A retro Tokyo bar and the man who runs it

The bar below is one I have a real soft spot for. Partly because of how it looks, but mostly due to this photograph I took through the window several years ago. An affection that has now increased further after meeting the lovely fella who runs it. A man as warm and welcoming as the establishment he presides over.

      I bet. An interesting little bar with a nice owner is tough to beat!

    Great photo. I like the community table so you can sit with other patrons.

      Cheers. Yeah, not something you see all that often in Tokyo. A table that’s hopefully used to its full potential.

    Can you tell the location? Or at least the station?
    Many thanks!

      Yeah, no problem at all. It’s near Ueno station in one of the alleyways opposite Yodobashi Camera.
