Ryan’s Irish bar in Sannomiya has closed down leaving hundreds of thirsty gaijin searching for a watering hole to take its place–not that it would be that difficult given if the location and atmosphere even comes close to resembling what Ryan’s was like. Well, take a gander at Blue Fox. Located … um… now I can’t remember. I was pretty twisted when I left the place…um..not far down from Ryan’s and on the ???th floor–now you know why I run my own blog. I’d never make it as a critic or a writer. Anyhoots, it’s well lit. The selection of beer is standard (plus the bonus of Edelpils by Sapporo. Very nice). The prices were reasonable (or at least that’s what I can remember today). The owner, Alif, is a soft spoken long time expat hailing from from from um, you’ll have to ask him. Nice guy. There’s enough space in the place to dance and there will be live music. Love the automatic toilets, just hope he can figure out how to make the cover AND the seat rise when I walk in the bathroom. I didn’t notice if food or snacks were available but he did say they would be taking credit cards starting next month — scary. The clientèle has yet to be decided since it just opened but I can see it being full of foreigners AND Japanese both young and old. Alif has said he doesn’t want the bar to be strictly gaijin and welcomes everyone. Seems like a nice place. I’ll be following up on this posting with more info. UPDATE: Well. The rumors are starting. I’ll give it a few more months until I start talking. Happy hour is from 5:00 to 7:55. You must be logged in to post a comment. |
