A very unique and cozy bar in central Sapporo. The theme has a jazz blues style going on reminiscent of a small bar down in New Orleans. Crowding the walls and roof are trinkets, statues, and posters from all around. Seating wise, there are a couple of counter seats and a couple more small tables. This bar is best to drink in very small of groups of up to 4.  The bar is singularly run by the owner. He speaks very little English however. The menu has mainly beer and cocktails on the menu. Drinks go for about ¥600 per drink, as well as the cocktails. There is a sit down charge of at least ¥500 per person so be warned as many customers are surprised when the bill comes. This is a cozy bar and has a great little atmosphere plus you can find some classic bottled beers here such as Budweiser, Corona, Kirin, and Guiness to name a few. 

This is primarily a bar though they do have some food here, albeit basic bar food. The name does say cafe and they do have coffee here and some cakes to enjoy. Overall, a good little bar to check out while in Sapporo.

Perch is a great homely coffee shop in Sapporo. It has been set up in one of the houses in area and serves not only as a cafe, but as a bar and also as an arts and crafts store! On the first floor there are comfortable chairs plus tables for larger groups, and a kitchen area where the friendly owner cooks up some nice lunches and homemade desserts. For lunch or dinners they have pastas, smoked sausages, and a delicious keema curry. There is also a selection of spirits and wines if you are looking for something stronger than coffee.

The desserts here are fantastic. The caramel pudding is homemade, as well as the cheesecake. Both are equally delicious and are the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of coffee or tea. As well as the dining area, there is a tatami room as well that has some nice handmade crafts for sale. A nice little Japanese touch to the place. On the 2nd floor you can find some more items, handmade dolls and cups and saucers, plus Japanese memorabilia to purchase. Perch is a nice cafe/bar and is very affordable making it a good place for a quiet lunch or dinner or it even serves as a party venue for large groups if need be!

Solitude is very cozy jazz bar in Sapporo. It is as you would expect a dark and atmospheric bar with some very nice jazz tunes to chill to. Access is via a narrow flight of steps down. The bartender is very welcoming and, being a jazz drummer himself, a very cool character. He knows a lot about jazz! He also knows plenty about sake. This is the perfect spot to have a quiet drink and relax to some tunes. The bar is not far from Tanuki Koji and there is a small sit down charge but it’s worth it. The drinks are not overly expensive. There is only counter seating but it’s a great chance to talk to the owner and fellow jazz enthusiasts.

Salt Moderate is a dining bar in central Sapporo. Its main attraction is its oysters. If you are looking for seafood plus some western style meats and dishes, this is a good place to try. It can get busy on the weekends, so it’s better to reserve a seat or table. There kitchen here is open so you can see the busy cooks getting the tasty dishes ready. As we’ve said, the oysters here a good and fresh and you can order them individually or there are oyster platters available. These are served on beds of ice. There are different servings of oysters with different toppings, such as fish eggs, cheese, and a chili sauce. Fantastic!

[the_ad id=”4264″]

There are many other great dishes here too! Steaks served on a wooden slab, hand made fries, avocado salads, plus a nice chicken dish. All this food is nicely presented by the relatively young  staff here. To go with the food you can enjoy an all you can drink option. This goes for 90 minutes and includes beer. This place is good for small groups of up to four, or for couples to celebrate a birthday or on a date. This is a smoking establishment so be aware of you don’t like smoking. This definitely a place to visit again.
