Im confused....what is all the hype about with this place. I heard that Thursday night was supposed to be a great happy hour so me and a buddy went to check it out. Here's what we found....
We got there at around 5 to a pretty much empty bar area....which was actually nice because we could pick which table we wanted to plant ourselves at. We ordered a couple beers and some sushi. The beers come out in a bottle with a semi cold glass...the sushi came out just a few minutes later. Id say the sushi was at best a 6 out of 10 as far a tastiness. But for 1/2 off what do you expect......someone once said never eat 1/2 off sushi....they may have been right!!
As two single guys the real reason we went there was not so much for the sushi but to check out the "scene" that so many people have told me about. Im pretty sure i was at the correct place....and there was definitly NO scene there. Well let me clarify...if your 50 or older, divorced, maybe have a few kids or some kinda baggage....this is definitly the spot for you. The bar area is surrounded by older aged men that have their hair slicked back and for some reason think they're 25 again (Ed Hardy shirts just dont look right on a 60 year old). These guys swarm around the bar like vulture's ready to attack its prey...which was very entertaining to watch!!
So after about 7 Kirin Lights and 8 hot sakis there was STILL no scene....what a disappointment!! This was not my first time at Sapporo and I definitly don't go for the food, but now i can not go for the scene. I am sick of trying this place and wishing i went somewhere else by the time its over. Can someone please tell me where there is a fun, YOUNG (or atleast YOUNGER), below 40 year old happy hour???
