Bar UpOut

Even within the densely packed alleys of Shinjuku Golden Gai, Bar UpOut stands out for its accessible and friendly demeanor, welcoming first-time patrons with ease. The interior carries a bright, inviting feel, naturally encouraging conversation across the counter between staff and neighboring patrons. Taking in the global banknotes adorning the walls while nursing a drink is one of the distinct, casual pleasures here.

The drink menu covers a broad selection, featuring cocktails, beer, wine, and hard liquors. Food is also served, though the bar is best enjoyed by ordering a preferred drink and watching the night unfold at a leisurely pace.

The bar is open every day from 19:00 until 2:00 the following morning. Providing seated table service, it makes a practical evening haven to unwind with a drink after navigating the energetic streets outside.
