Overview
Namba after dark has bars with no English menu and no room for a tour group, six seats at a counter, the owner two feet away. We get you in. First stop's on us: two drinks, sake, a highball, or a Japanese sour, however the night calls it. We don't force you into expensive, pre-set drink packages. Pay only for what you actually want to drink at local prices Your guide knows the owners well enough to seat you where a walk-in tourist wouldn't get past the door. From there expect local craft beer, more sake, and whatever the bar's actually known for. What makes this different: we keep groups small on purpose, max 8 guests. A 20-person crawl can't fit into a 6-seat izakaya. We can. That's the whole idea, and it's why the bars let us in at all. Good fit for: ・Travelers who want a real night out, not a photo-op crawl between chain bars ・People who like being handed a drink they've never heard of and told why it's good ・Last-minute bookings ・Anyone who wants Osaka as it actually runs
Meeting and Pickup
Please note: While Google Maps shows our street address, our shop is actually underground. Look for the stairs/entrance near [BIC Camera, ROUND 1, AMZA]. Our store is close to Exits B21 and B23. We are next to the DOCOMO Shop and in front of Mother Garden (Pet Paradise).

Itinerary
1. Your first stop, a standing bar tucked into Namba's back alleys where regulars have been drinking for decades. Order what you like and chat with the Osakans through your guide. Get 2 welcome drinks here to start your night, everything after that is pay-as-you-go.
2. A counter bar everyone in Namba walks past without noticing. Locals know better. Order whatever the guy next to you is having, chat with the bartender, and get a feel for a place where nobody's performing for tourists.
3. Wrap up the night at a hidden bar tucked right next to Dotonbori. Try local sake, or better yet, the famous Obanzai. Ever heard of it? If not, that's exactly why you should join us, we'll let your guide explain it over a drink.
