Yo yo yo. It’s Mr. Wada back on duty. Looking for a place to hit on a Friday night? Here is some reference of popular bars in Okayama City. Welcome to Okayama’s night life.
4 Popular Bars in Okayama City
Pin Ball Cafe
It is just a 5-minute walk from the JR Okayama Station. Whenever I stop by it is jam-packed, that shows how popular it is huh? The owner (I think) looks sorta funky and friendly enough even in the crowd. I definitely recommend trying out the foosball table. If you are with your buddies you gotta try it. Foods shouldn’t be expected, so it is more ideal after eating.

17:00 – 02:00 *It may vary. |

Aussie Bar
It is owned by an Australian guy (that makes sense, doesn’t it?). Walk through the shopping street beside JR Okayama Station for 5 minutes-ish, it’s along the Nishigawa River. It is a compact and at-home bar. Many foreigners come over on the weekends. It could be a nice place for having fun without a company. People are friendly.

Matador
It is a semi-Latin concept bar. Only 1-2 blocks away from Pin Ball Cafe. It serves some food menu like Nachos.
This place throws events more occasionally than other bars like DJ nights, Halloween night, etc. Information gets updated on its website. Check it out. I used to play foosball there but it seems to have moved to the Pin Ball Cafe (I’m still wondering if that’s the same table).
