A narrow lane lit by lanterns

A guide to spending an evening in Shibuya’s tiny drinking alley, especially if you’re visiting solo or as a pair.

Check before you sit down

Some rooms have only a handful of seats. Ask whether the venue serves meals if you’re hungry, and plan dinner elsewhere if you’re with a larger group.

For a second stop: Bar TIGHT

The bar lists five seats at 1-25-10 Shibuya. If it’s full, move on and keep the narrow alley clear.
