Practical information : Take a break Japan
Timetable
Opening times vary enormously. Many bars also serve coffee during the day from 11am. Bars that only open in the evening usually do so around 5pm. Most cafés close between 8pm and 10pm, and bars close at 2am at the earliest.
Budget & Tips
Expect to pay at least ¥600 for a beer, and ¥1,000 in a microbrewery. Although more and more establishments accept credit cards or contactless payment, it's better to have cash on hand when you go to small bars. Some offer happy hours between 5pm and 7pm.
Age restrictions
Consumption of alcohol by minors (under 20) is prohibited. However, it is not against the law for minors to enter bars, and it remains at the discretion of the establishment.
What's very local
The izakaya are located between the restaurant and the bar. They serve small dishes like tapas, all washed down with alcohol. More spacious than bars, they can easily accommodate groups.
Smokers
Since April 2020, smoking has been banned inside restaurants, with the exception of small bars and gargotes run by a single person or a (very large) family.
Tourist traps
Bars or theme cafés sometimes charge an entrance fee or table charge in addition to the drinks. The amount should always be specified on arrival.
