Weekdays

Some staff can speak varying levels of English, but having someone who can speak Japanese in the group will definitely make the night more eventful.

Drinks
The drinks are pretty standard for clubs, ranging from cocktails to beers ranging from ¥600 to ¥1,000 for specialty drinks. The drinks are infamous for being especially strong, so be sure to keep your wits about you and have fun!
