Piano bar in Shibuya. The same night I saw the Aoyama street mannequins, I went to this nifty little bar called Piano in Shibuya. Very chicand very small, even for Tokyo standards: 3 bar seats downstairs, about 6 people could sit upstairs confortably. The stair well is as wide as a bar stool seat, the stairs more closely resembling a ladder. Its very velveted and very chandelier'd. The stuffed animals add well to the ambience. The wine list is extensive and entirely French.

We had one beer each and got hit with a ¥1000 per head table charge. We should have told them to shove it, but its a sweet little place and I guess we had thoughts of going back there at some stage with some girls, a foreign rock band and a big bag of something to snort. Better keep the management sweet.

UPDATE! I found Piano's sister bar Red Bar around the corner in Shibuya. Its heaps cool - it has similar decor but the the drinks are all ¥500 (sweet) and its was really pumping in the early hours of saturday morning last week. Plus its a little bigger; there is room to turn around if you really need to. Some chick spilt beer on me and spent nearly half an hour trying to wipe it off my leg while apologizing (she was totally gone) and some dude kept shouting out to the whole bar that because he was ugly he had to talk loudly in order to impress chicks. Actually he was quite good looking and was only annoying the chicks, but I found it funny.
