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.

This is a very popular store in the heart of Susukino, Sapporo. It is a late night place that is very popular with late night revelers. This store sells amnan.

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.

Suntory is synonymous with Japanese whiskey. Suntory Whiskey Avanti is a popular spot to try one of the many whiskeys that Suntory offers. There are two Avanti bars in Sapporo. One is in the popular Tanuki Koji Shopping Arcade, the other can be found along the main street running through Sapporo. Both these bars are similar in size with the same menus. There is a sit down charge in these bars unfortunately, and they are smoking establishments. The prices here vary from about ¥1000 to ¥3000 depending on your age of whiskey.

[the_ad id=”4264″]

These bars also serve a variety of other cocktails so even if you don’t like whiskey, you can still enjoy a good drink. The bar tenders here are mainly female staff and they are very experienced at making the best drinks for you. The best thing about these bars is the openness to the street and public. It’s a good place to people watch while enjoying a drink. For those traveling, a good spot to see the daily life. These bars are smoking establishments. There are some food items on the menu such as pizzas, and ham dishes and other finger food.

Getting There
King Xhmu is on the southern end of Susukino. It's a 6 minute walk from either Nakajima Koen station or Susukino station. Best to exit Susukino station and walk south down the main road of Susukino. The club will be on the right down south 6 street.
4 Chome-424-10 Minami 7 Jonishi, Chuo Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido 064-0807

King Xhmu is one of the biggest clubs in Sapporo and Hokkaido, if not the biggest. The club has a striking edifice, that of stone serpents and a giant Aztecan face bearing down over the street. The inside is equally impressive with a three story high interior decked out with cool designs such as silver gilded snakes, skulls, and a giant bird of prey spreading its wings over the bar. The club has a main dance floor area with a stage, two bars, a smaller dance floor on the second floor plus a women’s sitting area. The club is mostly popular after 23:00 where it gets busy. 

[the_ad id=”4264″]

For those entering the club, after showing ID, party goers will realize that men have to pay more than their female counterparts. Women are usually free. For those unfamiliar with the club, the cost is around ¥3500 for men. The club, although of its large size, has a relatively small dance area and standing area. A lot of the club is made up of (and usually empty) VIP lounge areas that a cordoned off from the main area. These VIP areas are the only places to sit in the club unfortunately, so unless you want to spend up to an extra ¥20,000 you have to stand.  Cocktails, beers, and champagne are sold at the bar. Cocktails are served in small plastic cups and the small plastic shot glasses are rarely filled to the top. It’s better to order bottled beer to get your moneys worth. Drinks are around ¥500. There are events throughout the year, so check the website for more information.
