty and dieing for customers.

just walk the main strip of any area and go bar hopping. thats the fun of Tokyo

That is fun!

But it would be cool to find a really sweet "hangout" place though (that doesn't ruin you) ;)

That's the real key...and you will. I lived in Japan over a decade ago, but I still visit my "hangout" bar a couple times every time I go back. A lot of the same customers who I got to be friends with still go, and I can hang with the owner/bartender if it isn't busy.

Look for "shot bars"...especially ones with music you like. It'll give you something to talk with the owner about, even if your Japanese isn't so good. Shot bars tend to be small, no or low cover, and easy to chill out in.

That's a good idea! I've seen em around but haven't been able to try any out this time around... But I definately will. Ty.
