Zanshin is a cool little bar in Susukino, Sapporo. It is particularly well known to snowboarders, skiers, and skateboarders. The staff here are and were semi pro skiers and snowboarders and definitely bring friendliness and some wildness to the bar!

There is some counter seating plus a couple of couches and tables fro larger groups.

Bar Waduro is a high end cocktail bar. For those with a bit of money to sip on some professionally made drinks, Bar Waduro is in a convenient location. There are a huge amount of drinks to choose from and each the menu is organized into liquor bases. They have whiskey (both bourbon and scotch), vodka, tequila, gin, rum, and assorted shochu and sake. You can either enjoy a drink straight or on the rocks, or try one of the cocktails. These cocktails are superb and are worth the money. The menu however is only in Japanese so be best to have some kind of translating device or a translator.
When going here, be observant that the final bill may be more than expected. There is a sit down charge here (which comes with a small bowl of nuts), and that charge is ¥1000 per person. This is an expensive charge that is added onto any drink ordered. There are a few food items to nibble on and to add to the drinking experience. Overall, the drinks made here are second to none (the martini is particularly good), but the cost may put some revelers off. This bar is a suitable for a special occasion and sampling one or two different drinks before moving on elsewhere.

For a night out on the town in Obihiro most of the bars and restaurants are on the north side of Obihiro Station. Walking the streets you will come across Tokachi No Nagaya & Kitanoyatai. These narrow streets cover two blocks and seem to be one of the most popular areas for the locals. Lining the streets are around forty small bars, izakayas, and restaurants. They are all quite compact and can fit up to around twelve people (some even have standing space only). Each bar is unique and as you walk down the street you can see and hear the revelers enjoying a good night out on the town.
The compact shops at Kita no Yatai and Tokachi no Nagaya serve locally brewed sake and the food here is fantastic. You can find dishes made from the fresh produce of Tokachi. One of the great things about these bars is that they are open all year and can be enjoyed in any weather. They have covers to keep the warmth in winter and are opened out during the summer. There is a great atmosphere throughout the streets and is a great Japanese experience. These streets are a must see while in Obihiro and worth more than one visit to enjoy all the bars and restaurants!
