8 MOST EXOTIC, BIZARRE AND WACKIEST BARS AND RESTAURANTS IN TOKYO

Enough of Sushi and shrines! Sushi places are all over the world like the one in your town, and you've seen enough shrines and temples from TV. What you really got to do this time in Japan is to enjoy the island’s exotic night life. The birth place of AVs and Karaoke has exceptionally exotic night culture. Here are 8 wackiest bars and restaurants you really gotta go. 

1. Kayabukiya Tavern: Perfect service from the monkey staffs

Though it looks like a perfectly normal pub from outside, it's is way cooler. Here, the mascot monkey staffs take your order and get you what you want, and they even join your table and entertain you when they feel like it. Monkey staffs also perform shows at the pub, and it's super Kawaii. 

2. Icebar

This below zero temperature bar has everything made with ice from bar and walls to glasses. It’s freezing but since 3,500 Yen cover charge includes not only a complimentary drink but also thermal jacket rental, don't worry about being frozen to death.

  

3. Penguin bar

It’s not surprising see cafes with dogs and cats these days, but you can't have heard of a bar with penguins. It's indeed exotic and worth a visit if you are penguin lovers. However those cuddly friends are just kept in an aquarium placed at one corner and it's not like penguins joining your table and drinking with you.

4. Vowz: Run by serious Buddhist monks 

Buddhist monks opened a bar to meet and relieve mankind living in a secular world in the belief that patrons feel less constrained in a place like bar. Bartenders are serious monks, not just costumed ones, and they serve religious chants and sermons and good cocktails. So why don’t you take a spiritual short break and have your soul cleansed here while in Tokyo?

5. Vibe Bar: The essence of sex toys  

In terms of adult industry, no country is a match for Japan, and the Vibe Bar is the one example. Located at the center of Tokyo, this adult toy themed bar with hundreds of sex toys is an absolute must-visit. Unfortunately, this perfect place for horny souls doesn't welcome one with penis unless he doesn't bring their girl friends with. 

6. Lock up: Drinks in a prison!

I guess this jail-themed bar has been introduced numerous times by various media. Though I have no experience of imprisonment, everything from the jail cells where you will be sitting to cocktails seemed very realistic and spooky. We see more and more horror-themed bars in Tokyo such as Vampire, but Lock up is the classic.

7. Robot Restaurant: Not much of robots but girls

How about a robot show with lots of sexy babes in leather bikinis? You will not see anything like this outside of Tokyo. Though, in this show, sexy babes take much important roles than robots, robots are pretty sexy too. Can't quite catch what it is? Just click and check out the video. 

8. Ninja Akasaka: Experience Ninja tricks

Today, there are so many bars and restaurants with various themes. It’s not exceptionally exotic in terms of the interior, but the foods and Ninja staffs which sometime even involve magic tricks would be beyond your imagination. I would strongly recommend “Go!”.
