Located along the main strip of Roppongi, Two Dogs Taproom is located three minutes from Roppongi Station. Two Dogs is an industrial-themed restaurant and bar that boasts an impressive craft beer menu that includes brews from Japan and abroad.

To perfectly compliment their great craft beer, they have their signature homemade Californian-style pizza that uses fresh dough, tomato sauce made from Campo Grande Pomodorini-Perati Hall tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese imported from Italy. The freshly made pizzas are then fired in the venue's specially built wood-fired oven.

Ten minutes from Shinjuku Station's East Exit, 8 bit cafe is a concept bar where you can play your favorite retro video games while sipping on custom-made cocktails named after various video games and characters.

Another one of Tokyo's many themed bars, Shot Bar Star Club is inspired by Nintendo's Super Mario Bros., with mini mushrooms on the table and green pipe lights suspended from the ceiling. The bar is small and can only sit around 15 people so be sure to arrive early so that you can grab a seat.
