Third Place

Replacing Smoke House as the new third bar in the "Yellow Ape" empire. Very close to Yellow Ape as well, between exits 2 and 4 of Kitahama station. 10-15 taps of domestic and imported brews. A varied and well chose list upon my visit. ¥1200ish a pint. Downstairs holds the small bar with a few seats while the upstairs is spread out with several comfortable tables and large Victorian type chairs. Staff was pretty new it seemed (didn't recognize any of them) and definitely need some time to hone it and work out the kinks. Seems like it would be a fun bar if the atmosphere was a bit more lively, it was dead on a Saturday night. Perhaps with some more time to prove themselves the bar and staff will shine.
