AiiRO CAFE Formerly: Advocates cafe

(63 Ratings)
Popular open-air option
Start off the night in Ni-Chome. The welcoming crowd at this joint makes it a great place to bring your gay-friendly pals. Late night parties at this small, corner bar end up like block parties with patrons spilling into the streets, cocktails in hand.

love to enjoy the weekend here

after the renovation, still my favorite place to start my weekend and last place to stop by on my crazy night. There is a big Japanese shrine gate in front of the entrance. Good place to take a photo. alot of regular customers and new visitors. Good place to meet guy and good friends:) They have all you can drink for beer every day, just 1000yen! More English speaker staffs now.

Recommend for beer and party lovers

Here is recommended on many websites that I had no hesitation to stop by on my first time in Shinjuku Nichome. It's open air bar and on weekends, you will see a lot of people standing and drinking in their open space till morning. You can enjoy beer as much as you want with 1000yen( to sure they do that whole night. might be only happy hour). Free wifi available. I asked many questions about Tokyo or Shinjuku Nichome on my first time there. They were really nice and answer me all my questions and even show me to the place I wanted to go. They sometimes have party night. It will be fun and many people will gather.

Shinjuku Nichome

It was my first time to be in Japan's biggest gay town. I was looking for some new friends to have a nice chat. AiiRO CAFE was really nice place to relax and meet new people. I think I will go back there again.

always I'll be here to have good time

My favorite place in Nichome is here. I do go many places when I'm in Nichome, but Aiiro Cafe(used to be Advocates cafe) is my starting place. I have a glass of beer(sometime it is hard to stop as a glass…)

great happy hour

Â¥1000 for all you can drink from 6-9pm, can't beat it. But I was there in winter so it wasn't terribly busy.
