Bars

February 25, 2006

The naming of bars in Japan can be a whole webpage in itself. Most small shot bars follow a simple pattern:

(random word) Bar (random word)

The few strange ones I can name right off the bat are Bar None, Bar Isn’t It?, and Sense Pleasure Bar (this one’s near my apartment and it’s not at all sexually themed). One bar that’s always made me question what they serve is Bar Blow.

Bar Blow

In all actuality, it’s a reggae themed bar with shitty wooden stumps for stools. I went back there recently and they’ve moved shop. They moved right across the street actually and it’s not quite reggae themed anymore – they have a much bigger space and slower service.
