really small venue but because of that, your view of the band is always really good. also bring ear plugs if you’re sensitive to sound. it gets really loud. drinks are cheap too. loved it here (:

Fun atmosphere, but unbearably loud and no earplugs on sale. I lost my plugs in the pit and wanted to purchase new ones. They don't have them. Be sure to bring a spare pair. Sadly had to abandon the evening because I value my ears over any live performance. And so should you. Devastated but it is what it is. Staff wasn't even apologetic about it so this seems to be the norm in Japan. People especially from the EU who are not used to these loudness levels beware and come prepared.

Also if you need to go out and come back in they charge 600yen lol

quiet in good shape compared to other heavily used livehouses in Tokyo. The beer however tastes really like water and not on the cheap side, which is instantly 1star minus. The acoustic of the hall is good, but the stairs which leads to the venue are made for children. Anyone with over 40 shoesize(EU size, so about 24cm i guess) will have hard time to go down and up safely, especially if your shoes are wet. So be careful to going in and out.
