Osaka Nightlife

Osaka is known as a city of people who love good food, good fun and exciting nightlife. Appropriately, there are countless nightspots to discover here, from high-class cocktail bars and clubs to grungy live-music houses to tiny hole-in-the-wall whiskey bars. A number of large venues exist in Osaka as well, such as Banana Hall. It's one of Osaka's best-known live-houses and the reasons are easy to understand. It brings in a diverse selection of acts from around the world, representing many genres of live music, and the hall itself has high ceilings and excellent acoustics and lighting. In a more intimate vein, check out Key Point. Many places in Japan try to capture the feel of an Irish pub but few are as successful as this spot in the Nishi-shinsaibashi area. It provides an atmosphere for convivial imbibing. Bahama is a gritty, all-standing live-house frequented by the city's youth. It has been the launching pad for many a famous band in Japan. Osaka's nights are as busy as its days, so step out after dark and experience for yourself the exciting nightlife of the city.
