Little Tokyo standing bar looks

Some standing bars are horse-shoe shaped. Others are packed beyond belief. Plus the odd one or two are simply very small indeed.

      Yes, definitely no shortage of snacks, or indeed beer!

    What a lovely find. Smarter and cleaner than many.

    That’s a real heartbreaker of a mama too. Though maybe that came to mind because I had this on in the background.

      Yes, but not so much to clean I suppose!

      She certainly had a few regular visitors dropping by the time we were in there. Fellas who were likely there for a mix of the booze and the company.

    That is one clean drinking spot, perhaps due to the it being run by a woman instead of a man? Very inviting smile by the proprietress too. Does she serve the usual grilled snacks or…..?

      Very clean, although not all the female run bars I’ve been to have been so gleaming. In fact some have been really quite the opposite…

      Yeah, she’s really nice. Perhaps a little surprised when we walked in, but we were well looked after. Cooking though is clearly not her thing. Lots of crisps and the like are available. Oddly tinned food too. But not much at all in the way of home made/cooked stuff.
