What are some of the best/unique bars in Tokyo? I'll be staying in Shibuya. Thanks!

kunoichi, Living in Japan

If you are staying in Shibuya, how about visiting "Hachigatsu No Kujira"? The bartender loves watching films and this bar is famous for cocktails inspired by films. If you tell them your favorite movie, they will make cocktails according to that. Hachigatsu No Kujira: https://fastjapan.com/en/p12...

Where is the best nightlife spots in Tokyo?

Mari Takahashi, Living in Japan

Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi, Ginza, Shinbashi have lots of bars and Izakayas (Japanese pubs) to spend a night. Some places even open all night.If you are looking for clubbing, Roppongi and Shibuya are better than other places.

Mari Takahashi, Living in Japan

There isn't much "night market" out all year around in Japan. Night market in Japan is out seasonally, and it is called "Ennichi". Learn more about Ennichi:http://www.jnto.go.jp/eng/indepth/cultural/experience/ad.htmlFor nightlife other than that, I think it is not much different from other count...

Where can I meet English speaking locals?

Norman, Lived in Japan

I think the fastest and most effective way to find them is online. But if you want to find them face to face, then go to a bar that is popular among foreigners is the most effective I think.

My infant (2 y/o) will be travelling with us is he allowed to go in Kabukicho? Or can we bring him in any pubs or bars? thanks!

leo, Living in Japan

Yes, you can bring your child to Kabukicho, and pubs and bars. There are no prohibition. But some pubs and bars are not suitable for the infants. For instance, there would be no separation between smokers and non-smokers so that your child can breath smoke.

I like to experience off the path nightlife and local culture entertainment

leo, Living in Japan

I don't know where you are going to visit, but in case you will visit Shinjuku, I reccommend Golden Gai. It's an area where tiny bars are assembled. You can enjoy peculiar atmosphere there. It's in central of Shinjuku.https://www.google.co.jp/amp/s/www.roughguides.com/article/tokyos-tiniest-drink...
