Blog - Bar Eden

Food Nakano Bar Eden

Tonight we dropped by Bar Eden, a "maid bar" that opened last year in Nakano. Yes, after maid kissa and maid ge-sen, it's the turn of maid bars to turn up in Tokyo, and of course we get one early in our well-reputed otaku town.

Aside from the boss at the entrance, the small bar is entirely operated by cute-ish girls in black and white maid outfits. From anywhere in the bar they can easily be spotted by their typical maid hat. We were served by about 3 different girls, of which all but one were almost too quiet and "normal". The other one definitely stood out, running and dancing around and jumping into everyone's conversations, she seemed to be having fun and succeeded putting smiles on everyone's face. Once she seemed to have left for a break, the place seemed to lack some action, and the other maids quietly asking customers "do you need anything else?" were a bit boring.

Almost all seats were occupied during the short time we were there, mostly by 20-30 year old men though I noticed a table occupied by two girls. Probably at least a few customers were carrying like us the current local issue of Hot Pepper in which can be found a coupon for a free drink, so that all you have to pay is the seat charge (¥500 at a table or ¥700 at the counter). Good deal!
Otherwise, they have "all you can drink" 2-hour courses at ¥2800 to ¥3800 (and a non-alcohol one at ¥1800) plus seat charge.

I didn't see anything saying so, though I did assume it wasn't allowed, and I didn't have my camera anyway so I'd have had to use my mobile phone and could only have had a crappy result in the dark.

There are plenty of pictures of the girls on their site though, which I'm sure you must have found already. :)
