Location: Japan, 〒160-0022 Tokyo, Shinjuku City, Shinjuku, 3 Chome−8−9 新宿Qビル5F
What’s There: Part video game-playing space, part video game bar, all awesome. This 5th floor tiny cove of retro gaming and drinking respite spot is quite a walk from the Shinjuku station.
But it’s worth the trek because it’s just cozy and gives you the fuzzies. You can enjoy drinks like the Dr. Mario below while admiring the decor and gaming setup. Just beware; it gets packed later in the evenings and during the weekends.
Price Range: US$7 or so plus a US$5 cover charge. You can only hang around for an hour and half unless you order more; space is limited after all.
Location: Shibuya area, 28-13 UdagawachÅ, Shibuya City, TÅkyÅ-to 150-0042, Japan
What’s There: Movie-themed drinks, made by bartenders who know their stuff. The drink below is fashioned after the Sony Pictures film Venom…

All in all, it’s best to bring friends so that you can take turns sampling each other’s funky and creative concoctions.
Price Range: It’s a classy place, so expect to fork over US$10 at the minimum for your specialized cocktails. Plus, there’s a US$5 cover charge to enter.
Location: Any spot in Tokyo; there’s usually one a stone’s throw away from your hotel or nearest train station.
What’s There? Cheap food and alcohol. And also the best fried chicken in Tokyo that won’t kill your wallet. We’re dead serious; they’re open 24/7 and can sort out your munchies past 10pm. Whether it’s highballs or vodka-laced chuhis, or that Final Fantasy-themed fried chicken promo, Lawson’s got it all.
Price Range: US$5 or less.
Price range: US$10 to US$30+
