Inexpensive Fun in The Fancy Ginza

Ginza is the most exclusive and expensive shopping area in Japan. It is also known for having the most expensive real estate on earth!!The streets are lined with neon signs, department stores, boutiques, bars and restaurants. And most famous (notorious?) of all is the very high-end Ginza hostess clubs in which no-one escapes without paying handsomely (300,000yen+ in an evening minimum).

However, that's not all there is to Ginza. You can have great fun in Ginza bar/club, with just paying 300yen, not 300,000yen! Take a visit to this fun stylish standing bar, 300yen bar in Ginza. The 300yen Ginza Bar, as its name suggests, has a food and drink menu that are all priced 300yen. From beer, gin tonic, cosmopolitan, wine, tequila sunrise, margarita to shochu, everything is priced 300yen. They have an impressive cocktail menu which is so large that I could never choose what I should drink. On top of that, they even have their original cocktails and special of the week written on the board above the bar! But don't worry, the friendly bartenders are willing to recommend you a good cocktail based on your needs and preference. Each cocktails are neatly made and you can enjoy the sound of cocktail shakers shaking. (Pretty impressive for just 300yen drink, don't you think?) And when you are hungry, they have small finger food such as mini pizza, chicken nuggets and edamame.

Located just 5 minuites from the Ginza's shopping streets and 5minuites from the business sector of Shinbashi and Uchisaiwaicho, this bar attracts many young professionals as well as Ginza shoppers and even at times, some hostesses and hosts on the way to their work. With the cheap drink and gaijin freindly atmosphere, the bar attracts many gaijin as well. It’s the perfect meeting place for post-work or late-night drinks. It has just been renovated and looks fancier than ever. On Friday nights, they even have DJs in the bar for some Friday night dancing.
