Suggestions for Bar near Japantown, San Francisco

Ellie R. • February 7, 2013Best cheesy karaoke spot in SF. Get a cocktail (lychee or peach martini, ooobbbbbvssss) and bask in the magic of the city scape.

Heinrich H. • April 26, 2012You can't get in if you're not on Mari's list.

Alice • January 18, 2023Cocktails are too sweet.

Amy B. • August 31, 2016The VERY limited song select is almost made up for by the awesome bartenders. Good spot to begin or end the night if you want a place where you can sing lots of songs. Even if they aren't your usual

Stephanie Y. • July 30, 2015Delicious soup, excellent vermouth cocktails (no full bar), and huge rib-eye portions.

David S. • August 25, 2023Tasty small bites to go with great wine and beer! Don’t skip the duck fat fries!

Michelle M. • October 10, 2010order food to bring into the movie... drinks too!

M L. • March 13, 2016Private rooms, BYO, definitely scruffy but a good refuge from other crowded places

Victoria H. • January 4, 2012Tuesday night have the whole bar to yourself and speculate as to what happens on other nights :).

Gabrielle • March 17, 2018They've recently redone their bar area which is an awesome space! Really relaxing and a nice spot in Japantown. Their happy hour from 5-6 pm has $7 cocktails.

Bommy • August 8, 2018$90 treatment is so worth it. You'll leave so fresh and clean. Bring cash for tipping.

David H. • August 24, 2022The eggplant curry is incredible and the cocktails are also great. I used to love the chef/owner’s Chez Pim blog back in the day. So good to try her food in person!

Jeff W. • August 9, 2014BYO beer and wine and whatever else you want to be sneaky about. Super fun for a big group.

Ken v. • May 27, 2017All of the ramen options are fantastic. Asahi draft is cold and perfectly poured. Staff is super friendly and the line is now much shorter than Mensho.

Emmisaur • May 31, 2014great for sashimi grade fish or green tea Kit Kat bars, expensive for anything else.

Brodie O. • April 9, 2017Sit at the bar, order omakase. Ask for the strawberry mochi for dessert. Bask in your newfound happiness.

Amy B. • September 21, 2015Despite it being less than clean it's a nice place to relax & people watch.

Inkantadora I. • August 29, 2019Tasty and well proportioned Shabu, amazing beers (try the Kyoto Matcha IPA) and excellent service! Really loved this place!

Connie C. • August 14, 2018Delicious omkase with a flair! Really unique combinations and flavor accents, like gold flakes, herbs, foie gras, etc on traditional sushi. Small station but great chefs. Def do the 12 piece.

Martín C. • January 30, 2018Cozy Japanese ramen house. Get a bunch of appetizers and a little of everything along with your big bowl of ramen (extra noodle portion). Get adventurous with the spice bombs if you dare.

Beerblondie V. • July 6, 2013Great tea! Perfect to stop in for a quick snack or to get the full tea! Loved the Paris tea (caramel and vanilla.) Also, they sell candy bars from London! : )

Halle • July 20, 2012Cozy, quiet, great treats

Jiehan Z. • July 24, 2017Tiny restaurant with friendly chef & waiter. Everyone sits at a “bar”. They change their menu every month.
