Luida’s Bar has been open since January of 2010. The main area is a “standing bar,” meaning that there are no barstools.

The popular Slime monsters are all over the place, their smiling teardrop shapes found in both the décor and the food design.

There is even an autographed drawing of a slime from Yuji Horii, the game’s creator, framed on the wall!

But not to worry—you will not be outnumbered by King Slime and his lesser minions. Fans of the series will notice the many details that add a special touch, from the Mimic who is helpfully standing by to offer you a napkin, to the heroic swords cased over the dining area.

There are also many small details. Even the bathroom is themed--toiletries are kept in a treasure chest, and you can see the command screen under your face when you look in the mirror. Even opening the small treasure chest gives you a message from the game—

Luida’s Bar isn’t just for local fans. The website is only in Japanese, but the bar has English menus for fans from overseas. No need to worry that your Slime Nikuman (meat bun) is going to get mixed up with Mud Hand Curry! And it’s not just food that’s on the menu—there is a separate section for character goods, so you can pick out a Dragon Quest souvenir while you wait!

There are also special rooms with seating available. Want to hold a Dragon Quest-themed party or meeting? The Royal Room can be booked for two hours, costing you 850 yen per person in charge – up to twelve people can make use of this reservation, but you definitely need at least five party members!

Another option is the Dragon Quest Special Course (available until 11:00 p.m.) that includes ten dishes and all-you-can-drink for 2,5 hours, and karaoke for 5,200 yen per person! While this fun offer can be enjoyed all by yourself, the extra room fee is waived for groups of two or more. NO matter if you’re just hopping by for a quick drink or want to celebrate for the entire evening, the Royal Room is an amazing setting to relax, sing, and party in!

If you're a fan of the online Dragon Quest game, there's a room for you as well! The Play Room offers seating for six, and four people can play online at the same time on the big screens. It's the perfect party spot for your adventuring party! After 6:00 p.m. from Sunday to Thursday, each player pays 800 yen per 30 minutes, while Fridays, Saturdays, and national holidays will let you adventure in the Play Room for 900 yen per 30 minutes.

Luida's Bar is often the spot where Dragon Quest-related special events are held, such as the release of a new game. If you are lucky enough to get in, you can be among the first to buy a new copy of the game and enjoy limited-time-only special menus and other surprises. Keep your eye out for Dragon Quest news!

For visitors from overseas, please note that while you can use credit cards to rent the Play Room or the Royal Room, you cannot use them to pay in the standing bar area. The standing bar is first-come, first-serve, but may get crowded during special events and game releases. You will need a reservation to rent the special rooms, which can be done from the Luida's Bar website. You will likely need help from a Japanese speaker (a friend, or a hotel concierge) to make a reservation.

Luida’s Bar is a great place to gather your party before heading out for an evening in Tokyo’s party district. And who knows? Just like the game, it may be possible to gain party members. However your evening goes, Luida's Bar is a must visit for the Dragon Quest fan!
